Light jail sentence
In 2014, Robert H. Richards IV, after being convicted of raping his three-year-old daughter, only faced probation after a state Superior Court judge ruled he "will not fare well" in prison.

Richards, who was charged with fourth-degree rape in 2009, is an unemployed heir living off his trust fund. Richards is the great grandson of du Pont family patriarch Irénée du Pont . The light sentence only became public as the result of a subsequent lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, which charges that he penetrated his daughter with his fingers while masturbating, and subsequently assaulted his son as well. According to the lawsuit filed by Richards' ex-wife, he admitted to assaulting his infant son in addition to his daughter between 2005 and 2007. Richards was initially indicted on two counts of second-degree child rape, felonies that translate to a 10-year mandatory jail sentence per count.[3]
