There’s outrage over a Michigan judge's decision granting a convicted sex offender parental rights to a child born as a result of raping the child's mother.
Twenty-seven-year-old Christopher Mirasolo was awarded joint custody of the 8-year-old boy he fathered by sexually assaulting a then 12-year-old girl.
Sanilac County Judge Gregory Ross made the decision late last month, after DNA testing established the child's paternity.
The now 21-year-old victim's attorney is seeking protection for both the woman and her child under the federal rape survivor child custody act.
