On Friday, Wise, 52, was found guilty of repeatedly drugging and raping his ex-wife, Mandy Boardman, while she was sleeping in their Indianapolis home, and filming it on his cell phone. He was convicted of one count of rape and five felony counts of criminal deviate conduct. After fighting a three-year legal battle, Boardman felt like her attacker finally got what he deserved. Then she heard Wise’s sentence.
The Marion County Clerk’s Office confirmed to BuzzFeed that Judge Kurt Eisgruber handed Wise a sentence of 10 years of home detention with two years suspended and two years of probation for rape. During his house arrest he will be only be allowed to travel between his work and home.
First of all, this is a messed up situation for a myriad of reasons. The couple apparently are divorced (I guess) but still live in the same house. What up with that???? I think they R still messing around when it convenient to whom ever, but hey who am I right? This topic really had me thinking, so I searched the web and what do you know, this raping the wife thing is really common. I never thought of a man being able to rape his wife when you consider what it says in the Bible at (1 Corinthians 7:4)......
The wife does not have authority over her own body, but her husband does; likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but his wife does. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent for an appointed time, so that you may devote time to prayer and may come together again, in order that Satan may not keep tempting you for your lack of self-control.
That scripture basically acknowledges that married people were not created to use sex as a weapon! Intimacy is an expression of love between a couple and a reason expectation for the pair. Of course, a loving partner takes his mate's feelings into consideration, but over all the love or the respect of the commitment should be paramount. The ironic thing about this raping of the spouse thing seems to only work one way. If the woman takes what she wants from man then its o.k, right? Wardy calls this a double standard. If one can't do it the other shouldn't either. I mean , what's next, a couple can sue the other if one goes out and spend the rent money on a new flat screen LCD TV? How far can this thing go. I realize that the couple in question may not be married and that does pose a unique twist to the story, but why they shacking up like they are married? Must be hard out here in the streets that a jacked up economy got divorced people staying together to split that rent bill!
There are so many ways one can go with this story, but at the end of the day everyone is gonna have their own views of what is right and wrong. I just happen to think that if a man has relations with his wife, then that's what he/she signed up for 4 life. If you not married and someone forces you to have sex and you didn't know that is a situation for the law. I just want to know why that person feels comfortable enough around you to make that move?
I wonder have far this story would have got if the man claimed the woman had been having sex with him and he didn't know for years. What if she got pregnant, would he have to pay child support and would she go to jail. I think we all know those answers.
Bottom line, live by yourself if you worried about get raped by your strange looking roomate!
I am Ward....
