A Louisiana judge has sentenced a man to physical castration after pleading guilty to raping a 14-year-old girl.
On April 17, District Attorney Scott Perrilloux said Glenn Sullivan, 54, was sentenced after pleading guilty to four counts of second-degree rape.
Louisiana Judge William Dykes on Monday sentenced Sullivan to be physically castrated along with serving a 50-year prison sentence.
Assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio told the press:
“I’ve had three people ordered to be chemically castrated, but, to my knowledge, this is the first physical castration to be ordered.”
Louisana enacted a law in 2008 that ordered convicted pedophiles to be castrated chemically or physically.
Dykes sentenced Sullivan to 50 years in prison and mandated him to be physically castrated as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
The lead prosecutor of the case, Assistant District Attorney Brad J. Cascio, said:
“I intend on using every tool the legislature is willing to give us, including physical castration, to seek justice for the children in our community.”

Per CBS News:
Glenn Sullivan Sr., 54, pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape on April 17. Authorities began investigating Sullivan in July 2022, when a young woman told the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office that Sullivan had assaulted her multiple times when she was 14.
The assaults resulted in pregnancy, and a DNA test confirmed that Sullivan was the father of the child, the district attorney’s office said.
Sullivan had also groomed the victim and threatened her and her family to prevent her from coming forward.
