"She has the mind of a child!"
"She's curious about her sexuality!"
Yeah a harsh truth is, children do get curious about their sexuality, some earlier than others, that doesn't make it fucking okay
I know it's a show but there are people who actually make these arguments
some RED STATES
just made marrying children
LEGAL
Yeah we can’t hide stuff like this from them forever as children to grow up to be adults
@@ArkhamKnight-uj6ww
So exploit ppl who have a mind of a child that doesn't understand what consent means?
@@privatecaboose250 oh sorry I hadn’t watched it fully yet
I work in this community and let me tell you trying to get the people you support to understand their sexuality is very difficult but it's even more difficult to explain to them about inappropriate sexual experience especially when they can't talk or can't react like a typical person
Seeing her struggle with describing being raped and taken advantage of is so heart breaking. Whoever the actress is really did a good job of portraying such a character.
@@LoveShackSarah88 exactly I liked her in the show& she was STUNNING... but I think she changed sooo much , in only 3 years.look how different she is ( I read it's 1998 ,this one).
@@sarahm7086 Oh my God. That's why it's called ACTING. Anyone can be anyone. She did a great job. 🤦🏾♀️
Your comment is not frustrating or unexpected just disappointing it just shows the level of woke ideology in today's society and you would be the type of person who would enable or participate in this type of crime l@@sarahm7086
@@sarahm7086 I'm fairly certain that if they gotten an adult actress with the mind of a child, she wouldn't have been able to act the scene as well as Lauren did.
RAIN: I disagree. A real retarded person DOES NOT behave like she did. She was not well trained for this type of role.
"They told me not to say anything to anybody...sorry." The fact she showed remorse for being a snitch while the three men spared no quarter in taking her innocence.
I agree; it wasn't even her fault that they did what they did. She was just being obedient because that's what she knows; if someone tells her to do something, she's going to do it because she was told to. I am so angry at those boys; they need to go to prison; maybe the inmates will teach them their lesson!

A case like this happened in my town awhile back, a girl was sexually assaulted, and the judge dismissed the case at trial, and the judge took a lot of heat over it, he was stripped of his position, and had his law license revoked.
Glad that judge was fired
Do judges need law licenses? I thought they were elected and this only need to be dismissed….
@@59master60 Good. He Was Stripped Of Everything He Has.
Were You Stripped Of Everything You Has? Thanks
I wear diapers
One of the best, if disturbing, episodes. I think the judge said enough to constitute an ethics violation, for instance saying the girl "had the time of her life".
yeah I don't think an actual judge would say that
how can anyone even call him "your HONOR" after saying and believing such vile things! I puked in my mouth watching this, and it makes me want to stab myself in the eye. Or crush the balls of every man who would side with the defendants with a giant gavel and watch them eat it unseasoned... I can't decide.
I also don’t think that the judge themselves would unilaterally ask the defense if they’d like to motion for a mistrial/dismissal ~AFTER~ a jury reached a verdict. That’s something that a good lawyer would’ve requested prior to a jury going to discuss the final verdict
I always thought that once a verdict was reached that the appeals process began (if sought); in a different courtroom with a difference judge on a different date… not in front of the jury 5 seconds after the verdict was read and instantly granted after being lead by the judge of the trial, lol
I think that this judged should be disbarred and convicted for official corruption, but the cold reality is that officials like him do exist and that they can get away with these crimes. I remember when a teenager with autism was shot mercilessly by the police and yet I haven’t heard anything about them being punished. Not only does it prove that there is no true justice, but that the meak will not inherit the earth.
I agree it is gross and disgusting
"Did you enjoy it?"
"What were you wearing?"
Absolutely disgusting
Exactly
A) She said yes.
B) She admitted she would wear skimpy clothes to intentionally get the attention of the boys.
You are trying to imply that the boys forced themselves on her and are using her clothes as an excuse, but in this specific instance her clothes BY HER OWN ADMISSION was relevant.
@@InitialPC she couldnt consent tho, she had the mental age of a 12 year old, 12 year olds cannot consent
@@InitialPC she has the mind of a child and those rapists knew it….
@@InitialPC she mentally disabled she didn’t know what she was doing! They took advantage of her.
I believe this was inspired by an actual case of high school boys abusing a mentally challenged girl. I also believe they were convicted without a jerk judge overturning the convictions.
Yes, I remember they had a lifetime movie about it.
@@oreldean Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge
Good. They should be buried underneath the prison imho.
@@cryptidian3530 I am glad they went to prison. The mentally disabled are not a sexual resource for predators!
@@RenaMichelle My ex was living in Glen Ridge when that incident happened. The movie took many liberties but he said sadly the guys who did it, once released went on with life and got jobs, etc. No real long term effects.
Even without the disability… still wrong. That judge is sick
It’s a show but some judges act like this in real life it’s sick
How is it wrong without the disability?? They’re the same age
WRONG or against the law? Learn the difference.
@@gagejernigan5277 a girl socially pressured into a gang bang cannot give consent. It can happen to anyone regardless of disability
@@gagejernigan5277 also the judge undermining the jury is wrong
What the judge basically said is
“She had the time of her life” as in
“If I had a shot I woulda joined in too”
Disgusting
I'd hate to hear what he says regarding pedophiles.
How soft are you
Real life the judge would have been disbarred and the defense motion dismissed
@@krishnasanyal7 I’d hope so.
@K K This is not real life. Don't know where you are from but in my country this happens rarely. The judges would be in jail for such behaviour
I'm in shock watching this with my jaw on the floor. She tells everyone exactly what those boys did to her and the man asks "Did you enjoy it?" ?!?! I couldn't believe he was serious! The worst part is the judge allowed this whole thing! I absolutely can't believe this was the standard treatment for victims back then. I'm shook 😳
If I was this girls dad I would have gotten up and punched him right in the face for saying that.
Not just back then, it's still happening today which sickens me since as McCoy said, how she was dressed shouldn't be relevant to a court case in any way.
but she did like it?
Even worse this was based on a real case that took place in Glen Ridge. NJ it was so disturbing it never left my mimd
@@adamlouis3725 irrelevant. And they did point out that she has some mental problems.
"She has the mind of a child!"
"She's curious about her own sexuality."
Yeah, so are children and even toddlers. It's natural BUT that does NOT make it okay for them to do what they did to her. She can be curious, that's fine, but even if she's physically considered 'mature' that doesn't mean it's okay for her to experience psychologically.
You can also clearly tell she didn't fully understand it either.
@@trinitylivingston1286 true plus the fact are not straight cases like this take months of questioning
@@ultimatemanny yea
Toddlers aren't curious about their sexuality tf
@@lunosol8914 there are rare illnesses that can cause puberty as early as 5 years old
so it can happen but its rare AF
As a disabled adult I get this. I was taken advantage of as a teen at work and just wanted to be accepted. I wanted attention too. I think this actress did an a amazing job. The way the boys looked all guilty and she said “sorry” for saying something. That killed me. The fact the judge was so blind to see it. That a girl like that will get hurt one day for it. It’s sick
I'm sorry that happened to you
@swimfast724 it's sad but once you hit 18. You're free game if you don't say no.
@swimfast724 now if we as a world decided universally that 18 is to young then the disabled may still be saved In sense of court justice.
What a disgusting judge.
Is what he did illegal? Leading the defense to make an appeal? He's clearly biased and already made up his own verdict
@@Animedingo At the very least, I would say unethical. He was clearly enforcing his personal opinion.
@@Animedingo Judges are supposed to be Impartial. Pretty sure attorneys can have the Judge removed for being Biased.
@@IamCanadian3333 that ethicality usually goes away when a huge amount of money is involved
@@albireotheredguard1599 It's funny because the reasons judge usually over-rule a jury verdict is if they feel they are prejudiced. Ironically, this judge seems very prejudiced.
I’m pretty sure everyone who had any kind of sexual experience when they were twelve and who thought it was cool at the time grew up to realize they were taken advantage of.
yes but imagine not getting to the point where you realize it
Sexual exploitation has ruined many lives.
Yes
I have autism. My father used to abuse me like that since I was really young. I remember liking it because it felt funny and it made my dad happy (if he wasn't happy, he would get drunk and hit me, my sister and mother)
I'm 21 now. I haven't seen him since I turned 14 and woke up to what kind of abuse I endured for so long because I didn't know better.
@@A5H_01 Sorry this happened to u
Honestly this is making me mad. Why is it they always go to what a girl is wearing when she’s raped? ITS TODDLERS IN KIDS CLOTHES THAT GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. Wtf does clothes have to do with a person whose mind is sick asf? Make it make sense. Victims are always treated like the guilty ones.
fr, i remember there’s a museum of victims and majority are sweaters, pants, even newborn onesies. that just shows that clothes don’t matter, clothes aren’t reasons.
They explained why
@@Slappys Their point was to prove she was aware of her seggsuality. Even if she was, that doesn't make it okay.
Hit the pricks who say that in the head with a bat. What? They weren't wearing a helmet - clearly asking for it.
I remember a young woman was raped by a taxi driver in Egypt . Get this she was wearing a FULL BURKA with gloves and everything . and they still asked her why she was alone with him!!! She got into a taxi after doing some shopping and the guy was the driver. The whole country was in up in flames . So he was quickly prosecuted but a lot of people wondered would the people protest if she wasn’t wearing any burka .
The audacity to say " did you enjoy it?"
"What were you wearing?" DISGUSTING
Well we would never know if she enjoyed if it wasn't asked. Don't be a hypocrite, higher IQs take advantage of you and you don't even know it and think it is normal.
Disgusting
His questions were so inappropriate, in my opinion
I audibly gasped when he asked what were u wearing, absolutely disgusting
but he was right. the matter of what she was wearing was essential to the case. they could use the clothes for Dna collection
What's even more sickening is cases like Brock Turner show that judges like this exist.
Yup
This was based on a real case, look up Outrage in Glen Ridge 😢
Yup
@@amazingabby25 The book "Our Guys" really opened my eyes to this case. We had a girl in our high school whom had to be sequestered to the library because she was sexually battered by a male student.
I came to the comments to say something about the similarity between what the jushe said about her having had the time of her life, and Brock's dad's comment about 20 minutes of action.
What’s sickening is society doesn’t care about disabled people they don’t care what happens to them society needs to protect disabled people more and prevent harm coming towards them
Most of society does care but unfortunately some people are just ignorant. What's more upsetting is that some in positions of power are just cruel and sick people. They have their own opinions and nothing will ever change their mind
They only care when it's convenient.
Clearly the jury cared but the judge didn’t.
People with mental disorders are also disabled
@@Songsthesecond i know that
She had the time of her life?! Even if she was curious she still wasn’t capable of understanding what she was doing !!!!!
I fully agree!
I still hate this episode. And I love the series itself.
Aside from Micheal being moved after punching that homophobic Politician in the face.
She understand what she was doing. She thought about doing it all the time according to her.
@@hahahaha147 Thinking about things and understanding the same things are two different things. Don't forget that this is an entertainment show from America (sometimes based on a real event or historical event). In this show those three males are guilty (or would be by Australian Law). It seems that in America a judge can overrule a jury's verdict which in my own personal view is wrong. However, again, remember, this sow is entertainment only and it seems to have a LOT of people angered.
@@hahahaha147 she said he was bouncing on her. she doesn’t even understand.
at 10 years old i was curious about those things too. so a grown man could take advantage of me at that age?
it doesn’t matter if she was disabled or not, she should have NEVER been assaulted
@@KenBroo0 Three against one. Pack mentality like animals.
@@JaylukKhan No just three invincible pack mentality little losers took advantage of her.
@@JaylukKhanrape is not assault? You kidding?
@@DipDuckDive she wasn't raped. The narrative wants us to think she was raped because they think disabled people can't give consent.
@@DipDuckDive You didnt watch the episode. The girl gave consent to everything the boys did and enjoyed it. The question is her being slightly mentally challenged prevented them from being given lawful consent?
Even though she was curious, there’s no way they should’ve ever touched her.
I’m disgusted for Valerie.
She doesn’t understand she was sexually violated. They don’t like her, they used her for their own gratification.
Just because a person talks a certain way doesn't mean they are mentally disabled. I fully blame the parents for not informing anyone of her condition and putting her in a place she was not mentally capable of handling
Are you arguing Disabled adults can’t give consent
@@treroney4720 no they can give consent, it’s just this situation reads humiliation for the girl bc they used her like a receptacle.
@@treroney4720 If the disabled adult has a brain of a 12 year old, no. That's literally the point here, not any disability, it's about her being mentally 12.
@@sakaiahreign3365 Isn't that what she wanted though? She admitted she liked the attention, "It made her feel pretty".
As a disabled teen about the same age, this is absolutely disgusting, but unfortunately it happens to disabled girls (and sometime guys) all the time. Also, the r-word is never a good word to use around disabled people.

The questions that man's asking her are disgusting and upsetting. I get that it's his job to defend the boys, but it still makes my stomach churn. And the fact that the judge not only allowed all of those questions, but clearly WANTED the boys to win. The ending of this clip is ridiculous. What a twisted human being. I know it's only a show of course, but judges like this do exist. That girl is chronologically 18 years old, but in her mind she's more like 10. She's a 10-year-old mind with a teenager's body and hormones. That's extremely dangerous and these boys took advantage of that, and the judge completely dismissed it. Disgusting.
Before I reply to this, I want you to disregard my username. First, currently, I work as an investigator and at times defense will win on technicalities. I've worked with a lot of lawyers before and have talked to a lot of defense attorneys and when I ask them, why they ask such demining questions some have told me "its innocent till proven guilty, it's my job to make sure you're doing your job, not taking short cuts, or got the wrong person for the crime".
I disagree. I think she wanted it and liked it. These boyd are dead wrong for taking advantage of her. But I don’t believe they should have went to prison for it. The girl obviously wanted her back blown out. And i refuse to put all the blame on the young men.
Omg the comment in your comment section is so ignorant, I hope they go to jail. No one can consent if they have a mental illness or disability that makes it hard for them to acknowledge what they’re doing. Anyway I agree with you
@@hahahaha147 you’re simply wrong
@@Sandstimes i agree. Temple Grandin was autistic but she’s a genius. People shouldn’t infantilize those in the spectrum, they should take what Temple says about autism and actually use her research and experience.

Seriously? As someone with a learning disability myself, this angers me. Those boys deserve to be guilty.
Agree
They were found guilty, but weren't punished, which reinforces the generalized suspicion that the justice system only works for some people. Whether these fictional boys suffer any abstract consequences such as guilt or shame, and whether those things compel anyone to do better, is up for speculation. One hopes that having a 'close call' forces a reconsideration of impulses.
daniela: My regards to Nicolae Ceaucescu
They did nothing wrong. She came on to them, she dressed in the way to attract them, she pursued them, etc. Her retardation is on her parent to deal with, not for others to adapt to and recognize. They aren't experts, how the hell can a 15 year old be expected to identify rtards by a few sentences. If that were the case then they shouldn't be at the same school as others as it makes it unfair for those who are there to learn but also have to deal with that type of nuisance around that may get them blamed for something.
Settle down chickypoo. It's just a show. Besides that, a learning disability is nowhere near this level.
That judge had no business overriding the jury's verdict.

i went to college with a girl like this. she very much had the mind of a child but she was curious. freshman year a few guys took advantage of her state. luckily a few other female students took her under their wing and she joined a sorority and was able to have a normal life. last i checked she was living at a group home after it was deemed she couldn't function alone.
I joined the military when I was 25. A female the age of 28 with the same mental capacity as what was portrayed in this joined at about the same time (28 with the mental capacity of a 16 year old). We had the same rate (job). She very much slept with ANYONE who was willing, which was very few people. I'm pretty disgusted at the few guys who were willing. No, I don't think they knew she was mentally challenged. Her parents did everything in their power to help her get through the checks of being recognized as mentally challenged so she could pretend to live a normal life.
How did she get into college?
She applied. Lol!😂
Same question I had
@@JoeCnNdIt's possible for a person to have developmental delays but still be able to study and get good grades.
WTH?! The Jury ruled them as guilty and the Judge just lets those guys off the hook? Is that even allowed?
Definitely. A NY judge can always set aside a jury's verdict of guilty if they don't think the jury followed the law or if they believe that the prosecutor presented the minimum amount of evidence. This can be used to inject bias into the system though...
@@abduljah9355 Geez. I can sympathize with Mccoy feeling upset about this.
sadly it is....judges have way to much power with little to no over sight
Yes, it's called a directed verdict, and it's only allowed to overturn a guilty verdict (cannot overturn a not guilty verdict.) Essentially, it's supposed to act as a stopgap to protect defendants who draw a biased jury who vote guilty when, in the judge's opinion, the prosecution failed to prove a crime was committed.
Yes. They do this a couple of times on Law and Order. They even have the attorneys ask "can he do this?" and apparently, yes, a judge can.

She was of age and she gave consent, legally they were in the right as those are the legal minimum, she wasn’t intoxicated.
Now ethically is an entire different question since it’s in regards to whether disabled people can consent and in what situations are those disabilities, especially intellectual ones handled

This is such a grey area even today. I worked with mentally disabled adults. They are allowed to be sexual and express it. But for us workers it’s hard to see because they often become victims online and irl predators. Legally, they are adults, but mentally they are children.
That’s why I avoid the whole thing by not getting into romantic relationships with mentally disabled people 😌.
@@kaliashot99 I'm autistic, by your label "mentally disabled". I am a full grown adult and the only thing coming off your statement comes off as nothing but ignorant. Being "mentally disabled" doesn't automatically enable you into having the mental complicity of a child. Fucking yikes.

My mom also worked with disabled adults and sometimes she'd get sexually harassed or she'd have to intervene when other ones would get harassed. Her adoptive brother has a son who's a high-functioning autistic and he used to make severely inappropriate remarks about my sister and me when we were underage, and we stopped going to family things with them. Sadly, there's a huge grey area with development.
The fact the judge asked the defendants lawyer to make a motion even though the kids were found guilty is gross. Most judges would have agreed or been satisfied with the verdict.
We all know it's because the Judge thought the victim was hot, and didn't want to feel guilty because she was intellectually a child. He was ready to hear her describe what she was wearing during the assault 😖

Which is proof of her incapacity to consent... even the way she behaved in general and the way she spoke about what happened. It's also disgusting in general all they auctually did was penetration even if the other issues weren't involved.

It was OK only in the limited context of what the boys may have been thinking. They might very well have not known how wrong they were. But the judge s/have known better and not thrown out the verdict. I don't know WHY they're allowed to do that. Not just this case but other cases too. The defendant has waived their right to a bench trial and wants a trial of "their peers"
I can’t describe the rage I felt when he asked, “Did you enjoy it?”
Literal rage.
There's a judge like that in the film "Peppermint." It doesn’t end well for that particular judge.
My son's autistic. I don't blame the defense lawyer too much for that. It's part of his defense and absent questions like that, this conviction could be easily overturned on appeal, citing an inadequate defense. What boils my blood is the judge egging on the boys lawyer by asking him if he wanted a motion to vacate the verdict and that lawyer initially balks. Only after more encouragement he does request and the judge dismisses, not asking but claiming she enjoyed it.
chill brah
Just make sure not to take it out on your gf
I felt rage too. Of *course* she's going to say it made her feel pretty, but that doesn't mean she enjoyed it or asked for it! Those boys knew what they were doing and so did the judge and the defense attorney!
my friend told me about how in her elementary school, there was a disabled girl and that this one boy would have her lie down on a table and inappropriately touch her. it's really disgusting how people take advantage of those who are weak
From the sound of it, it may be even worse than it seems. Since boys that young don't have any sexuality, they wouldn't do this unless an adult was doing it to them or they saw an adult do it to someone else. Meaning, the boy may have been molested and learned the behavior from a pedophile.
It's true. I read somewhere that patients in extended periods of coma especially women are sexually abused and several end up pregnant as a result. That's why I told my mom that at no point am I to be left alone if I ever end up in a coma.
A similar thing happened at my high school. It happened once and the perpetrator spent quite a long time in the hospital with very serious life threatening injuries. That family moved out of the area soon after as their son was a dead man walking at that point. This was in the eighties. I would like to think that men/boys still exist that mete out appropriate justice when necessary.
happens to men as well like in the old days female nurses would get them hard when they are passed out by the meds and get pregnant then when they die lie about being their girlfriend to get their stuff and paycheck from the armed forces which is why they are so hard on the marriage part.

Just because a person talks a certain way doesn't mean they are mentally disabled
This case was emotionally upsetting and the verdict was even more extremely enraging. And the fact that this was inspired by true events is infuriating.
The judge goes by the evidence provided and the only evidence the prosecutor provided was "well she talked slow so you should've easily knew she was mentally disabled"
Why? This girl was of legal age... aparrently from her mental status, this is the way she is always going to be. Are we supposed to force her to be celibate her entire life, deny her any possibility of physical love?
The people in the real case were convicted though. They're sentences were ridiculously light in my opinion and they are out, but they did serve prison time for it unlike in this case

I'm an adult and I still am haunted by my s/ual abuse case from when I was a child. At the time I did not understand the severity and the situation because I was too young but everything stuck with me and man. There really are awful judges out there. I remember having judge judy (the famous one we all know) and she was disgusting, apparently didn't believe a teenager can r/pe a child as young as 4 years old or even 6 or 8 years old and that it could be consensual.
I’m sorry that happened to you as a kid. But as disgusting as it sounds, what the judge said at the end was not incorrect 😢
@@ghastlytree5864 What I'm saying is. It is impossible for a child to consent to stuff like that. That's why they need to be groomed and manipulated. Unfortunately the judge thought that children do have the ability to consent to stuff like that.

That’s different that’s a man who raped a girl she’s not 18 years so she can’t consent.
This is based on the Glen Ridge NJ case in 1989. The actual case was more brutal, if I remember correctly
When I saw this episode, when the judge throughout the verdict, I felt my heart dropped the pit of my stomach. I feel so sorry for Valerie. What really surprised me is that her sister, Sally didn't want them to get away with it and wanted to kill them. Accidentally shooting a teacher.
I understand what Sally did was to justify for what happened to her sister and she didn’t deserve it.

Justice is subjective and open to interpretation. Slavery was acceptable 200 years ago, now it is not. In the past it was expected, (encouraged even) to flog slaves who 'misbehaved.' But that is abhorrent by today's society.
Even though they judge some aren't right to judge from what's clearly right and wrong. It's voice of opinion yeah but it's common sense on who's side to take

@@edithputhy4948 exactly: legitimate consent. If her character was depicted as underage, it'd be very different, wouldn't it? It's like when you turn 18, it's 'you shoulda known better'. There's a reason why minors and impaired people can justifiably escape binding contracts; because they can't legally give consent. Her ability to make decisions, her agency, is flawed.
Funny, there are dudes on here trying to exculpate the boys, because she and people like her have a right to 'get busy', if you will. It's a totally libertarian line of thinking, and it sure seems dudes like them want to create easy targets for later exploitation by removing protections. Too bad that gullibility becomes a legal issue, huh?. 'Winners and losers! It's the way of a cold, cruel world!' Sheesh...
TV Title Champion tbf that libertarian harm principle is one of the pillars of the justice system. Criminal procedure is about preventing harm being done unto others. But there are also other ideas of how the system should run. One is the state acting as a paternal guiding force, ensuring society fits certain moral standards in the name of public interest. R v Brown (1994) shows the complexities of this principle in action. Even between consenting adults, performing sadomasochistic acts against each other still consisted of assault. There was harm, but they wanted the harm. Does it still constitute harm? Should a state interfere in the private morality of individuals if it considers it against society’s moral interests?
Going back to this case, there’s two interpretations. As you said, under the libertarian harm principle, there’d be little ground to convict the boys, given she enjoyed it, of course. (I’m not making any assumptions about the girl in this specific instance. This is more of a thought experiment at large.) Under the paternal approach, the state would have the right to throw the book at the boys, for doing something so egregiously wrong as sleeping with an effective minor. Did she like it? Doesn’t matter. A slight difference in understanding of justice, and the state’s role, makes all the difference in how this case should be approached. The difference between guilty and innocent. I just find it fascinating.

Correction, they can. However the application here on the basis of lack of evidence doesn't seem reasonable even for the situation. I'm fully aware this is a drama show foremost but the judges personal opinion on the matter deciding the motion to dismiss is problematic. It does happen irl but here with the "political correctness" line in the show it makes it seem like the judge is doing so out of personal preference rather than a severe lack of evidence.

i know its only a tv show but if a judge can overrule a jury's decision what is the point of a jury in the first place ?
He cannot do it with impunity. He risks being impeached or entirely disbarred, and also facing jail time, if it can be proven that he did not have a legal or ethical reason for doing so.
The jury makes a decision on the facts of the case. The judge is there to ensure the law is followed. The judge can overrule a jury's verdict if he feels it is unsafe or outside the law.
