Three men jailed for the rape of a 14-year-old Utah girl who drifted in and out of awareness throughout the act– while recorded on video because the offenders believed “it was funny”– have actually been released on probation.
The Details of The Disgusting Crime
Richard Djassera, 26, Dodjim Leclair, 29, as well as Nasouh Albasis-Albasis, 24, were imprisoned in September 2017 after they each were charged with 2 counts of aggravated sexual assault, a first-degree felony, KSL-TV reported. Djassera also was charged with four counts of sexually exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony, the terminal said.

The station stated the 14-year-old target slipped out of a sleepover to meet with the three males, who took her to events where she got intoxicated, and then two of them raped her while she drifted in and out of awareness in a car. Djassera admitted to recording the rape on video since he “thought it was funny,” KTVX-TV reported.
An early KSL record kept in mind that cops in West Jordan said voices can be listened to on video “encouraging the assault.” Investigators created in court records that “at no time in the video does [the girl] appear capable of giving consent, given her obvious level of impairment,” the terminal included.
The Unconscionable Probation For Three Rapists
Third District Judge Douglas Hogan on Wednesday sentenced the triad to between one and 15 years behind bars but suspended the sentences for 48 months of probation, KSL said.
The inconceivably lenient sentences became part of plea bargains, the station stated, including that Djassera plead guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony, after attorneys argued there was no proof he engaged in sex with the target. Leclair as well as Albasis plead guilty to a reduced charge of rape, a second-degree felony, the KSL included.
All 3 were then released from jail, yet Djassera and also Leclair will be under the guardianship of U.S. Migration and Customs Enforcement to resolve their immigration standings, the terminal said, adding that a June hearing was called to deal with restitution and also probation.
Salt Lake County replacement area lawyer Samuel Sutton told KSL prosecutors worked carefully with the sufferer, adding that she sustained the plea deals. Sutton likewise informed the terminal that there was no evidence of any kind of force or threat yet included the lady was as well intoxicated to give authorization.
