Rapist chooses castration over life in jail

Anonymous User writes "A man who admitted raping two young girls in the US has agreed to be castrated to avoid serving a life prison sentence.

Excerpt:

Keith Raymond Fremin, 42, accepted a 25-year sentence without parole for molesting the two sisters, who were 11 and 13 at the time of the attacks in 1999.

Judge Donald Fendlason, in the Louisiana court, said he would revoke the lighter sentence if Fremin does not undergo the surgery by August 18.

The victims, now 17 and 19, were in court yesterday and agreed to the plea deal."

Ed note: I debated with myself about posting this but then thought about the "what if" situation had the confessed rapist been female and the victims boys. Would the judge have 1) sentenced her to life in jail and 2) offered an ovariectomy to the woman in exchange for imposing a lesser sentence?
