Kirk's own description of Roloff is perhaps the most colorful.
"Mr. Roloff," said the judge at a sentencing last November, "I don't have much positive to say about you, and I will be very honest with you. I think you are a dumb, stupid, peckerhead chump."
"You're the unofficial city of Waupaca town pump or, as Deuce Bigalow coined, you're a man whore."
Actually, he was something worse. Roloff was charged with nine felonies and eight misdemeanors ranging from second-degree sexual assault of a child to child sexual exploitation to child enticement to having sex with a child 16 or older. There were so many counts because there were so many girls.
All of the felonies and three of the misdemeanors stem from what occurred on a school day in April of 2005. Four girls - ages 18, 17, 15 and 14 - skipped school that day, stopped at the 17-year-old's house to pick up a camcorder, met Roloff at a gas station and then walked to his house.
Roloff was accused of doing all sorts of things that day and eventually pleaded no contest to several of them.
He had intercourse with the 17-year-old. He had intercourse with the 15-year-old. Much of what happened was videotaped, which is a felony in and of itself. The judge himself noted the sex was unprotected.
Much of the complaint was dismissed in the plea bargain, but the 18-year-old told police that Roloff asked both her and the 14-year-old if they also wanted to do it, which they didn't. She said much of what happened was in the open and, she said, the 14-year-old at one point pushed her into the bathroom, where she witnessed enough depravity to vomit. That, she said, was when everybody laughed at her.
The charges weren't limited to just that day. Roloff also pleaded no contest to, when he was 18 or 19, having intercourse with a totally different girl who was then 16; and to, when he was 19, having intercourse with yet another girl who was then 17.
It's a case of the last man in the world you'd ever want anywhere near your daughter. And that, right there, is the crux of the problem with what is a truly baffling sentence, especially coming from a judge who seems to realize, at least to some extent, this guy is more than just a chucklehead.
At the initial sentencing, Kirk basically gave Roloff jail time for the misdemeanors and put him on probation.
He refused, however, to impose a sentence for the felonies because he didn't want the poor fella to end up on the registry of sex offenders.
He, according to a transcript of the November sentencing that I will share in further detail on Monday, doesn't seem to think there were victims. Despite the age disparities.
Snider's office immediately asked the judge to do his job and sentence Roloff for the all crimes of which he was convicted.
And the judge recently did. He conceded that, well yes, the man should be on the registry - but not until the year 2105. By then, of course, we'll all be dead.
