A Kentucky judge sentenced a convicted sex offender to 30 years in prison after a jury recommended 65 years.
Christopher Thompson, 24, showed zero remorse throughout his sentencing hearing and hurled profanities at the court. He told the prosecutor he would “see you in 20 years, b****,” according to WAVE3. Thompson openly mocked the victim during the Feb. 2 proceeding. (RELATED: California Serial Rapist Sentenced To 900 Years In Prison May See Light Of Day With New Laws)
“I don’t have sympathy for nobody,” Thompson said. “I don’t have sympathy for you, the victim, the victim’s family. I don’t care. Boohoo.”
Thompson was convicted in December of kidnapping, robbery, sodomy and sexual abuse, according to WDRB. In July 2023, he wore a ski mask and forced a woman into her own vehicle at gunpoint in south Louisville. He drove her to an elementary school parking lot and sexually assaulted her. He then took her to an ATM and made her withdraw cash before returning to the school and assaulting her again.
This is the judge who just cut a convicted and unrepentant rapist’s sentence in half explicitly because he’s black. Her handle is literally “Diversity Davis” and she has her pronouns listed. Beyond parody. There should be a civil rights investigation launched into this ridiculous… pic.twitter.com/7ggAIfCixr

Thompson had a juvenile record that included theft and robbery. He also had prior convictions that included felony gun possession and a probation violation, WDRB reported. He faces a separate charge for allegedly choking a corrections officer in December while awaiting sentencing, according to WHAS11.
Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Tracy Davis cut the jury‘s recommendation by more than half. She said Thompson “fell through the cracks” and deserved a chance at rehabilitation because his brain had not fully developed. Davis added roughly four years to Thompson’s sentence for his courtroom outbursts. He will be eligible for parole after serving 20 years.
Louisville Metro Council Republicans held a press conference to criticize the ruling, WHAS11 reported. Minority Caucus Chair Anthony Piagentini called the decision “an assault on Kentucky’s justice system.”
“Where is the concern for the victim? Do we think she’s going to get over this in 30 years?” Piagentini said.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerina Whethers said her office was “disappointed” with the sentence, according to WDRB.
