this happen where white male felons almost always get off lightly. See, e.g., https://www.journalgazette.net/news/local/courts/20181013/judge-gives-man-40-years-for-rape

In the case in the link, the perpetrator was found guilty of the single rape of an adult woman with the "mental capacity of a kindergartner" by a jury. The same judge literally threw the book at him. Per the photo in the link, he does not appear to be a white male.

Of course, he also had a previous record that included two felonies.

But still, no time at all in prison for the first one, whose acts were continuing and ongoing for years and who was allowed to plead guilty to lesser charges?
