Judge Gives 60 Days For Repeated Sexual Assault On Girl

Officials Call Man Low Risk For Repeat

UPDATED: 2:29 pm CST January 5, 2006

A Williston, Vt., man who admitted to repeatedly raping a young girl will spend two months behind bars.

Mark Hulett, 34, will spend 60 days in prison for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl for the last four years, Burlington television station WPTZ reported.

When he pleaded guilty in August to two counts of aggravated sexual assault and one charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, Hulett faced up to life in prison on the charges. But the state Corrections Department determined that Hulett was a low risk for committing a similar crime, and said it would not offer sex-offender treatment while he was in prison.

Judge Edward Cashman defended his sentence, saying it was the only way to provide counseling for the Hulett. Cashman's sentence could incarcerate Hulett for the rest of his life if he fails to obtain counseling once he is freed.

The victim's family said the sentence is just a slap on the wrist.
