http://www.rawstory.com/2017/09/ny-cop-avoids-prison-despite-admitting-he-raped-teen-while-working-as-school-security-guard/

A New York judge expressed horror at letters written in support of a retired police officer who admitted to repeatedly raping a teenage girl — but he managed to avoid prison anyway.

Adam Mesiti pleaded guilty to third-degree rape of a 16-year-old, but the letters showed his friends and family still believed he was innocent and had already suffered enough, reported The Daily News.

One letter said Mesiti’s family had been “unjustly disgraced,” and a church deacon insisted “the proof can often be so inconclusive,” and the sentencing judge blasted the former Brockport police officer.

“This tone permeates these letters,” said Judge Sara Sheldon. “These people that love you so much don’t believe you did this. The vast majority don’t believe you did it, and I think it’s because you told them you didn’t.”

A friend complained that the 46-year-old Mesiti, who met the girl when he was working as a school security officer, had his life and career “ruined by accusations and innuendo” because he had agreed to work with students.

The officer took in the girl for a time after meeting her at the school, and their relationship then turned sexual.

Mesiti had pleaded guilty May 22 before another judge who has since retired, and the former officer agreed to register as a sex offender and face a sentence no greater than six months of incarceration and 10 years of probation, the newspaper reported.

“I’m not comfortable with this,” said Sheldon, who faulted the former officer and his supporters for calling the victim’s statements into question.

“Please be comfortable — I did it,” Mesiti told the judge. “There’s no sense in dragging my family, and this young lady, through this.”

Sheldon nearly sent the case back to “square one” after Mesiti’s attorney suggested prosecutors had coerced the retired officer’s guilty plea by threatening his family, but the defense attorney apologized and claimed he misspoke.

Mesiti had been charged with 10 counts of third-degree rape, 20 counts of criminal sexual conduct and 30 counts of sexual misconduct.

The judge sentenced Mesiti to 10 years of probation, and he must register as a sex offender.

He faced a maximum of four years in prison if convicted on all counts.

Are you seriously trying to pretend something involving the word "cop" isn't already instantly politicized now, thanks to liberals and their wars on pretend things?

So this was consensual sex, but she was 16 at the time and his former job as a cop is irrelevant. The article knowingly calls this rape instead of statutory rape. And if the girl was a few months older, this wouldn't have been a crime at all.

Typical liberal clickbait, and all you guys fell for it. This story is literally nothing.

She met Adam Mesiti when he was a security guard at Holley High School and she was a 15-year-old sophomore.

She says she was not living with her family, so he took her in. By junior year, their relationship turned sexual and the episodes occurred mainly at school.

It's terms of being a national news story, it's literally nothing. The only reason this is even being reported is so anti-cop folks like yourself can engage in another circle jerk. The guy wasn't even a cop at the time on top of that. It's no wonder you get your news from joke sites like Rawstory.

Of course it was wrong, and he's been appropriately charged and sentenced. But the outrage and virtue signaling in this topic are a joke. The only reason this is being discussed is because it's another excuse for these edgy rebels to shit on a cop.

I do that when people try to exaggerate about how much of an "outrage" something is, but I would never do that in a story about a school security guard raping a minor. I think that sort of thing would make me a huge asshole.

I never claimed it was some national outrage, you created that in your mind. It's being reported upon because it's something that actually happened. I'm not anti-cop in the slightest, and I dare you to find a single damn thing I've ever posted that would make you think that. And I don't get my news from Rawstory, I live in upstate NY so I saw it shared on Facebook via the Spectrum link, however that didn't have any details so I went with a link that did.

Still doesn't change you don't think an authority raping a minor in school is a big deal, that the man's history is irrelevant, and that "God if it was a few months it wouldn't even be a crime!!!"

Keep being a shitty person though :)

Well seeing how he was a cop, he should have known better. When he was a cop, this is the same stuff he was protecting childen from. Plus its against the law. Something he should have known.

I mean, pretending consensual statutory sex is at all close to actual rape is pure prudish bullshit. The funny thing though is that Admiral actually DOES get extremely outraged over stuff like this normally but apparently he changes his tune when the perpetrator is a cop.

No, as he still was in a position of authority over a minor and, in that scenario, would be having sex with her at his place of employment.

Statutory rape shouldn't be a thing. Coerced sex is rape, if you are going to claim that the sex was coerced though, you should have to provide evidence of coercion, not just point at a number.

I'm having trouble believing you're this dense. Not only was it pointed out that he should be aware of how illegal it is but the fact he was in a position of authority makes it even worse. The fact he didn't get actual jail time is probably due to showing actual remorse.

And for the record I find it a bit shitty that people apparently gave the guy shit for working with students. I've known a few officers who worked at schools and such that knew they would be under a microscope for their position and behaved like competent professions.

Yes, security guard was his current job at the time of the crime and is relevant. Cop was his former job and was not. He was a cop with the Brockport Police Department and then was hired as a private security guard by C.O.P. Security after he left the force.
