Louisiana Convicted Rapist to Undergo Chemical Castration and Prison Sentence.

A Louisiana man, Ryan Clark, convicted of raping a girl under the age of 13, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison and chemical castration upon his release. He was also ordered to make no contact with the victim, register as a sex offender for life, and forfeit all his parental rights to any children. Chemical castration was made legal in Louisiana in 2008 as a sentencing for those found guilty of certain crimes, including molestation of a juvenile, aggravated rape, forcible rape, second-degree sexual battery, aggravated incest, and aggravated crime against nature.
