Judge Who Reversed Rape Conviction Removed From Bench

- Cameron Vaughan expected to see the teenager convicted of raping her sent to prison. However, she was horrified when Judge Robert Adrian quashed the guilty verdict and set him free. The 18-year-old suspect, Drew Clinton, was found guilty of rape by the judge. However, the judge later announced that he was reversing the verdict and found the accused rapist not guilty. After a public outcry, he was removed from the bench. Inside Edition’s Ann Mercogliano has more.
Hold judges accountable. They're a big reason why criminals walk free
💯
Judge was totally paid off
@@Taecoconutmakes sense to me, and he should be held accountable
Definitely
That would be DAs but yeah I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying. Hold DAs and judges accountable for not prosecuting criminals or letting them go.
"My daughter wouldn't have been in that situation" So he quite literally blamed the victim. Wow
Yep. What a disgusting disgrace of a judge.
Attention seeking and shouldn't be drinking and partying with strangers then (fell asleep)
@Lloyd.chapman Yes, I get that. However, that boy did rape her and where I'm from, that's a sex crime.
Well that’s what you get for drinking UNDERAGE. No one to blame but herself. 🙄
@@rackt09 both can't concern if both drunk, don't tell your minor daughter to go in a club partying. But there's should be alcohol test for the boy if he's making conscious decision.
He gave himself away when he said if that was my daughter she would not be in that situation. He is saying that because she was in a situation that makes her vulnerable, then it is okay to prey on her.
He just kinda cursed his own daughter to go through the same thing.
There is nothing Honorable about this ex- judge.
Riiight. Victim blaming. Insinuating it was her fault. Disgusting human being.
Yeah but is there really prove he did it? What is the proof besides her taking a selfie crying? The only thing is her word and people lie everyday. What is the proof it happened? There has to be proof
exactly. a girl should have the right to get black out drunk without being assaulted.
After the judge said that, blaming the victim, I’m 100 percent convinced the perpetrator is guilty. That or the judge was paid off to reverse his decision.
lol paid off by who? Who’s got money and motivation to pay off this judge?
@@0IIIIII The kids parents?
@@0IIIIII The kid's parents. The guy's videos look like he's probably upper-middle class.
I’d say both
Drew Clintons father is a large republican donor lmao, and the judge is a hyper conservative Christian. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to connect the dots.@@0IIIIII
"put herself in that situation"... Says everything right there... He's blaming the victim.
You know that you can put yourself in situations that screw yourself over right? Making you the victim of your own stupid choice.
The judge basically sent the message that as long as you do it to someone in a vulnerable position, you’re off free
The court should work on evidence. There have been so many lying rape reports. You can't just jail anyone who gets accused of rape.
@@dodgek5270 They did. it is how he was found guilty.
@WGWF1022 the judge literally said in the same interview why he thought he wasn't guilty...
@@dodgek5270 the guy was convicted but the judge wanted him to not see additional jail time outside the 5 months he already was detained for. The judge didn’t argue he wasn’t guilty, he was arguing that the girl shouldn’t of been passed out at a party
the lawyer as well
He literally just blamed the victim when he said his daughter would not be in that situation.
He gives further justification for his decision that this news piece doesn’t discuss. Like for example, several quotes from him on Ballotopedia
@0IIIIII Don't need to hear anything after he victim blamed the girl and said "his daughter wouldn't be in that situation" Do we need to pull out crayons and explain how wrong that is?
@@EpicGamingGrunt how about you read his statements
@@0IIIIIICan you link the statements? it does seem like his statement here was spliced to just look bad and I want to see the full picture
@@sophfye you can Google his name and find him and this case info on Ballotopedia. I can’t post links because RUclips hates links but you can Google his name + Ballotopedia you’ll see it.
The judge is clearly a predator
EDIT: all those in the comments implying that she shouldn't be drunk at 16, clearly you're the type of men that would take advantage.
the fact that she was 16 and drunk is dumb .
@@zuz2366that doesn’t make rape okay on his part
@@ladymireof course it doesn’t, but you shouldn’t be drinking when your body can’t handle it yet
Might become a supreme court justice if the election goes a certain way
My thoughts too
The moment he said that his daughter wouldn't PUT HERSELF in that situation is all you need to hear to know that HE IS BLAMING THE VICTIM.
You need to blame the victim, if I leave bag of cash on the street and someone steal it you will blame me right? You need to protect yourself
@498 Jesus, why the hell do we have a justice system then, if the blame is gonna fall on the victims. Oh, your family member got murdered?? They didn't protect themselves hard enough, so y'know the murderer really just taught them a lesson, and doesn't deserve years in prison.
A society where people can't afford to be vulnerable is not a society, it's the jungle.
@@AReallyBoredFlower if he kidnapped her and attacked on the street yes he should be in prison, but if they were both drank , i am sorry its his word against hers, we can’t just believe women
@@saimo2498 and stealing cash is not the same as raping someone that’s disrespectful to compare the two I mean seriously… did anyone even raise you at all??
@@saimo2498umm,that's not the same situation AT ALL.
If you look at why the judge overturned his ruling, additional evidence came out after the trial, before sentencing, where the victim supposedly told people that she had a pillow pushed on her face when she woke up, but she was able to push Clinton away before anything sexual occurred. She supposedly told her father she was not raped.
The problem is the prosecution only went with the rape charge. They did not charge sexual assault or even simple assault. You can't convict a person of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt if the victim goes around after the trial and tells people the crime didn’t happen.
For prosecutors: Charge everything you possibly can and hope one of the lesser included offenses stick.
For victims: keep your mouths shut. Especially if you win. Anything you say can be used on appeal.
this should be top comment
This comment should be pinned.
The media is incapable of sharing the facts.
a lot of comment here just claiming whos guilty without even knowing what actually happened in court. ty for the info
Actually a wise comment. And yes, totally agree on "charge everything you possibly can, even lesser offenses." I've seen videos showing literal murderers that got away with 0 jail time just because an incompetent (& probably inexperienced) prosecutor only charged 1st degree murder and not 2nd degree as well as manslaughter. Might as well throw it all on there so the Jury can fall back on a lesser charge if necessary
The massage this judge is sending is that any girl who gets herself drunk is ok to be taken advantage of.
Message actually but yeah, we get the point
@@woiacelike amber heard who would belive her
@@white_genocide2050 Whatever your point is, it's irrelevant and incoherent.
I know right?
he also sent the message: girls, don't get drunk anywhere because bad things can happen, real world.
4 YEARS IN PRISON FOR RAPE? THAT'S NOTHING!! Reversed conviction or not, that monster is still set free and on the streets. He would be out free and on the streets and still be a remaining threat after a freakishly short period of time away!
your pic is creepy.
Oh boo hoo!
Ok DANNY MASTERSON PIC LOL

Man that kid has some powerful parents.
Breason
His last name is Clinton !!! Hmmmm !!!
Wonder if that was why he got no real punishment !!!
explain
Was there evidence that he did it or it was her word against his?
If it was a black kid, he would still be behind bars sadly
@@saimo2498she said she woke up and he's was on top of her, and then afterwards, he started playing video games. Not only did she SEE him, she Identified him and followed up with a police report. The judge was out of line for bringing his personal feelings into it and most likely he was paid to reverse his decision.
The reversed conviction removes it from the rapist’s record, making it easier for him to get away with it the next time.
That's not true
the reversal just prevents it from being view by background checks and public requests, but it will remain on his file for the rest of his life until he goes to court and requests it to be removed and even then it will just be buried further into the system preventing basic level law enforcement access to the information.
Since it was overturned it cannot ever be used against him in court.
@@4amcripple there is only one way it can if he is taken to court for the same charges involving someone else, but they still have to make it clear the charges were overturned.
@@griffin0010 It removes the conviction, not the arrest, from background checks.
Why is she drunk at 16?
Asking the real questions here… i don’t think she knows what rape is…
@@double_joseph327 rape is rape, she could not consent, she was raped plain and simple
she took a selfie after lol doing it for clout
exactly
👀
I'm lost, why was the first thing she did after she was raped, was take, and post a selfie about her being raped. Wouldn't you call the cops or go to the hospital?
IDK that seems weird to me.
exactly what i was also thinking, aswell as her just straight up smiling. very hard to believe here
@@die66666 I wanted to mention the smiling, but I thought everybody would attack me for saying it.
@@ginnungagapabyss5639Exactly like who tf takes a selfie after such a traumatic experience such as being raped?
@@joshvincent8002 right, not only that but she’s smirking in the selfie.
yeah this could have been just her deciding the next morning that she regretted what happened.
Getting so drunk you can't make decisions is your own fault. No one should assault anyone for any reason also obviously. Problem is if she can't remember, then who is to say she didn't pursue sex with him. At the end of the day she shouldn't have put herself in that position. The judge is right about that.
Common sense and moral scruples should tell you it is not okay to SA somebody drunk or not! They were all underage and drinking so I am sure she wasn't the only one drunk, and that boy should have had the human decency to NOT touch her at all. It is illegal to have sex with an inebriated person (research it) anyway so he should have known better with his nasty self.
@@mariegiardini Yes, no one should be assaulting anyone. That is a given. There is no evidence that is what happened here. So she's allowed to be drunk and can do whatever but he, also drunk, has to have the utmost decency and control. Not her though? He is inebriated too so she's guilty of sleeping with someone intoxicated by your very ill thought out logic. You aren't making the valid points you think you're making...
@@mariegiardini i have no idea why you completely trust this girl, she doesn't even remember it herself. Were you there?
@@blaze556922 nice misogynistic comment. You’re a fool. He put his penis in her, she didn’t slip and land on his dick. He made all the moves. This is so common but you’re ignorant. He should have kept his hands off of her. He’s a scumbag!
Why would you take a selfie smiling after being assaulted???
She’s going it for clout.
The fact that he called him "an innocent man" just boils my blood. W.t.f.
Why maybe he was maybe he wasn’t , the judge with professional experience says he was innocent while people on yt comment sections apparently know better 😂
What do you know about it?
@@zorlockts5744 feminists literally create tens of thousands of fake profiles with male names and try to defend "women's rights". Worse, this is sanctioned by the government as part of advancing women.
he was innocent, a court of law found him innocent, so why tf do you believe you have the right to deny his innocence when he had a trial and the trial found him innocent?
well he is innocent.... there wasnt evidence to prove "guilty beyond reasonable doubt"
Need to check that judge's bank account to see if there was a "reason" to change the verdict.
Who takes a selfie after getting grapped? Wtf that explains todays generation
"how to discredit your own serious claim 101"
You have a point. I was sexually assaulted multiple times, but I never showed my selfie after those assaults on me.
@@ArranVid so we all acknowledge gen z take selfies for everything but can't fathom a selfie for this? Which is it? Generation obsessed with selfies or nah?
i mean the most logical would be evidence but as its just her... dont really understand.
You see a selfie? I see evidence.
Why did he find him guilty in the first go around? Why didn't he declare him not guilty in the first place?
If he did rape her then he deserves to be found guilty but it’s tricky these days cause a lot of women can’t seem to know the difference between rape and regret.
exactly. Inside edition frequently has this sort of dishonest reporting, where they try and paint a story the way they want. In this case, the facts seem to be that the judge found him not guilty, so he did nothing wrong there. It was his job to decide whether the evidence was enough to convince him of guilt, and it didn't. People act as if this woman is definitely telling the truth and that guy was definitely guilty. But we don't know that.
Plus false rape allegations have increased in number of late from bible times between portiphars wife against Joseph.
Google the case & read it. Judge saved a Innocent Man. 💯
Curious where you're getting this information from? Because the ex judge's statement on his reversal was that she was "voluntarily intoxicated" and was "swimming in the pool in her underwear" earlier that day, so, his argument is that it was consensual, and not that there was no rape at all.
Also, the commission that removed him from the bench said they found the ex-judge lied several times under oath.
Did it actually happen though? That’s the problem, can’t tell anymore because so many accusers LIED
What I dont understand is why the judge did not find him not guilty in the first place, thus avoiding a reversal. For all we know maybe the guy is truly innocent and the judge realized it after
Obviously that is not the story Inside Edition is selling, it is "believe all women".
There is actually a good chance that the guy is innocent, or at least his guilt was not proved beyond reasonable doubt.
Most likely his parents bought the judge
He didn't want to charge him in the first place. From what I've been reading, he may have planned to reverse the decision from start, 1. so the case is expunged from Drew Cameron's records and 2. so the state can't charge him again for the same thing.
Unfortunately for the ex judge, the Illinois Courts Commission found enough evidence for "egregious misconduct" and "thwarting of the law" to remove him from the bench.
She’s drinking at 16 what about that. And she should be blamed she’s at a high school party at 16 and drinking alcohol
not only that, she was 16 at a high school graduation party!!! She knew what she was getting into, she wanted it so she needs to be held accountable also!
The victim blaming is crazy and disgusting
@@Earthlcal listen to the video “16” year old girl at a party for 18+ people and she was drinking do some simple research
Out of everyone here that just blurted out the first thing based off how they FEEL, did anyone actually take the time to analyze the evidence? Didn't think so.
Agreed, they just believe her words with no proof, who takes a selfie after getting raped and passing out from drinking at 16...
I MEAN... DOES ANY BODY KNOW THE FULL DETAILS, WHERE IS THE DUDE'S STATEMENT, WHAT HAPPENED, SHE JUST STATED HER SIDE OF THE STORY, HOW MANY WOMEN PLAY VICTIM AND GET AWAY WITH IT, BESIDES, THE DUDE LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL GUY, NOT A CERTIFIED SERIAL RAP1ST LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK SO... NOW... IF HE REALLY DID WHAT SHE IS STATING, THEN HE DESERVES THE FULL PUNISHMENT NO DOUBT... HOW IS IT THAT THE JUDGE HIM SELF SAID THAT HE FOUND OUT SOMETHING, WHAT WAS IT??, TYPICAL ONE SIDED NEWS STORY TO FAVOR THE RADICAL FEMINISM MOVEMENT, OR THIS IS JUST FAKE NEWS... WE DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING ON THIS, SO I WILL REMAIN SKEPTICAL UNTIL WE ALL KNOW THE TRUE STORY AND MAYBE SHE DESERVES TO GO TO JAIL FOR TRYING TO SETUP THE DUDE, GUESS WE WILL NEVER KNOW!
The evidence is such:
Judge makes ruling with information presented during the trial.
*time passes*
Judge receives information (for some unknown reason) OUTSIDE of the formal trial.
Judge decides that HE or the defense were SO utterly incompetent the first go around, that he needs to change his ruling *completely* to reflect what he now FEELS was a total injustice of the law. AKA.. himself. He was the total injustice of the law.
@@octaviolopez9966 she was 16 he was 18. The age of consent in Illinois is 17. I don't know why they didn't just charge him with statutory rape. Also, "he does not look like a serial rapist" is the most stupid thing I've heard so far this year.
"If this was my daughter, she wouldn't have put herself in that position." Dingo. That's all you need to know. He doesn't care whether it did or didn't happen. He thinks the rape allegation is moot because she was drunk. Sorry bud, that's not how the law works. Good thing you won't have to worry about that anymore.
That girl looks 30 years old.
There’s videos on how gen z looks old and gen x looks young
The makeup makes her look older I think
Sounds like he made the right call if there was no evidence.
AND there was a selfie of her smiling after SA. Victims don't smile after SA but they do after consensual sex.
Unbelievable! Shame on the judge.
She took a selfie after being rapped what
Exactly. This case is complete nonsense.
She’s doing it for clout.
This made me go WTF. She claimed she was so drunk she was passed out but can perfectly recall everything that was happening as soon as she woke up?? She also stated that the guy was bragging that he raped her to friends....
I don't know what exactly happened but her version of the incident is questionable.
Believe all women keeps sending innocent men to jail. Insanity!
Pink women have a history of lying about this particular crime.
Sixteen years old and drinking at a party. Enough said.
omg i just got SA'd let me take a selfie... real strange behavior maybe we should actually look up the case and see the evidence that was presented before we just assume she was telling the truth or assume he was innocent
100 percent
She has no evidence, just her own word and a selfie
You’re brave man, how dare you remind people especially women how the Justice system worked
I find it astonishing that the judge would even consider such a lenient sentence. When questioned about how he would feel if it were his own daughter, he shockingly shifted blame onto the victim, claiming his daughter would never be in that situation. It’s truly unbelievable.
Being violated by someone, brings shame, would you post a picture of yourself to social media after something like that happened?
@@viewwithmchugh How can I express my potential reactions after experiencing a traumatic event like rape? Additionally, how should we evaluate someone's behavior following such an ordeal? | assume you might have some insights. It seems challenging to expect complete rationality when control has been utterly taken away due to the trauma.
@@SeanSalas if I was raped by a man, or abused by a woman, putting it on social media is the last thing I'd ever do, I just feel she shows no emotion and is disinjenious. I have watch another video where she recounts it to a reporter and has a slight smile about her when she does, the actions feel very far removed form someone who felt violated.
@@viewwithmchugh What is the title of the video you mentioned? As far as when it comes to victims recanting 70 to 80% of domestic violence victims recant their statements. Onlookers often suspect that victims alter their stance on prosecuting their abusers due to fear of retaliation. While this era is heavily influenced by social media, I personally wouldn’t handle such a situation in the same way. However, I cannot fully comprehend the personal life experiences of an 18-year-old in today’s world.
@@SeanSalas judge removed from bench over sexual assault ruling
Not enough info here to decide whether or not it was the right decision.
That is on purpose.
Everyone talking tall without knowing ANYTHING from the court case. Just because a news video reports on something, doesn't make it facts. I'd like to see some true evidence.
She was drunk of course everything she says is true and recalled correctly that night.
Funny that people aren’t talking about she was 16 drinking as a high schooler and got raped because of her own actions.
Wow, this Judge's arrogance knows no bounds.
Drunk at a party? Most likely consented then forgot.
If someone is drunk they cannot consent
@@ohhi9195 lmao
I know it’s serious and all, but underage drinking is illegal. Shouldn’t both of them be in jail?
Surprised no one talking about this. A good parent would teach their kids the danger of drinking at such a young age
In that case billions of us should be in jail 😂 be serious
@@Edgarto156 … What? Do that many underage people drink?
It's rather striking how many people think that blaming the victim is a sensible response to hearing about a crime.
Absolutely ridiculous she should also get a retrial as well
They can't try for rape - double jeopardy. They can only charge for what they didn't before, and that would be assault.
Sounds like the judge got bribed maybe…
Who tf take selfies after getting grape?😂
For real!!! That's what I'm saying!
Hold up? She took a selfie?!? What is wrong with women this is crazy 😂
Isn't all the judge is saying: Innocent until proven guilty? If there's no evidence that he's guilty of a crime, why should he be convicted of one, just based on unproved accusations?
yes, but why didn't he say that with the information that was legally presented during the trial.
@@l3hxy That's a fair point.
Anything to this degree should ALWAYS have a jury!.
real victims don't usually go parading around on the news
They need to check his bank accounts, guaranteed someone related to the rapist paid him off.
Somehow, I believe the "Judge" would have thought differently, had the victim been one of his family members.
16 year old drunk at a party, way to go🎉
Monster gets 4 years while an innocent person gets 10 years because of a NFA “violation.”
Sending someone to jail on the accusations of a single person with no proof, while that same "victim" was breaking the law and took a selfie claiming rape... and we have an entire comment section just assuming she told the truth, this teenager passed out drunk!!! she probably doesn't even remember a fraction of what happened that day...
Judges have been a huge problem in America
He found the kid not guilty but the media reports him as guilty. I'm going to believe the guy who reviewed the case over the media that consistently misrepresents events.
Wrong. He DID find the guy guilty but then was paid off to flip it.
@@iamthelaw2828 from what I heard, new evidence/info came out between the trial and the sentencing.
but I don't know all the details and neither do you.
“Don’t be afraid” but she was afraid, she went to a high school GRADUATION party at 16? And got shitface drunk?
He’s NOT saying it’s ok.
He’s saying do better, Don’t pass out drunk, Why is a 16 year old getting drunk at a party?
By doing these things you suffer consequences. All Bad choices have consequences.
I feel that’s the message he’s sending.
Exactly, she wants to play the victim when it is her fault for drinking, who knows maybe she wanted to sleep with the dude but then passed out and forgot lol 😂
I didnt care until I saw that the "victim" met the european standards of beauty, now I support her. She is so independent and powerful
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He is BLAMING the victim!!! What a POS.. His own words were "if it was my daughter, she would not have put herself in that situation !!!" TERRIBLE judge! Oh wait, EX JUDGE!
I can't believe what the judge just said!! Complete dululu
Never say what your children will or won’t do, Mr. Ex judge
You can see the bitter feelings he has towards her, because he also blames her for getting him fired. I hope he loses everything.
so is he free??
Good question its unclear
YES!!!! He is.
This kid's trying to clear her own name because she knows she wasn't raped. So she'll destroy this other guy to make sure of that. Judge is in the right.
judge is in the right but a committee of his peers removed him from the bench. you should give them a call and tell them what you think.
Cameron you shouldnt of passed out drunk that was irresponsible. Take accountability somewhere
She should take responsibility for her actions yes. Her actions do not justify being raped.
Well said, Bigwatchman28. I agree with you.
You can easily tell she is an easy girl and did it consciously. Probably wanted to grab some money from the guy and he didn't pay
why is this even news worthy.
Everyone go watch the video of the guy who spent decades in prison before the decision was reversed because of false accusations
Everyone go watch the dozens and dozens of videos of corrupt judges letting criminals run free and terrorize more civilians. The judge knows the rapist did it, he said so as he was reversing the conviction, and now wants to pretend that this is some big miscarriage of justice.
The fact that the guy spent in prison 5 months cos of unproven allegation to begin with is ridiculous. The system is rotten.
16 year olds should not be blacking out at High School parties. This does not mean she should be blamed (no victim of rape ever should), but there is such thing as common sense and making decisions that don't put you at higher risk. Very unfortunate situation.
she was drinking at 16? passing out drunk at parties? wow
He’s outright calling him innocent and that she put herself in the position. I heard from her what happened and she did not. Man go take this time and get on the treadmill. Remove all these weak judges!
I do not condone rape but I’ve also seen a lot of innocent men get sent to jail over false accusations and I am not aware of the particulars of this case however, it’s good to be open minded and consider both sides of the story and let the evidence speak for itself.
This is very scary that a judge of all people feels what he did was right! I'm absolutely disgusted.
Wow…he said that. Blaming the victim. I’ve passed out with 2 guys who were friends and nothing happened because they know right from wrong. The judge is an old guy who came from the 60’s’s and 70’s, “well she was wearing a short skirt, so I guess she was asking for it” I should know, I came from the 80’s and that’s how that generation thought.
He’s the kind of guy who would watch The Accused and root for the rapists.
How do you know she wasn't falsely accusing him? Once alcohol is involved, I question everything. Was he drunk too? When you're drunk your sense of judgement is gone. So they both could've been drunk for all we know. She probably didn't like the outcome of the hookup. Where's the evidence?
@@chicosuavae6764 that's exactly what I am saying. She got embarrassed after the fact
What evidence was *HE* looking at?? She made a mistake by getting drunk, so that gives this effing criminal the right to do what he did??
Thank God he's no longer on the bench.
There’s 0 evidence of what he allegedly did. It’s completely normal that he’s been declared innocent.
@@Fred-zt5ky
The same O evidence that the Same judge used to Convict him?
Don't pass out drunk. That's the first step of staying safer
That ex-judge should be in prison
I see why a lot of rape victims don't come forward
what he did wasn't a crime, she was drunk and gave him the OK, she regretted it later and had him arrested. So glad I didn't have this happen to me, poor boy. I've slept with alot of drunk women that said sex was ok. Glad none changed there mind later like this girl did. She shouldn't have been drinking. Props to the judge for seeing the truth. Why wasn't she arrested for this, she was underage drinking.
High school is a weird time for sure. I slept with a chick who was high on ecstasy (I didn’t realize it and was very naive). She appeared very aware and made the first move. After all was done she started telling people I was a creep. I assume she did this because she thought I’d tell people of our encounter. Luckily she never went to the police to place false charges on me. In fact, she ended up getting kicked out of school for bringing drugs on campus.
Sounds like the judge had his palm grease with a few dollars😂😂😂😂
I’m curious if the girl lied about her age and if the guy was drunk too. If so, then he’s not guilty
To me it seems like the reporter should have asked the judge exactly why he changed his mind from guilty to not guilty in this case. Reasonable people don't want to see a rapist go free or an innocent person get incarcerated but this story didn't seem to provide any relevant information with regard to the boy's guilt or innocence.
the committee that removed him from the bench released a statement, which to me seemed to imply they thought the judge may have planned to reverse his decision all along so not only does it expunge the charge from the rapist, but it prevents the state from trying him again for the same thing.
@@maria89 Thanks for the info. Considering that, it makes me think the judge was paid off by someone in the boy's family. Maybe the only question left is how much.
The perpetrator deserves to go to jail. It was wrong. However, she did put herself in that situation. That was stupid and she should take responsibility for that. Her taking responsibility for making a stupid choice does not take away from the fact that the perpetrator is guilty and deserves to go to jail. It's not her fault, but she was absolutely stupid, and she should advocate for other girls to protect themselves and avoid danger as much as possible at the same time as advocating for justice against the perpetrator.
Its literally her fault. Should of stayed home and watched cartoons. You ack grown up you vet grown up
Ladies never go to parties by yourself, go with a group of friends, and always leave together!
Rape is not EVER acceptable.
Yet the fact remains .....
She SHOULDN'T have been drinking and partying
and allowing herself to be in that circumstance.
Very sad.
It's certainly something to consider before entering such an environment.
I agree with you, the message isn't getting out there, they're too angry to realize the main point of the story is that you should NEVER put yourself in a vulnerable situation, learn to control your desires.
Oddly the judge may be right. Sounds kinds of like another drunk girl who regretted it and screamed victim.
Stop!! 4 years is not enough!! That judge needs to think again!!
I'm assuming youve done your research and critically went through all the evidence presented. No? You just listened to her side and a one minute video the media put together specifically to get outrage clicks. Don't be a lazy fool who believes everything you hear without question
It wasn't 4 years, the perpetrator only served 5 months before the judge let him out. Watch the video again.
People have zero attention spans. Probably didn't even watch the entire video.@@kyliepechler
Lot of strong opinions based on a 2 minute clip that is quite biased against the judge. My personal bias is heavily towards the girl, but there's clearly much more to this story than this 2 minute clip provides. Like most MSM, the clip is well designed to provoke an emotional response, but not good at informing the viewer.
If the kid was found with some pot, he not only would have gotten more time, the conviction would not have been reversed.
The reasons this Judge has is so wrong! He should be ashamed! 😡
He violated the code of conduct.
You said that really weird.
What a disgusting judge, he feels sympathy for the rapist, not the one who got raped.
That former judge is disgusting!!!
So why wasn't a jury involved? Thought we were supposed to be judged by 12, not 1.
the accused has a right to a jury trial, he doesn't have to have one he can choose a judges verdict
“ put herself in that situation “ because the judge is a rapist and has done this himself.
