Husband Gets 2 Years For Making Wife Sign Slave Contract
[su_right_ad]He made his wife sign it in blood, but gets only 2 years and a year of probation because the victim backed off some of her statements.
Kenneth Harden had faced decades in prison if he had been convicted of rape, criminal deviate conduct, battery resulting in serious bodily injury, intimidation, strangulation, domestic battery and criminal confinement.
But the 33-year-old Harden agreed to plead guilty to criminal confinement after his wife recanted her earlier accusations,reported the Indianapolis Star.
“The victim’s deposition was not consistent with her original police report,” said Jackson County Prosecutor AmyMarie Travis. “It became clear to the state of Indiana that it was proper to offer a negotiated plea agreement that we offered.”
Victims of domestic violence and sex abuse often withdraw their statements in fear of retaliation or due to the power imbalance in their relationships, experts say.
