Robert H Richards IV

Richards is the great grandson of du Pont family patriarch Irenee du Pont, a chemical baron. He admitted to assaulting his infant son in addition to his daughter between 2005 and 2007. Richards was initially indicted on two counts of second-degree child rape, felonies that translate to a 10-year mandatory jail sentence per count. He was released on $60,000 bail while awaiting his charges. Richards hired one of the state's top law firms and was offered a plea deal of one count of fourth-degree rape charges -- which carries no mandatory minimum prison sentencing. He accepted, and admitted to the assault. In her sentence, Jurden said he would benefit from participating in a sex offenders rehabilitation program rather than serving prison time.
