I am one of this guys xs I had a daughter by him that passed away on March 12,2009 she did not know this man and he did not know of her simply because I know he did this I was sexually assaulted by a friend of kenneths on the 1st he tried talking me into believing I had everything wrong about this man I have been following this case since day 1 I KNOW HE DID IT why else would I not allow my daugter to know him it was to protect her this man could get the death penalty for all I care if he really was a good man and cared about his kids he wouldnt have done the things he has done hes a repeted offender he belongs where he is at RIP F.N.E.F

I work with one of the victims, and am good friends with that victims sister. I believe that accountability needs to come into play regarding this article. I was well aware of this story long before the article came out and my personal opinion is that the Janesville Gazette should have stepped in and stopped this article from ever hitting the press. I think that it is disgusting to try to justify a rapist's thought process, or reasons for commiting such a horrible crime. I was also a victim of childhood abuse, and had many dark times as a teen, but It has never in crossed my mind to commit any type of sex crime, or mugging. For the Gazette to try to spin this story into the attacker's favor is poor judgement on the part of it's staff, and editors. I still feel that this article should be pulled from Gazette archives. I for one, am outraged that the article's focal point wasn't on the families that suffered, and the countless hours of counseling and healing required for the families to move forward after such an awful event took place. Shame on your Janesville Gazette. It may be in your best interest to sell newspapers, and maybe this is how you feel you can accomplish such a feat, but I think your total disregard for the real victims, is repulsive!!!!

First of all, as one of the victims sister, I would just like to say that, the way this article half way made this creep out to be part victim was, for lack of a better word, hurtful!!!! As I watch my brother struggle with not only the decisions he made the night of the attack, but also with having to worry about what kind of sentence is going to be passed, I watch in worry. My little brother has been scarred because of this! He used to be carefree and vibrant. Now he's scared to go out at night!!! This attack happened blocks away from his own flippin house!!! What happened to being safe in your own neighborhood??? As the family, we watch all the little adjustments that these kids have had to make in their life because of this attack!! And may I just add, this man has been arrested 30 something times!!!!!! How in the hell was he able to even be on the streets to do this crime??? Our system is slipping and is to caught up in paper work!!! As this mans face is plastered in the paper and I read that he is remorseful, that's a bunch of B.S. The only thing that this man is sorry for, is the fact that he got caught!!! I hope that he dies a slow torturous death in prison and doesn't even make it to extended supervision!! And, a note to the family of this criminal, If he was such a great dad, he wouldn't have raped a 14 year old little girl. If he was such a good man, he wouldn't have robbed a child for $18. Yeah, that's right, I said $18. $18 and a little girls innocence and he's a good man???? Get the heck out of here!! You people that defend this sick freak are all enablers!!!! And Grandma, you are just as sick if you would want him to be around your grandchild after he RAPED a 14 year old little girl!!!! This sentence was never enough time and it will never bring back all that these kids have had to go thru at the hand of this psyco!!

Please I am so sick of people using the poor black man excuse and the broken home excuse! He knew right from wrong he chose to live his life like a criminal and now he can serve his time like a criminal. There are plenty of people who have grown up in similar conditions and have become productive law abiding citizens. White, Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, whatever, stop using the color of a persons skin for the pitty party.

Panamared,How about a speeding drunk driver killing a pedestrion,recieving 30 days in jail,2 yrs.house (allowed to travel for work)arrest? He did pay (undisclosed)millions to family.Black,rich,professional athlete.Donte Stallworth-Cleveland Browns W.R. as reported by yahoo sports Wed.June 16th'09. I would call this a slap on the wrist.Money does "let you walk" no matter what color.Fortunately Jarrett could'nt pay his way out.To have 34 prior convictions He should never been out in the first place to commit these senseless acts.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, eh grandma?

panamared, I think the point in your post should be "a young man, who is admittedly a career criminal". I really don't think that race has anything to do with it. Was the white athlete a "career Criminal" as well? I think the result may have been the same if he was.

Hannah...point taken. Can I ask then, why wasn't there more outcry when that sentencing was carried out? Instead of comparing it to another separate incident. I'll leave with that.

ilovehockey... you made an understatement regarding granny.

Besides, regardless of other offenders, this sentence seems very apt for this particular event. So be carefull not to say things which might be subjective to the victims of this incident.

PanamaRed....I think it is a poor comparison, and subjective reasoning to say the least. The complete information would be neccessary to make this comparison, but would not be proper for these posts. Remember, there are different kinds of "rape", I don't know about this other example you are talking about, but it was probably much different incidental circumstances, and lets not forget Jarrett's horrible past behavior.

We need to stop propelling race into everything and just take it at face value. Besides, race is more often used as an excuse than it is an abuser-subject.

Good by Jarrett. Too bad someone will simply take your place. Wonder why he had still had females trying to maintain relationships with him, even after he was arrested. Guess his little girlfriends just didn't care about the other two victims, but then again, all of these creeps have people enabling their worthless lifestyles.
*
I said it on a previous post about this incident, and I'll will again....I hope these two young victims can heal from this. I'm sorry you were put through this.

Lets see, a young man rapes a girl that is not even 16 years old and he gets 39 days in jail OR gets to go home and wear a bracelet if the sheriff agrees. On the other hand you have a young man, who is admittedly a career criminal, that also rapes a girl younger than 16 years old and he receives 25 years in prison. Oh by the way, did I mention the first young man was an athlete and white and the second young man is poor and black. The circumstances surrounding both crimes are as different as the perpetrators, however, there seems to be quite a discrepancy in how these crimes were viewed. The case could be made punishment was not severe enough when the second young man committed his initial crimes. Was counseling offered to him? Is one act of rape less violent than another? I think anyone who rapes another individual should serve more than 39 days! As many of the comments on this page suggest, a perpetrators background or upbringing shouldn’t be used as an excuse. But I guess a young white athlete from a small community raised by a caring family gets a pass while a poor black youth raised by a dysfunctional, uncaring family pays the price. I'm not saying Mr. Jarrett does not deserve his punishment but the other young man seems to have gotten away with less than a slap on the wrist. Why?

As i looked at ccap there is a Jr Kenneth and a Sr born in 1955 i read it as this is the father, and there is quite a record for Sr, He looks like he was following in his fathers foot steps, the apple didnt fall far from the tree,
i just wonder if this was the first time for rape, how many young girls may have not reported it? My feelings go out to the those kids he assaulted, the boy always goning to wonder about what he may of done different as to help and
the girl is just gonna wonder why her.
He needs to be off the streets and should have been in prison sooner.
he may just get a taste of his own medicine in his new home ;) karma is a funny thing.

JaM1185, thanks for your insightful comment. Torturing animals, if true, is a common indicator of a sociopathic personality disorder. Such individuals often go on to become adult rapists and murderers. They basically have limited to nonexistent human capacity to care about anyone except themselves.

25 years of being beaten up and raped in prison .Plus 40 years after to think about it . Have fun creep .

“I’m deeply sorry and have remorse for the victims."
~
He is only sorry he got caught. It's amazing his family members are defending him and calling him a "good man" in light of what he did to those kids. Who are these people?

“No matter what circumstances you grew up with, you’re still responsible for what you do.”
******
EXACTLY. I wish we could all use our childhood and up bringing as an excuse in everyday life! <insert sarcasm here> Wow this guy is a REAL WINNER!

“Kenny is a good man. He just needs a little help. He’s a good dad.”
-
Good dads don't go to prison for armed robbery and rape.

Scum of the earth runes 2 lifes and spends maby 15 if we are lucky locked up? What is wrong with this world? I'm deeply sorry and have remorse for the victims? Then why did you continue to do it over and over again? There will be no little boys or girls where you are going and we can only all hope you spend the rest of you life rotting away in there. If that was my daughter you would probly rather spend the rest of your life in there because if and when you did get out it would be delt with how it should of ben in the first place. There is no room in this world for scum like you!

i was reading about this the other day and didn't even realize who this guy was until i seen his picture, i am 23, a year older then Kenny and i grew up across the street from him I'd say from the ages of 7 until around 13, he has a brother and a sister that i got along with great, his brother Terry was a good kid, had his little tempers but never hurt anyone, and his sister was one year older then me her name is Pleasure, very nice girl, manners, never mouthed off to anyone, but then i remember Kenny... i remember him throwing a rock right at my face at only 15 feet away, almost knocking one of my teeth out, even at that age he had PO's coming over once a week to check up on him and i remember him running out when they would pull up and pee on their car. torturing animals, i mean this kid obviously had something wrong with him, and I'm not going to defend him because after all the stuff he did, he is never going to change no matter how much he pleads his case, always going be lowlife scum that makes Janesville looks bad, I'm sure he wouldn't want anyone to hurt his kid, so why the hell act the way he does. I'm very happy hes going to prison, its the only place losers like that belong, actually they really don't even deserve to live. Have fun in hell Kenny, maybe a little KARMA will come to you while your in there.

another "brother" in trouble

We all feel better that he finally got a serious sentence, but look what it took to earn that "serious" sentence! 34 "priors" & FOUR FELONY CONVICTIONS = 25 years, & probably out in half that time? If someone had really gotten rough & "thrown away the key" after, say, only 25 prior convictions--that girl wouldn't have been raped. I hope some bleeding heart in our judicial system loses sleep over that fact!

when i was growing up i was beat and had it rough. i even did severals years in juvenile and eventually (thank god) they layed my ass in prison for 7 years i am now a productive member of society. the difference between kenny and myself is i was never a sexual predator. this is beyond just a criminal mentallity. the poor me crap i never used and never will. there is no saving this boy. he needs to be locked up until doctor can figure these sick people out. he is a repeat offender. he will never change and like all pediphiles he should never be free period. its the same as murder.

lawyer prep.

Hey everyone! I wonder when Biggirl will put her 2 cents in here defending this LOSER lol

I suppose Koepe and Hicke are good people to, and their victims are dead. Where's the justice for these?

Gotta love the burtal honesty that comes from Judge Daley!
.
Hannah: I thought the exact same thing....hmmm...Perry Folts was the prosecutor and there was no insulting plea bargaining. More than coincidence, I'm sure!

When he's not raping, robbing, beating or otherwise committing a plethera of criminal acts he's a good man. Of course the primary problem is that there isn't many times when he's not raping, robbing, beating or otherwise committing a plethera of criminal acts and being a good man. This guy has had his chances and he's failed to either learn to control himself and/or seek out the help he needs to learn. Society needs protection from this predator.

All you have to do is ccap Grandma and you'll see she's not such a prize either.

The grandmother obviously only sees one side of him. I think gmaof3 does have it -- he is following the only model he knows, right into state prison.

I dont really know who in this article needs more help-the loser criminal or grandma??? Listen Grandma, your grandson needs to be behind bars for life. ARE YOU KIDDING ME- GOOD MAN? Hmmm, I must have missed something.. What I read was convictions of RAPE, ROBBERY, BOMB THREATS...The list goes on in the tune of like 34 arrests... Wow, you are a complete FOOL in total denial to say such crap. Why dont you ask the grandmother of the MINOR that was raped by your pathetic grandson what she thinks about your completely insensitive WACKED out comment.. Toss this puke in jail for good!

So the grandmother Darlene Piche said Jarrett is a good man? Be a little objective lady you are just as messed up as he is. Also she said
“He would never harm his kids. He’s a good man,” Oh, I see he just harms other people's kids. His actions prove he is no man and definitely not good. He cannot be a good father based on his treatment of others. I think his child will be much better off without his poor influence. Stand up and take some responsibility don't blame it on your past. You have to be the one to break that cycle of abuse, crime, and addiction. How dare he play the victim, this case was about what he did to and stole from the teenagers not to determine if he is a good dad. Your childhood abuse should not have happned but it is not an excuse to go on a crime spree. One more thing granny he can get a lot of help while he is in prison.

Sorry but this guy should be dead, he gets mad at someone but takes it out on others? smaller others i'm betting.He's going where he belongs but do you really think he'll be any better when he gets out? I don't want this guy getting mad at someone and taking it out on maybe a family member of mine just cuz they might be smaller but have done nothing wrong to him.I think you can see he can't change, too bad but I see the facts ... let him pick on people he'll be living with now and see if he's "remorseful" I feel very sorry for what the 2 kids had happen to them .... I hope this guy gets his.

22 yrs young,AT LEAST 34 CONVECTIONS,yet "he's a nice man".Would shudder to know the label he would bear if he were "not a nice man".Why is it always society's fault??If your a jerk with $2.00,or a jerk with 2 million dolllars,Are you still not a jerk??

He's a "good man"? Seriously?
He needs to be confined so he can't hurt anyone else.
.
He doesn't know HOW to be a father... According to CCAP, he's the "spittin" image of his own Father. Great role model, eh?
.
Sorry, no more second chances fella!
