No jail time for admitted sexual predator

Robert Richards IV admitted to, and was convicted of, raping his 3-year-old daughter and sexually abusing his 19-month-old son.  Richards is an heir to the DuPont fortune and because of his affluence his judge decided that he "wouldn't fare well" in prison, so this violent man was sentenced only to probation.
