Thread: Judge gives rapist joint custody

That's just crazy, someone needs to get fired.


-A Sanilac County Circuit judge has granted parenting time and joint legal custody of an 8-year-old boy to a convicted sex offender who allegedly raped the child’s mother nine years ago.

Christopher Mirasolo, 27, of Brown City was awarded joint legal custody by Judge Gregory S. Ross after DNA testing established paternity of the child, according to the victim’s attorney, Rebecca Kiessling, who is seeking protection under the federal Rape Survivor Child Custody Act. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25.

The case, initially reported on “The Steve Gruber Show,” a Lansing-based radio program, is believed the first of its kind in Michigan and possibly the nation. According to the victim and Kiessling, it was prompted after the county surveyed the victim regarding child support she had received this past year.

This is insane,” said Kiessling, who filed objections Friday with Ross. “Nothing has been right about this since it was originally investigated. He was never properly charged and should still be sitting behind bars somewhere, but the system is victimizing my client, who was a child herself when this all happened...”

...According to Kiessling, Mirasolo forcibly raped and threatened to kill her client, now 21, nine years ago when the woman was 12. Mirasolo was 18 when the incident occurred in September 2008.

...While the assault potentially carried a penalty of life or any term of years but not less than 25 years, Mirasolo was given a plea deal by the Sanilac County Prosecutor’s Office for attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Mirasolo was sentenced to one year in the county jail but only served six and a half months before early release so he could care for his sick mother, Kiessling said.

In March 2010, Mirasolo committed a sex assault on a victim between the ages of 13 and 15 years old. He served only four years for that second offense, Kiessling said...

what's right is wrong, and what's wrong is right.

getting more and more distinct, isn't it?

Absolutely insane.

Terrible injustice to this victim...

Wrong on so many levels.

Judge who awarded Michigan rapist joint custody with the woman he raped as a child had other options

So, why did Judge Ross do this? Why did he give Mirasolo the phone number and address of the woman he raped without her consent? Why did he award joint custody, something Mirasolo himself claims he never sought, when the law specifically says he didn’t have to? In fact, did Judge Ross actually VIOLATE THE LAW in doing so? After all, the law says, “if a child custody dispute involves a child who is conceived as the result of acts for which 1 of the child’s biological parents is convicted of criminal sexual … or is found by clear and convincing evidence in a fact-finding hearing to have committed acts of nonconsensual sexual penetration, the court shall not award custody to that biological parent.”

The phrase “shall not” suggests he DID violate the law.

Because she received social services this year and they try to go after the absconder for reimbursement. They need him to be on the birth certificate to do this. It all comes down to money and no one cares about the children.

State officials also told WXYZ the Sanilac County Prosecutor’s Office had a duty to inform the judge the background.

The prosecutor has not returned a call seeking comment.

Wow...So it would appear the prosecutors office dropped the ball here....glad to hear it....any judge who would knowingly do something like this would have to be very twisted....

Child custody to convicted rapist reversed by judge

(WJBK) - It is a story that made national headlines - a convicted pedophile was awarded partial custody of a child born after he raped a 12-year-old girl.

But on Tuesday came a ruling to rectify that...
