If so, he's going away for a long, long, looooooong time (if found guilty of course). Or do you mean third degree rape? Or do you mean third degree rape of a child? Your question does not have enough facts.
   
   There will be no death penalty.
   
   He won't be "set free on bail." He will have bail imposed, in an amount commensurate with the crime and his criminal history.

However, the state of Washington as a two strikes and you are out law which may mandate life sentence for multiple sex convictions depending on the nature and degree of the convictions.
