Before he raped an underage girl, Officer Justin LaClere asked her “Want a baby in ya?” As disturbing as this story is, the most troubling thing is the fact that this rapist cop just received a slap on the wrist – only two months behind bars.
The Phoenix police officer was sentenced last Friday to 60 days in jail even though it was acknowledged that he lured a minor into sex. The charges of sexual exploitation and sexual conduct with a minor – both felonies – notwithstanding, he received a sentence that in no way reflected the severity of what he did.
LaClere avoided a prison sentence of two to seven years by accepting a generous plea deal, given to him by the prosecutor who apparently wanted to give the officer special privileges.
