I completely agree with you, with two caveats: I am not against the father in any way. If he was in contempt of court, so be it. A couple of hours in the courtroom lockup remedies that. Also, we don't know what he said. The news piece only says that he admitted to saying something inflammatory, was given six months in jail for contempt of court, and then started screaming at and insulting the judge, who then doubled the sentence.
None of this is good for the victim, which should be the sole focus for our court system in this case. Sending her father away for a year whilst simultaneously dropping two of the more serious felonies against her attacker---not good for the girl. At least the man will be tried for lewd molestation of a child under 12.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
