Louisiana Becomes the First to Legalize Surgical Castration for Child Rapists

[Turd Fergusen]

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB/Gray News) - Louisiana became the first state that can order child rapists to have their testicles removed if the victim is under the age of 13.

The law, which went into effect on August 1, only applies if the offender is older than 17 years old, according to WAFB.

Additionally, the law also includes the crime of pornography involving juveniles as an underlying offense, and it’s also not just limited to male offenders.

“At the end of the day I hope that kids know that they can feel safer, because there will be some real tough penalty actions that will occur when somebody violates their innocence,” said the bill’s author Sen. Regina Barrow (D-Baton Rouge).

The law already allowed judges to issue an order of chemical castration.

However, there are some circumstances where the convicted offender might not qualify for the procedure, but that would be determined by the judge and a doctor at the prison.

Attorney Jill Craft says she understands what the law is intended to do but says she anticipates it to be challenged in the courts, arguing it falls under cruel and unusual punishment.

“The problem with something like this is multifaceted. It kinda harkens back to ‘If you steal from me, I’m gonna cut off your hand.’ OK, well how come we don’t do that in the United States? Well because it’s cruel and unusual punishment,” said Craft.

yes cruel and unusual punishment but what about the victim?? wasn't what happened to them cruel and unusual punishment? and yes maybe if people that beat their kids to death if they knew that they would have both hands cut off they wouldn't be so eager to beat a child or defenceless person ...

Them rapists will not have the balls to do that ever again.

This law will be challenged, I'm sure, some bleeding heart liberal lawyer will take on a case just to get their names in the paper. And honestly, I don't think physical castration will work, an abuser will abuse, if they can't with their penis then they'll do it some other way.

it’s also not just limited to male offenders.

How are they going to physically castrate a woman?

I think it would work bc there would be no sexual desire of any kind left, but it will never happen.

Instead of passing dumbass laws that will never hold up and waste a shit ton of money uselessly defending, they ought to try funding programs that might actually help abused children.

Why the hell every state doesn’t just lock them up for life with no parole I’ll never understand.

I'd be afraid that a law like that (not that it'd pass) would just end up causing these sick fucks to end up killing their victims, in frustration, instead of just traumatizing them for life.

You very well may right, these disgusting less than a single celled organism in their haste may try and destroy as much evidence as possible in hopes of covering of their heinous crimes in a literal attempt to save their own balls.

But I also see almost no other choice. Nothing seems to deter heinous criminals. They say alcoholics have a disease, once an alcoholic always an alcoholic-even after 20 yrs sober, why? Because the defect, the "disease" is still there just maybe the host (alcoholic) has figured out how to "manage" the disease. Well a serial killer will always be a serial killer, a rapist will always be a rapist, a pedophile will always be a pedophile-except I don't think any kind of AA or NA or SA (Serial anonymous) or PA (pedophiles anonymous) RA (you get the point) NOTHING will be of any use. NO deterrent will ever be truly 100% effective-and the for the sickest NOTHING will be effective. So fuck it. Give them life in prison, HARD HARD MISERABLE labor, make them WORK for the good of society, license plates, quarrying stones, sewage just the worst of the worst AND lets cut off their nuts too just for shits and giggles! I mean really why not? They will never ever change, they are beyond hope, beyond rehabilitation they have caused nothing but pain, fright, and unspeakable horrors-why should the same fate not befall them? They can obviously live without their testicles-so why not? I am sorry but they should SUFFER, be humiliated and torn down-just like they did to their victims-one snip can't hurt...right?

Women would have their clitoris removed-in back twisted cultures they remove the clitoris of young females, it's sick, ritualistic, a family member can do it with a jagged piece of glass/knife while this poor young girl is held down, legs pinned open for the world to see as the poor little girl is mutilated. A ragged unsanitized weapon cruelly cuts out her "pearl" so she won't grow up to be "promiscuous"-she now has no physical pleasure of sex. Should never happen-EXCEPT perhaps to those whose crimes are as heinous to warrant a castration-so it would be a clistration?

An interesting article to read.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2007/12/can-a-sex-offender-still-have-sex-after-he-s-been-castrated.htm

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is under the spotlight this week for helping grant parole to Wayne Dumond, a convicted rapist who had been castrated more than a decade earlier in what he claimed was a violent attack. * After Dumond was released from prison in 1999, he went on to rape and murder at least one woman, and maybe two. How can someone who’s been castrated still commit rape?
He can still have an erection. In general, castrated men experience a much-diminished sex drive, because their bodies have very low levels of the male hormone testosterone. This lowers the frequency, strength, and duration of erections, and can cause hot flashes, vertigo, loss of body hair, and breast growth. But depending on the individual, it may be possible for him to become aroused and even to ejaculate...

Maybe Louisiana should read that article. Sounds like people would be lulled into a false sense of security. I honestly got all my knowledge if castration from Game of Thrones, not a reliable source it turns out.

Also female castration would not be the clitoris as that simply contains the nerve cells much as a man’s actual penis. It would involve removing the ovaries as they produce the female sex hormones. (That I got from Google not GOT)

Maybe you were thinking of a full penectomy.

yup, ovaries for a woman produce the most hormones, but I am not looking for a denial of hormones for sexual pleasure, what people grasp and know best is their own physical attributes to turn them on-a nut sack or a clit- to be forthcoming, it can be removed to at least stifle some sexual pleasure-NO PLEASURE FOR YOU!!! These people will NEVER change, so change some physical attributes of them that gives them so much pleasure and WORK THEM. Lest not waste a single waking moment they could be WORKING...

I think the offender should have to spend at least 20 years in prison. The child should be able to grow up and not have to be concerned about where the monster is!
