This is just terrible! He is a sex offender and should have to register as one!!!
"Smith had told Newsmax's "Eric Bolling: The Balance" this month he believed jail time would be too brief and not correct his daughter's attacker's future behavior, instead urging prosecutors to issue a sentence for a residential sexual rehabilitation program as long as he would have to register as a sex offender.
But Loudoun County Judge Pamela Brooks granted the defense's request to drop the sex offender portion of his sentence during a hearing Thursday, saying she made a mistake by accepting an oral and not written motion, according to WJLA.
"My wife and I are not just heartbroken about today's ruling, we are quite frankly mad at how the justice system and the Loudoun Commonwealth's attorney has let down both our daughter, as well as the other victims of his predatory actions," the Smith family wrote in a statement to the TV station. "The person who committed these horrible crimes against these three young women will not have to bear the shame at being known as a lifetime registered sex offender, as he was originally sentenced.
"Rather, we are now concerned more than ever that this change in his legal status may put other parents' daughters at risk of harm in the future."
