A Louisiana man was sentenced to 50 years in prison and physical castration after admitting on Wednesday to impregnating and repeatedly raping a 14-year-old girl.
The victim went to authorities in 2022, claiming Glenn Sullivan Sr., 54, had raped her multiple times when she was 14 and impregnated her as a result. DNA testing confirmed Sullivan fathered the girl’s child — which also corroborated the rape, according to WBRZ.
Investigators said that Sullivan threatened to harm the victim and her family if she told about the sexual assaults.
In certain cases, convicted rapists in Louisiana can be sentenced to chemical castration or physical castration — the latter entails having the testicles surgically removed. Sullivan opted for physical castration, but as reported by WBRZ, the procedure would not be performed until right before his release from prison.
Prosecuting Assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio said, “Sex crimes against juveniles are the most malicious crimes we prosecute. I intend on using every tool the legislature is willing to give us, including physical castration, to seek justice for the children in our community.”
