A New York man was sentenced to 10 years probation but no prison time after pleading guilty to raping a 14-year-old girl he met while driving a school bus. The judge in the case defended his controversial ruling by pointing out that Piche had only raped one girl, rather than multiple. Shane Piche reportedly met the victim through his job as a school bus driver in Watertown City School District in upstate New York last year. Last week, Piche was sentenced to 10 years probation and designated a Level 1 sex offender by Judge James P. McClusky. Piche will have to pay fines including $375 in court fees and $1,000 in sex offender registration fees.
