Advocate Dismayed By Work-Release Sentence For Rapist

BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – A former University of Colorado student who raped another student will not serve any time in prison.
This week a Boulder County judge went against prosecutors’ wishes for a harsher punishment and sentenced Austin Wilkerson to 20 years of probation.
Wilkerson, 22, will be put into a work release program at the Boulder County Jail. He will be able to go to school and work during the day and then must sleep at the jail at night.
