Pleading insanity isn't the cut-and-dry defense that you think it is. Plenty of autists and retards go to REAL prison, despite being recognized brainlets by the state. It's about whether or not the defendant was cognizant at the time of the crime, meaning were they aware of their actions and lucid when the crime was committed? In this case the answer appears to be yes, Chris was fully aware that he was forcing himself on Barb and then went on to brag about it. That doesn't sound like a slamdunk insanity plea to me.
Yeah, Chris is crazy but not legally crazy. He understands the difference between right and wrong. He took steps to cover up his crime (so, so, so poorly). That all looks like a full meal for prosecutors.
 
If this does go to trial, I wonder if there will be detailed news coverage of the trial. You know -- day-by-day coverage rather than just an article when proceedings begin and then another article once a verdict and sentencing is determined.
 
Law in Question:

18.2-366. Sexual intercourse by persons forbidden to marry; incest; penalties.​

A. Any person who engages in sexual intercourse with any person whom he is forbidden by law to marry is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor except as provided by subsection B.

B. Any person who engages in sexual intercourse with his daughter or granddaughter, son or grandson, or father or mother is guilty of a Class 5 felony. However, if a parent or grandparent engages in sexual intercourse with his child or grandchild, and such child or grandchild is at least 13 years of age but less than 18 years of age at the time of the offense, such parent or grandparent is guilty of a Class 3 felony.

C. For the purposes of this section, parent includes stepparent, grandparent includes step-grandparent, child includes a stepchild, and grandchild includes a step-grandchild.

It's a felony at the minimum.
 
You can't see them, they are pending. But given the circumstances, that means he's getting pinched for something more than just the incest. It could be a violation of the EPO, but if that were the only additional charge then I think that it would have already happened. That pretty much only leaves rape.
Elderly abuse?
