Vincent LeCompte Got A Slap On The Wrist
March 17, 2009 by Morbid
Vincent LeCompte
Vincent LeCompte admitted to repeatedly raping a 6-year-old girl for a period of several years. Now, in a controversial decision that the little girl’s family agrees with, Vincent will see no jail time for his crimes. Instead, a plea deal will see that Vincent LeCompte gets a suspended sentence and 20 years probation. That’s right…NO jail time for ADMITTING to repeatedly raping a 3-year-old. Vincent will also be required to undergo sex offender treatment and be limited to where he can live and work…I am assuming there are some guidelines as to how close he can be around children or facilities that harbor groups of children. The reason why this plea deal was reached, was because the family was afraid that Vincent was going to walk. This being because the victim is traumatized. Her grandmother states that after taking the stand three times already has “devastated her.” She went on to state that she didn’t want her back on the stand for a fourth time, where the little girl is being “raped again and again and again.” Tough call, huh? The little girl is already in counseling and will probably carry this experience for the rest of her life. So while I am outraged that this piece of shit is getting off easy, and going right back out to society, I do understand the family’s position. The girl’s physical and mental well-being is just as important and if the hearings are taking a toll on her, what the hell can they do? “Unless you are walking in our shoes, you will never know,” the grandmother stated, and in this case, I think she is 100 percent correct. So what do you think? Personally, I think this is nothing more than an example of an area in which our legal system is broken.

20 years probation, I doubt he is going to go 20 years without violating probation. This guy will end up in prison, even if it’s not for the crime against the little girl. Not to mention his probation fees are going to be like $6000. It’s unfortunate that he isn’t receiving a prison sentence, but if the family thought he was going to get away with it, I guess they did the right thing. They probably also figured he would violate and end up in prison anyways.

I have to agree. The legal system is broken in this area.
Children are not just undersized adults, and consideration should be
taken in light of this fact.
Once a child has testified that testamony should stand and not be required to be
repeated. I realize the whole “right to face your accuser” but I truly believe that
in case of physical or sexual abuse of a child that the physical evidence should
be given greater weight, thus negating the need for the child to have to undergo
additional stress and pain of reliving the abuse.
9:31 am on March 17th, 2009
You got that right Morbid. Had this been an adult woman, I see things going very differently. Of course then she could clearly voice every disgusting moment and convey just how traumatic it has left her. I doubt this 6 yr. old can even put this together as a reality that happened to her, at first it must have been more like a reoccurring nightmare.
This kind of thing pisses me off to no end. Broken is right. No justice for this young child. He only hope was to sit there reliving a nightmare that has now left her devastated…how is that fair? how is that justice?
Heal sweet one, completely.
9:31 am on March 17th, 2009
I completely understand the family doing this deal. I don’t think I could’ve made my little girl testify repeatedly if she was showing any sign of being traumatized.
And if the choice therefore became this slap on the wrist, vs. nothing…
9:33 am on March 17th, 2009
Ok. I do understand completely that the victim shouldn’t have had to take the stand a fourth time. She also shouldn’t have had to take the stand the third and second times, either. Wouldn’t a recording of the first time have sufficed?
I am outraged, however, that a suspended sentence was ever offered as part of his plea deal. Personally, I’m writing to my legislators over this one.
9:33 am on March 17th, 2009
very tough call, you want the bastard lowlife piece of shit to pay, but you can’t keep hurting the child
9:43 am on March 17th, 2009
Hopefully, the grandmother can get a gun and walk up to him when she sees him on the street and blow his brains out all over the streets and then grandma get no time for taking care of a situation that should have been handled differently.
he should just die
die
die
die i wish nothing but bad luck for him
9:44 am on March 17th, 2009
don’t you like what the reporter said
He has strict rules and regulations to adhere to (LOL)
since when did a pedophile raptist ever adhere to any rule or regulation?
Just warm up the cell-he will do it again-maybe that time someone will beat his ass down.
9:59 am on March 17th, 2009
I do find it odd that she was traumatized for years and the family never noticed. If it was that mentally killing for the child, how could they not notice?
I am not in their shoes, but I can’t help wonder. At minimum, I hope she becomes strong quickly and is NOT a victim the rest of her life.
10:12 am on March 17th, 2009
Sure is. I learned of D’D when the case for Nixzmary was occuring. I read the NY Daily News everyday. As I was following up on the case for Nixzmary, a person had made a comment referring everyone to Dreamin Demon for any interested person to go to Central Park and sign a petition to pass a new law saying that any person who abuses a child get sentenced to life in prison. This was going to be called the Nixzmary law. I am not sure how that went, but hoping for the best.
Now with that being said, I feel that any person who rapes a child under the age of 18, should automatically be sentenced to life with NO plea deal. Yes, our consitution gives us the right to a fair trial, but there should be NO exceptions whatsoever when it comes to raping a child. No matter the age, especially when it is a baby such as this one.
This is true! It is one of the points that I am trying to make. They let these assholes walk right out of the courtroom so they can end up their again for something probably more catastrophic than the last offense. Give me a break. I know people, I also have read stories and movies based on true stories, where the innocent was convicted guilty, was sent to jail for years, life or even sent to the path of death and have lost good leading lives due to the fucked up system that our government runs.
So where is justice when they want to give harsh punishments to minor offenses, or convict the wrong people but a pedophile can walk the streets freely to rape as many victims as they can?
10:16 am on March 17th, 2009
Cases involving children MUST be given special consideration; they can not and should not be expected to endure reliving the crime against them just for the sake of “satisfying the court”… the testimony should be given from a separate room via camera, and the child should not even have to breath the same air. We have regulations that protect our children in cars, on bikes, in parks and even the toys they play with because they are vulnerable and delicate. This little girl was thrown to the wolves by our judicial system; where’s her mental and emotional protection?
10:22 am on March 17th, 2009
Here in our tiny town we have a place where children of abuse can go, and talk about it in a kid friendly environment, and the workers tape the child with hidden cameras. This way, the child does not have to endure the courtroom even once, it’s all there on tape to replay as many times as it takes to get the perp convicted. Our system is far from perfect, but this is a start. I’m just afraid this man will become a repeat offender. Why not, as he hasn’t gotten in any real trouble for it.
10:26 am on March 17th, 2009
Unfortunately, this case was like reading a story of my life. I can not judge these parents for their choices because I made the same choice for my daughter. These parents chose to protect her in a way that only someone living that nightmare can understand….. and it is not anyone’s fault but our court sytems.
Here is to a speedy, healthy healing process for the whole family of this little girl. My daughter is now 15 and still has nightmares/flashbacks…. it is a long process.
10:30 am on March 17th, 2009
OMG this makes me absolutely ill. I want baby rapers like this pile of shit to get the death penalty–”right to live card” revoked!! But if nothing else at least keep them locked away for as long as possible….this guy is going to walk??? With probation??? It’s not right…they can’t just let him go….he is a child predator!!
I just can’t stand this shit anymore…it makes me want to quit my job and become a full time activist to try to do whatever I can to help get laws changed so that A) children do not have to be further traumatized in order to get these human garbage piles convicted and B) so these sick fucks never again have the opportunity to hurt another child.
If I were Queen of the World, they’d be exterminated….no jail, no “treatment,” just dead.
10:39 am on March 17th, 2009
If I were Queen of the World, they’d be exterminated….no jail, no “treatment,” just dead.
Long live the queen!
10:45 am on March 17th, 2009
Lol!! Thanks biteme
10:52 am on March 17th, 2009
Would that do any good? Morbid, or anyone, please tell me what I can do to help. I can’t take reading these stories anymore without trying to do something, anything to make a difference. I will write whoever I need to write….I just have no idea where to begin.
10:56 am on March 17th, 2009
I’m praying for an out of control semi-truck to hit him as he walks……
Oklahoma is not OK, in this case!
11:05 am on March 17th, 2009
Execute these trash heaps……forget the courts. As I see it they get
the pleasure of sitting there and reliving their crime, and they get to see
the pain and fear they have caused. For these sickos that is a pleasure.
Why do we even let this go on. Just kill them make the death fit the crime.
No more victims having to re-pleasure the sick fuckers that made them victims.
11:45 am on March 17th, 2009
I have no words…
12:15 pm on March 17th, 2009
Ditto to both of these.
I nominate biteme as Queen of the World!
12:36 pm on March 17th, 2009
i have too much of a migraine to do any more googling about this POS but i would think the main problem with your penalty in this case is that – even though HE knows (and admitted) he raped a baby,and WE know he raped a baby, due to the plea deal (I assume – please correct me if I’m wrong) he wasn’t actually convicted of “raping” the baby. I think he probably plead to something less than “rape.” again, its better than him getting off with a not guilty because the case isn’t strong enough.
that occurred to me as well – most likely he will violate, and get put away where he should be. usually when these guys violate probation, its something minor like skipping a piss test – i pray that no more children fall victim to him.
as the mom of 5 and 7 yo daughters, i wonder that too, but since there isn’t any hint of neglect in this article (there’s no background at all, actually), i hesitate to spread blame for this horrific crime to parents that most likely love the kid to pieces. i can’t imagine this happening to my daughter. the pain and rage would be unendurable.
in order to maintain my rational thought, i try very hard not to be a knee jerk reactionary, jaded by the stories of the despicable parents we read about here. its easy (at least for me) to quickly become suspicious of everyone, so i remind myself, that in real life, the overwhelming VAST majority of parents love their kids and truly want the best for them.
when my “eye squeeze” is better, i want to find out more about this case. i always hope i can learn something to make my kids safer.
i see these responses in every article about child abusers and molesters, but i don’t know you guys personally and i’m not getting a feel from brief posts for whether you REALLY mean that literally, or is it your (rightful) anger talking and fantasizing? i seriously want to know.
do you really mean “forget the courts?” how would that really work in real life? isn’t that basically lynching? knowing human nature, how would you prevent it from inevitably degrading into a mob rule/witch hunt situation? do you think it would really prevent these animals from preying on helpless victims?
12:47 pm on March 17th, 2009
I don’t want to forget the courts or result to mob rule. But I would definitely be fine with giving child sex abusers the death penalty and that’s because I really don’t feel that there is any “treatment” or “rehabilitation” for those individuals. I don’t want anyone who has crossed the line into sexualizing children to live in my society. I think it’s inevitable that they’ll reoffend and I don’t want to take that chance for my children or anyone else’s. Perhaps if we started exterminating them, up and coming chomos would think twice and seek help before they cross the line….perhaps….
12:51 pm on March 17th, 2009
fair trail 1st than impale, no more repeat offenders
Queen Blzbub’s quote
hail the queen
12:57 pm on March 17th, 2009
I will say it very honestly…SHOOT, SHOVEL, AND SHUT UP. That is the only thing that will keep this POS from ever doing this to another child. But thats just me. I hope that little one can have a chance at a semi normal life, but to be honest the damage done can never be erased. Poor babygirl.
1:00 pm on March 17th, 2009
I don’t know, but I’m going to anyway. Suspended sentence for a guilty plea to the rape of a child? Hell no. That’s just uncalled for.
This little girl went in traumatized by that man. He’s taken away a piece of her life that I pray she’ll someday be able to get back. She’s come out traumatized even more due to the way this case was handled by the entire court. Forcing her to testify that many times. In front of him?
If I were queen for a day, the proverbial heads would most definitely roll for that.
1:23 pm on March 17th, 2009
[Execute these trash heaps……forget the courts]
I do believe that those found guilty should forfit their lives
for the greater good of our society. Because there is no rehab,
there is no deterent. Once they begin they are LOST.
They are PREDATORS, and our future is their prey.
They rape, torture, and kill the innocent.
They simply deserve to be tortured in the same manner they utilized
for their victims, then put out of OUR misery.
1:33 pm on March 17th, 2009
@ Granny-G
But we still need to make sure they actually did what they were accused of first, surely?
As far as I can tell it is the prisons you all have no use for, not the courts…..
1:39 pm on March 17th, 2009
OMG–I’ve been reading the Demon for quite some time and finally decided to pop my posting cherry on this one. I was a victim of this kind of abuse from the time I was 6 until I was 13 by my sister’s husband, and this kind of story just makes me want to alternately puke and kill someone. No justice for this little girl and her rapist roams free, and the worst part is he won’t even be called into question until he does it to someone else. Sick, sick, sick. When my father found out what was done to me, he confronted my BIL with the intention of castrating him. I’m glad he didn’t for the sake of his freedom, but it would have saved my niece years of a life I can only imagine after my sister died. And the worst part–my mother knew and protected him for the sake of my sister’s marriage (my sister had no clue BTW). The only cure for being a pedophile is a bullet in the head. Anything else is just ridiculous and an insult to the victim.
1:41 pm on March 17th, 2009
Abroad, You are correct. I feel that “once found guilty” we
should simply skip the whole “let’s support this sicko freak for 20 years”
and take care of business.
1:58 pm on March 17th, 2009
Welcome aboard, Ev1lgurl.
Sorry to hear of your story and of so many damaged lives. I am sure your father has been of more use to you out of prison; but I sympathize deeply with his instincts.
2:16 pm on March 17th, 2009
I understand where the family is coming from. A lawyer is allowed to take a tramitized child and rip him/her to shreds to save his client. THey to me, rank only slightly above their clients.
2:39 pm on March 17th, 2009
I am so sick about this.
This is one of those stories I’d prefer not to know about.
It’s almost like the justice system drumming up business. Cause you just know this sick perverted fucktard is going to screw another little girl. You just know it. And they let him walk out so he can return through that revolving door. More tax money wasted on this sack of shit.
2:52 pm on March 17th, 2009
All Hail Queen Biteme!
BTW use the guillotine so you can save their heads on your wall!!!! Then you can put a tatoo on their heads that says “One less piece of shit children do not have to worry about” and on the wall above all their heads you can put “The Great Piece of Shit Wall. More Coming Soon!”
3:20 pm on March 17th, 2009
I don’t understand why they can’t take ONE videotaped interview of the child’s testimony, and use that at trial and at sentencing, if need be. Why must any child be forced to testify more than once? Why must a child be forced to testify in real-time? Why isn’t video sufficient? If there any attorneys out there, please help me to understand our laws on this. It is an outrage that this mutant, this piece of shite won’t serve any time. While I understand the family’s decision, it would haunt me that my decision would inevitably lead to the abuse of another child. Will he reoffend? You can take that to the bank.
5:31 pm on March 17th, 2009
He’s going to walk and go commit the crime elsewhere and get put right back where he belongs for good.
5:40 pm on March 17th, 2009
this is an example of a broken legal system, and it makes me fucking sick. i completely understand how the family did not want to put the girl through any more pain, but it should not have had to come to that. 20 years probation is a fucking sick joke. that idiot judge should be censured for this.
this is what makes me so upset. he should be in prison now, he should not get the chance to have any other victims. i hope he does go to prison for something but unfortunately it probably won’t be for failing a drug test. i agree that this vile pedophile needs to get a proper beating(or many) and i would like to drive out to OK and beat the fuck out of him myself, but i don’t want end up with a long prison sentence like he should have gotten.
please refer to the paragraph above, i was being completely serious. yeah, it is a way to let out some of my rightful anger. but you know what? if i could go and kick his face in without getting in trouble, i’d do it.
no, i do not think we should get rid of the courts, but i would like to see them fixed. and i am not in favour of lynching or witch hunts either. however, this evil sack of shit rapist has no use in society, and if he was no longer in it, that would be a good thing. a dead pedo can’t have any more victims. is that harsh? maybe, but i have no sympathy for anyone who repeatedly raped a three year old.
5:52 pm on March 17th, 2009
Ty Abroad. My whole family could take up a whole week of Jerry Springer and never even scratch the surface, but that’s a rant for another day. I just hope that this perv gets caught violating his probation in some way that doesn’t involve another little girl getting hurt. And my dad was a fab guy–died in ‘99, but he was the glue that held our family together.
6:03 pm on March 17th, 2009
Im making my statement based on the fact this has never happened to me, so I dont mean to send out hurtful messages to those who have experienced this sort of situation. I think this is bullshit, that this isnt a broken court system but a lazy one and Justice is crying a shameful tear on this case. This is pathetic in so many ways that this child victim had no one seemingly fighting for her voice, for her pain, for her right to have her RAPIST suffer. Her family is rolling over and taking it- they need therapy too. I cant help but feel like she will have a long treacherous road to recovery with a family that feels it best to release this slimeball back to the streets. The next victim- because unless this guy meets his maker anytime soon, there will be one- and their family can thank these people, including every person who had a role in this so called trial. Excuse that theres not enough funding or something for a proper handling of cases like this is unacceptable…how can they promise such close monitoring of this POS??? Who was this guy to this family? How did he have so much access to her? Anyone know???
6:10 pm on March 17th, 2009
I agree, my concern would be for my child. Of course you think of other children and the potential of this monster inflicting pain on another child. But what do you do when bringing a pedo to justice means destroying your child further. I just couldn’t make my child relive that nightmare over and over.
But then your mind starts playing all the scenarios that may cause this asswipe to “accidently” stop breathing….this is tragic
6:33 pm on March 17th, 2009
Oh Vinny,can I call you Vinny?Don’t be scared lil buddy,let me help you get away from all this,after all you have gone through I bet guy like you needs a little va-k,well my husband and I would like to invite you on over to neck of the woods.We live on the Oregon coast and would just LOVE to take you deep sea fishing! Yep that’s right Vinny just for you!

6:53 pm on March 17th, 2009
Justice fails, huh? That’s when mommy or daddy waits a couple of years , gets a baseball bat and finds this POS alone in a dark alley and administers their own justice!
6:55 pm on March 17th, 2009
fatcatmamma, I am scared of you…lol
Just the reading it sent shivers down my spine… : )
7:37 pm on March 17th, 2009
i don’t have sympathy either, believe me. there’s no question he needs to be kept away from society for ever, and it’s extremely disturbing that he got away with no jail time. i don’t care how “harsh” the punishment is. nothing could be as harsh as what this child experienced.
however, i am trying to think of ways this situation could be improved/prevented in the real world as it is now, not an imaginary world ruled by Queen Biteme (with all due respect your highness lol). where would we begin to “fix” this?
How would this capital punishment ever be consistently meted out? who would you sentence to death? only convicted rapists? what about offenders convicted of “lascivious assault,” or someone convicted only of obscene communications with children? or someone convicted of stalking children in a playground? those are all very dangerous predators too… how can we decide who’s dangerous and/or worthless enough to be guillotined? only the marines can “kill em all and let God sort ‘em out.”
i don’t have answers – only questions. this is such a horrible case.
7:48 pm on March 17th, 2009
oops sorry i mean Queen Bizbub
your majesty
*bows graciously*
8:25 pm on March 17th, 2009
I’ve got a question, does this child have to actually “take the stand?” Can she be asked questions in a safe place to her? I do realize that everyone has the right to face their accuser, however, I’ve seen kids questioned elsewhere. There should be a law in these cases. She should testify ONCE on tape. It really makes me mad that this poor baby is raped again and again first by this asshole, then by the system.
9:05 pm on March 17th, 2009
That’s what I was thinking. We have all this technology–freakin tape the kid’s testimony, for godsake.
And does the family not know anyone who would take a ballbat to this asshole’s elbows and kneecaps for a small fee or for free? C’mon, I’m sure it couldn’t be that hard to find somebody to do it. Craigslist? Bulletin board? Girl Scouts? Somebody?
12:48 am on March 18th, 2009
Thanks ecumanzo,I do what I can! You know the sad thing is I really do not do that much crabbing or fishing but I do have all the things one would need and really the bay is like right there! The more I read the more it becomes clear, I must buy more crab rings! I have a feeling I am gonna be needing them for my new lil buddy’s.
8:39 am on March 18th, 2009
It might seem barbaric to some but I believe sex offenders should be castrated, especially when it comes to acts against children. This is one sure way we know that will inhibit them from using their disgusting private parts as weapons. Their hands on the other hand are a different issue. Maybe we could apply massive tattoos on the hands or forehead so we know who these people are when we come across them…….just an idea.
2:00 pm on March 18th, 2009
if this was my child, niece, nephew….etc………id be happy he walked so then i could kill the bastard my damn self!!!!!
