When a du Pont heir admitted in court to raping a child—and walked out a free man: by DenizCam
Dark Capital is a series that explores the intersection of business, wealth and crime. It’s featured on Sundays.n February 6, 2009, Robert Richards admitted to raping his 3-year-old daughter. “I feel horrible,” he told the judge, according to court documents. “There’s no excuse for what I’ve done to her.”
Burg immediately told her daughter about what she was learned, and the two contacted a doctor and the Child Abuse Hotline. Richards was eventually arrested on charges that he had been abusing his daughter since she was about 3 years old. In June 2008, Richards pleaded guilty. But after a year of treatment, Richards’ sex offender counselor thought the multimillionaire was making little progress and wasn’t disclosing enough of his sexual history to effectively work through his problems, according to the same probation report. Richards’ counselor recommended a polygraph examination, and the results suggested Richards may have raped his younger son, too.
