If I was that girl’s father, he’d better pray he stayed in prison until I was dead and gone.

This is so awful! And I pray for the young girl involved, plus her parents. Castrate and put them in jail for life.

Sit him in a big pot of acid and let him feel the pain of his ass and other nearby parts being eaten completely off. Either way he deserves to die.
