The 33-year-old Moscow man was sentenced to a minimum of five years and maximum of 10 years in prison, with retained jurisdiction, by Judge John Stegner. He must also register as a sex offender.

Upon completion he will either be ordered to complete the full prison term or be released on to probation, depending on his performance in the program.” Moscow Pullmand Daily News,</span><span class="MsoHyperlink"> </span><span class="fn"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Samantha Malott,</span> </span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> 4-26-16. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Thank you Samatha Mallot and the Daily News for keeping us informed about courthouse news. Without your commitment to report on crimes that impact vulnerable members of our community it would be very difficult for us to learn about them. I hope that your articles encourage readers to stop by the courthouse themselves and watch the legal process unfold. To check on the time and date of hearings and trials go to the Idaho Repository <a href="https://www.idcourts.us/repository/start.do">https://www.idcourts.us/repository/start.do</a> and follow the directions to lcheck the court schedule for the person that you are interested in following. It also provides a convenient way to check on the criminal history of the defendant. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Personally, I don’t give a hoot how Hernandez-Nunez performs while in a six month treatment program. This feckless git needs to be in prison for the duration of his ten year sentence. Does anyone think that “treatment” (whatever that means) in a controlled environment has a significant probability of preventing future acts of violence against children? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Rose Huskey<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif""> <a href="mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com">vision2020-bounces@moscow.com</a> [<a href="mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com">mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Saundra Lund<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, April 27, 2016 12:36 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'Moscow Vision 2020'<br><b>Subject:</b> [Vision2020] Stegner Light on Sex Offender AGAIN<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">Visionaries:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">I'd like to know when Idaho in general and Latah County specifically decided that we wanted to be a <b>sex offender friendly</b> place where an astonishing number of those who irreparably harm our children don’t go to prison?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">A friend sent me the article below, which was in yesterday’s Daily News, and words do not adequately convey my absolute fury that Judge Stegner has -- once again -- sentenced a sex offender to a light sentence. In this case, a 31-year-old man who raped a 12-year-old little girl will spend no real time in prison assuming he's able to successfully game the Rider program, which doesn't seem to be much of a challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">If someone like this doesn't deserve real prison time, then we need to reassess what the heck is going on, IMO. It looks like in January 2016, those convicted of sex crimes filled about 25% of our prison beds (vs 20% convicted of property crimes, 17% for drug offenses, and 4% for alcohol crimes).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m also confused about exactly what “about six month” program Hernandez-Nunez will be participating in because the last I knew, Idaho had only two Rider programs: the 90-day CAPP (Correction Alternative Placement Program) and the 120-day Traditional Rider Program. For those not aware, Idaho <b>used</b> to have a third Rider Program: a 280-day TC (Therapeutic Community) Rider Program, but we got rid of it last September, IIRC, because – what a shock – it didn’t work and was negatively impacting the state’s recidivism rates.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am also shocked and disturbed to see that Judge Stegner seems to subscribe to “Greyhound” justice (telling the convict he can’t live in Latah County while on probation) without regard to the constitutionality while just a few months ago he went out of his way to make parental consent last for the rest of their lives for Steven Sitler’s victims who are no longer minors. And, let’s not forget that also not too long ago, he also ended another sex offender’s (Andrew Appleton) probation early and gave permission for Appleton to not only relocate to another country, but -- against the survivor’s express wishes -- to the precise area where Appleton’s survivor fled </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">L</span><span style="color:#1F497D"> One can’t help but wonder about the motives of such seemingly incongruent positions by Judge Stegner.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">Throughout my years of observing the criminal justice system in Latah County, a very concerning theme I’ve seen is that in crimes against persons – women, children, the elderly especially – sentencing is too often unacceptably light. In the sentencing balancing act, the notion of rehabilitation is important, but so, too, are things like reparation, safety, deterrence, proportionality, and even punishment; Judge Stegner seems to have forgotten all about the later while focusing only on the former (rehabilitation).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D">Whether he realizes it or not – or wants to accept the reality or not – Judge Stegner’s notoriously light sentencing in crimes against people acts as a deterrent to victims’ reporting crimes and survivors’ willingness to cooperate with the justice system. And I, for one, don’t blame survivors for opting out given the ridiculously light sentences offenders in Latah County are likely to receive, which revictimizes the survivors and their loved ones. Survivors and those who care about them speak out on the Internet and on social media, and Judge Stegner’s reputation isn’t good in that Latah County population </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D">L</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Saundra Lund<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Moscow, ID<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Moscow man sentenced for rape of minor <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Victim, family share struggles, shame they have since faced<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Posted: Tuesday, April 26, 2016 12:00 am<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">By Samantha Malott, Daily News staff writer<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">Adrian Hernandez-Nunez was sentenced to a period of retained jurisdiction Monday morning in Latah County 2nd District Court after pleading guilty to raping a then-12-year-old girl in November 2014.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">The 33-year-old Moscow man was sentenced to a minimum of five years and maximum of 10 years in prison, with retained jurisdiction, by Judge John Stegner.

Stegner said an additional requirement in the agreement, that Hernandez-Nunez cannot live in Latah County while on probation, will have to be further researched as to its constitutionality. Hernandez-Nunez's co-defense attorney, James Johnson, said Hernandez-Nunez entered into the agreement in "good faith" and will follow through on moving out of the county while on probation, regardless if it is ordered or not.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">The now 14-year-old victim said during a preliminary hearing in December that she engaged in sexual intercourse with the then 31-year-old man inside his former home.
