Shocking Legal Battle: Convicted Rapist Wants Visitation Rights With Child from America Live With Megyn Kelly // Aug 27 2013 A shocking legal battle is playing out in Massachusetts, where a man convicted of statutory rape could be allowed to visit the child that he fathered with his victim. 
Jamie Melendez pleaded guilty to four counts of statutory rape in 2011 and was sentenced to 16 years of probation. In his request for visitation rights, Melendez argues he should be allowed to see his child since he is required to pay $110 a week for child support. The unidentified woman, now 19, was 14 when she says Melendez intimidated her into a sexual relationship. The woman's lawyer, Wendy Murphy, joined Shannon Bream this afternoon to discuss the emotional legal dispute. She argues that the matter has no business being in family court, where her client has to see her attacker regularly. She wants a federal judge to revoke the family court provisions of Melendez's probation after a state court refused. "[Jamie Melendez] was predatory. This was not a relationship at all and the fact that it's called statutory is such a misnomer. Indeed it was rape of a child," said Murphy, who asked the criminal court judge to order Melendez to pay restitution to her client as part of the criminal probation system. Instead, the judge said the matter of child support would have to be handled in family court. "We're in federal court because it's so offensive to frame this serious crime of rape of a child as a family," said Murphy. She says she believes the federal court will side with her client, and hopes it happens quickly. The state of our nation! Ann Coulter sounds off tonight on Hannity!

do we know what he did even?
or are we assuming? the charge does say 'statuatory rape' which is not the same as someone forcing themselves on another,,, |

the girls LAWYER said she was intimidated
that doesn't tell me what happens,,,,attorneys are paid to win cases, and spin facts,,,, there is some reason he was only charged with a 'statutory' charge, the attorney opinion does little to shed light on what that reason might be |

the girls LAWYER said she was intimidated that doesn't tell me what happens,,,,attorneys are paid to win cases, and spin facts,,,, there is some reason he was only charged with a 'statutory' charge, the attorney opinion does little to shed light on what that reason might be Your right, she could have been into it and even could have been seeing and or dating the guy until either A) he did something to hurt her feelings or break her heart or B0 her parents found out and she was afraid of getting in trouble so she cried rape. I have seen that happen to a friend before. Not getting any jail or prison time does tell me that it isn't as serious as the girls Attorney says. If it was he would have done the 16 years. All though I don't think I have ever seen someone not sentenced to prison but to 16 years of Parole with no prison time. Sounds like a weird situation with not much information out to the public for us to analyze. I do feel bad for the baby though :) |

Just because the first didn't take the case of child rape resulting in pregnancy seriously doesn't mean it shouldn't be tried before a judge who will take it seriously. |

Also their Tier level will tell you a lot right there too. |
