SANDUSKY, Mich. — A Michigan judge has ordered that a rapist will not have custody or parental rightsto the boy he fathered with a 12-year-old girl nine years ago.
Sanilac County Judge Gregory Ross had signed a paternity order on Sept. 22 naming Christopher Mirasolo as the father of the boy. Mirasolo was ordered to pay child support and was granted joint custody and parenting time. (It's also been reported that this judge also demanded the mother move back to the state from Florida and released the rape victim's current address)
When it became public the boy was conceived through rape, public outcry was widespread. About 100 people gathered on the courthouse lawn in protest Tuesday.
In his decision rescinding the order, which he read in court Tuesday, Ross wrote: "The question that everyone is asking is 'How could a judge do such a thing?'
"The answer is that this judge was not aware, did not have knowledge of the fact that the defendant raped the plaintiff and the child was born as a result."
