INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – An Indianapolis woman who was repeatedly drugged and raped by her husband is speaking out after the judge’s sentence.

A jury found 52-year-old David Wise guilty of six felony charges of rape and deviate conduct in April.

Prosecutors asked for 40 years in prison but the judge handed down a 20 year sentence, consisting of eight years of home detention and 12 years suspended.

Mandy Boardman said, “I feel like I got sucker punched in the stomach on Friday when my rapist, my convicted rapist, was given a home detention sentence. I hear the judge tell me to forgive my rapist, and then I listen to him tell him that he can go home that day. Never in a million years would I have thought that anybody would ever, especially a judge, but I never thought anybody would ever tell me to forgive my rapist. And I never in a million years thought my rapist would be walking out the door with me.”

Courtney Curtis, Marion County deputy prosecutor, said, “This isn’t one of those situations where you can say, ‘Wrong place at the wrong time.’ There is no other place to be than with your family, in your home, asleep, next to your husband, believing that you’re safe.”

Officials say Wise drugged and raped his wife for more than three years.

Boardman never knew about the attacks and only learned about what happened to her after seeing videos on Wise’s cell phone.

Boardman said, “In his phone, I found videos of him raping me after he had drugged me.”

Curtis said, “There is no difference when a woman knows her attacker and when she doesn’t.”

She added, “I think it’s important to remember that this crime is one that was committed in the home. And so him serving a sentence in the home is not ever something that this office would ask for.”

Wise served 24 days in jail before sentencing.

He has been stripped of his rights to visit the pair’s two children but will not be forced to undergo therapy.

He has since filed an appeal.

According to Indiana law, convicted rapists are not required to serve time in prison for the crime.

Just goes to show that Texas isn't the only state with insane judges.

In fairness he never said it was funny.
Though there is something wrong with both the judge and this law in this case.

**daedalus**

You're right. I assumed he was cracking a joke, but I've fixed it now.

I really think we should add creepy torture fantasy to the dakka bingo card though.

Also, yes, the Judge is pretty damned nuts on this one. This outcome is entirely screwed up.

**Ouze**

Well, she gave justice a chance, now she should murder him and claim insanity.

**Grey Templar**

No, what she should do is file a restraining order. He can't come home, and he can't leave it!

**Da Boss**

Can that judge be fired for having demonstrably terrible judgement.

Judges are usually difficult to remove from the bench mid-term, and nearly impossible to remove in almost any venue for "just making bad calls"; but they are usually elected officials - so yes, he can be fired, by the electorate, the next time his retention election is.

We have a winner.

Also, what the actual feth did I just read. O.o Raped her for three years... gets sent home for eight years. fething genius, that judge.

Actually, she's much better off murdering him (inside the home) and claiming self defence. After all, It's not like she hasn't already proven his harmful intent towards her.

And, does anyone remember that female judge who sentenced a rapist to community service a few weeks back? I think she and this judge should go on a road trip together.

We could always get them an all expense paid vacation... To Pakistan

Actually no. They'd probably be pretty popular there XD

**Necros**

She could always crush up some glass and mix it into his spaghetti sauce, no one will ever know since he'll poop away all the evidences while slowly bleeding to death on the inside.. like on Oz.

I remember that episode, but Snopes says no.

**Grey Templar**

The glass would have to still be pretty large to cause internal damage enough to kill. Large enough for someone to know something was wrong with their food.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

She should sell the house,

no house = man cannot stay at home = broke the terms of his sentence

= off to jail

**Dreadwinter**

Burn the house down.

**Bullockist**

Not only is the sentencing poor, but the lack of therapy given the non-custodial sentence is just bizarre.

This is a guy that thinks it's ok to drug , feth people and film it. No gaol, no therapy? I guess it's ok to do then.

**Ouze**

So, I haven't read The Punisher in a long time, but, comics-wise, would the solution be to drug and sodomize the judge AND the husband?

Spoiler:

**Jehan-reznor**

Couldn't find a Lady Justice Facepalm, Really? Now would be the perfect time for her to move out.

**Frazzled**

There's nothing about his case that I can even understand. Its eight ways of crazy.

This is the very best bit; what is he trying to gain, a shorter sentence?

That's exactly what he is after. Due to the laws in this country, once a sentence is handed down, it cannot be lengthened. It can be shortened, however. My guess is that he wants his house arrest to be dropped altogether, leaving him with just the suspended sentence. Or possibly he's trying to get the suspended sentence dropped in favor of just being left with the house arrest.

If we are talking the Punisher, sexual assault isn't his bag. Not even the Garth Ennis version, and Garth Ennis loves him some sexual assault. Shooting people is the Punisher's thing. Shooting is pretty much all he does, unless he runs out of bullets. Then he moves on to stabbing and strangling.

In this instance, the Punisher would shoot the rapist (for being a criminal) and then he would use physical intimidation to convince the judge to only hand down life sentences for all cases he presides over (since the judge hasn't committed an actual crime, he isn't a "valid" target in the Punisher's mind).
