US concertmaster gets 15-30 for child rape

US concertmaster gets 15-30 for child rape

After a plea deal that got him out of a possible life sentence Odin Rathnam, former concertmaster of the Harrisburg Symphony in Pennsylvania, was sentenced to 15 to 30 years in state prison for repeated rapes of a child over 11 years. The victim required multiple surgeries to repair the damage.

Rathnam, 59, is a former New Yorker who studied at Juilliard.

The victim’s mother told him: ‘You wanted to be idolized — to be the best violinist in the world. But guess what — you finally made it in The Strad magazine. Not for being a musician, but for being a child rapist.’
