all this is assuming that the jury has already decided the person is guilty
and is trying to further determine what the punishment should be... 

I dont consider parole viable, since I think that ray frank would force
the guy to jump parole immediately, and so be out again raping. I would
make sure he went to jail for a while... at least long enough for there to
be a possibility for the female to  have gotten over the effects/lived them
down. 

I guess the answer is yes, tho I am coming to the conclusion that either
the question is poorly formed or I am too asleep to parse it...

>What if the penalty was $500 and a week in jail?

I would personally kill the person... that is of the nature of a slap on
the wrist. If that was all that would be done I would suggest he get tried
for whatever assault he did and get jailed for that!!! 

bloody useless penalties...
