Here's a pic of the Democrat Judge. I guess if you're being raped by a Liberal, you're just supposed to lie back and enjoy it.

State District Judge Jeanine Howard of Dallas has removed herself from a controversial rape case after questioning the victim's innocence and sentencing the admitted rapist to community service at a rape crisis center. Yes, really. Howard voluntary recused herself following an interview with the Dallas Morning News last week, in which she said the girl, 14 at the time, "wasn't the victim she claimed to be," and the attacker, then 18, "is not your typical sex offender."
The judge, a Democrat running unopposed for reelection in the fall, cited medical records that showed the girl's past sexual activity and that she'd had a child. There were also texts between the victim and Sir Young, now 20, consenting to sex but not at school; both testified that she said "no" and "stop" before and during the attack in a music practice room on campus.
Howard used her broad powers and reputation for "creative sentencing approaches" to give Young 45 days in jail, five years of probation (including spending every anniversary of the rape in jail for those five years), and 250 hours of community service at the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center. Unsurprisingly, the center said no thanks and that part of the punishment is being reconsidered. Young faced up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to the rape his lawyer admits happened but cast dismissively as just "two kids messing around at school."
"There are rape cases that deserve life. There are rape cases that deserve 20 years. Every now and then you have one of those that deserve probation. This is one of those and I stand by it," said Howard in the interview that made the case national news. She also insisted, "I will always do the right thing."
The victim, on the other hand, concluded, "It would have been better for me not to say anything."
sentencing the admitted rapist to community service at a rape crisis center.?????

If it was your niece, that you knew was a slut...already had a kid...and was already agreeing (probably already did), would you be able to put this 18yr old boy in jail for 25 years?
Are there trumped up charges?
Yup. Often.
Do the cops wring out false confessions?
Yup.
But in this case the male was an adult beyond the allowed age differential allowed for age of consent cases. He knew she was too young for him to be sexual with.
So in addition to admitted rape/rape, we have statutory rape. The girl was too immature to give informed consent a d the man was old enough to know better.
Lolita.
I would go for three to five.
And somehow if she has been that active for a while I would suggest she was introduced to sex very young and for the girl’s sake I would set about trying to find out about that and maybe change her locality and social interactions.
Sir Young
What position does he play?
A Democrat giving an apparently violent rapist a pass? Well, that’s OK since it is the TEA Partiers waging a War on Women. /SPIT
I would have to have more info before I came down on either side of the case.
Missionary?
BTW Race Baiting Trolls, I have no idea what the race of the victim was. Or the perp until I looked down thread. And could not have cared less about either.
+1.
You think all women who get raped are sluts? There is no evidence. The judge claimed this girl has been pregnant before, even though there is evidence against it.
The perp must’ve supported abortion. That’s the feminists’ litmus test for sexual offenses.
I wonder what he did to earn a heraldic title? </sarc>
