How can US rapist win joint custody of victim’s child?

The case of a Michigan man awarded joint legal custody of a child whose mother he sexually assaulted when she was 12 has provoked outrage.

一例密歇根男子性侵12岁女孩并且获得女孩子女共同法律监护权的案例激起了公愤。

Many are incredulous that Christopher Mirasolo, 27, could be granted parental rights after a DNA test established his paternity.

27岁的克里斯托弗·米拉索洛（Christopher Mirasolo）在确认父亲身份的DNA测试后获得父母权利让很多人不可思议。

The victim’s lawyer said the case was set in motion after her client received child support from the state.

受害人律师称，在她的客户获得州儿童支持后，该案例开始动议。

The case is thought to be the first of its kind in Michigan and maybe the US.

该案例被视作密歇根或者美国首例此类案件。

Attorney Rebecca Kiessling filed objections on Friday after Judge Gregory Ross ruled that Mirasolo had parental rights to the boy, who is now eight years old, reports the Detroit Free Press newspaper.

《底特律自由新闻报》报道，周五，继法官格里高利·派克裁定米拉索洛拥有对八岁男孩的父母权利后，律师丽贝卡·基斯林提出异议。

Judge Ross also provided Mirasolo with the victim’s home address.

派克法官还给米拉索洛提供了受害人的家庭住址。

The woman, who now lives in Florida, has been told to move back to Michigan.

如今居住在佛罗里达的女子已经被告知搬回密歇根。

Judge Ross also ordered Mirasolo’s name to be added to the birth certificate without the mother’s consent, her attorney added.

她的律师补充道，派克法官在没有获得母亲同意的情况下，命令把米拉索洛的名字加到出生证明上。

A 21-year-old woman told police Mirasolo forcibly raped her while holding her captive when she was 12 in September 2008.

一名21岁的女性告诉警方，2008年9月当她12岁的时，米拉索洛强行强奸她并且控制了她的行动。

The victim’s ordeal began when she, her 13-year-old sister and a friend sneaked out of their house to meet an older boy and his friend, Mirasolo, who was 18 at the time.

当受害者13岁的姐姐和一个朋友偷偷溜出房子去见一个大点的男孩和他当时18岁的朋友米拉索洛时，受害者的痛苦开始了。

Mirasolo held them captive for two days before releasing the older sister in a park.

米拉索洛囚禁了她们两天，然后把姐姐在公园释放了。

He was arrested a month later when the woman became pregnant, Ms Kiessling added.

基斯林补充道，他因为受害者怀孕一个月后被捕了。

The charge is a first-degree felony in Michigan, but Mirasolo instead received a plea deal from the Sanilac County Prosecutor’s Office for attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct.

该项指控是密歇根一级重罪，但是取而代之地是，米拉索洛因为尝试三级犯罪性行为收到萨尼拉克县检察官办公室的认罪协议。

He was sentenced to one year in county jail, but only served six-and-a-half months before he was released early to care for his sick mother.

他在县法院被判刑一年，但是在因为要照顾生病母亲早释前，只服刑六个半月

In 2010, he sexually assaulted another victim between the ages of 13 and 15 and was jailed for four years, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections.

据密歇根狱警部门称，2010年，他性侵另一名13-15岁的受害者，入狱四年。

Mirasolo was released in March 2012 and is a registered sex offender.

2012年3月，米拉索洛被释放，是一名登记入册的性犯罪者。

According to Ms Kiessling and the victim, the case was prompted after the mother sought child support.

据基斯林女士和受害者称，该案是在母亲寻求儿童支持后提出的。

Mirasolo’s attorney, Barbara Yockey, told the Detroit Free Press that her client "never initiated" the custody case.

米拉索洛律师芭芭拉告诉《底特律自由报业》，她的客户从未发起过监护案。

She said it was "routinely done by the prosecutor’s office when a party makes application for state assistance".

她表示，当一方提出申请国家援助时，这是“检察院经常做的”。
