A WOMAN was left stunned as a judge gave her husband a suspended sentence for drugging and raping her and advised her to forgive him and get over it.

Mandy Broadman, of Indianapolis, testified that she found three videos on her now ex-husband David Wise's phone of the pair having sex which she did not remember participating in. She also said she woke up once with a pill dissolving in her mouth.

Broadman, who was married to Wise for 12 years and with whom she has two children, said she made copies of the videos but didn't take them to police until 2011 because he was sending threatening texts to her after their divorce.

A jury convicted Wise last month of one count of rape and five counts of criminal deviate conduct.

However despite the crimes punishable by six to 20 years in prison Marion Superior Judge Kurt Eisgruber gave Wise a suspended prison sentence and eight years home detention.

Broadman told the IndyStar that it was what the judge said while handing down the sentence that made her feel like she had been "sucker punched in the gut."

"The judge looked at me before he gave the final decision," she said. "I was told that I needed to forgive my attacker and move on. I received zero justice on Friday"

Marion County Deputy Prosecutor Courtney Curtis said the fact that Broadman was married to Wise should not discount the fact that he raped her.

"There is no difference when a woman knows her attacker and when she doesn't," Ms Curtis said. "I think it is important to remember that this crime is one that was committed in the home and so serving a home sentence in the home is not something this office would ever ask for."

Wise is fighting for shared custody of the couple's two children.

"He will continue to harass me and cause me as much pain in my life as he can," said Boardman, who has since remarried.
