Du Pont heir never completed court-ordered treatment after conviction for daughter’s rape
An heir to the DuPont chemical fortune who was convicted of raping his daughter did not attend the court-mandated sex offender treatment program that enabled him to avoid jail time. Delaware online reported Thursday that Robert H. Richards IV was ordered in February of 2009 to report to an inpatient psychiatric program at MacLean Hospital in Massachusetts, but court records show that he never arrived at the clinic.
Jurden made the recommendation in part, she said, because the wealthy Richards — who is the great grandson of the industrialist family’s patriarch, Irenée du Pont and the son of Robert H. Richards III, a wealthy attorney — purportedly “would not fare well” in prison. She agreed that he be given probation on the condition that he attend the intensive program in Boston.

Yeah because we all know what happens to rapists in prison.
