A judge who suggested that a woman seeking a restraining order could “close your legs” to prevent a sexual assault was removed from the bench Tuesday by the New Jersey Supreme Court and permanently barred from presiding over a courtroom.

The unanimous decision cited “repeated and serious acts of misconduct” by state Superior Court Judge John Russo Jr.

Chief Justice Stuart Rabner wrote that it would be “inconceivable” for Russo to preside over domestic violence or sexual assault matters after those comments. […]

The woman appeared before Russo in 2016 seeking a restraining order against a man she said sexually assaulted her. According to a transcript of the exchange, when the woman described her encounter with the man, Russo asked her, “Do you know how to stop somebody from having intercourse with you?”

When the woman answered yes and said one method would be to run away, Russo continued, “Close your legs? Call the police? Did you do any of those things?” …

A really stupid comment, deserving of the loss of his job.

Judge likes to say legs.

The creepiness smells a little like Biden’s. Not in form but in an offbeat perv way.

“Do you know how to stop somebody from having intercourse with you?”

How about the Biden method: Fire two blasts from a double-barrelled shotgun.

That sounds like something a judge would say in a black and white movie. Something with Spencer Tracy or Gary Cooper.

I wonder who appointed him.

[Conserv]

Hey, judge, know how to keep from being raped in the @ss.

Just sit down. See how that works for you.

Chris Christie, actually. But he did get an earlier judicial appointment from Jon Corzine.

Heck, some liberal idiots told college women who wanted guns for protection against rape, that they didn’t need guns, and that all they had to do was “Pee on their Attackers”

[Darksheare]

His picture really sells the creep factor too.

[Olog-hai]

A RINO and a far-lefty. Explains a lot.

Plenty of FReepers and Woke Feminazis and tv watching hipsters all defended Aziz Ansari’s behavior where he stripped and repeatedly pulled a woman’s hand to his crotch while she tried to pull her hand away.

They all said that she knew what was up when she went to his place for drinks.

“Wait, don’t touch me there, that is my no no square”

In Texas a judge can put a good woman in jail for trying to keep a business running to feed her family and employ others and the jerk judge keeps his job. Yet a judge that says something inane and stupid about rape concerning women is fired. Judges putting people in jail and fining them huge sums for unconstitutional reasons is A-OK but saying something stupid that crosses the line with the #MeToo crowd is a offense requiring termination.

The crazies are running the asylum.

[JudgemAll]

Judge did not say get a gun. A liberal piece of sht I bet

[cranked]

Coming to you from the same folks who long asserted that if woman did wear that such and such provocative dress, etc., they would not have to worry about being raped. GG. /s

[RWGinger]

The difference is that the idiot Texas judge was elected not appointed. We wil see if he gets re-elected

[SkyPilot]

I wager that women close their legs instinctively upon seeing this jerk.

[yldstrk]

I bawled out one of my clients for going to a guys place for drinks and having to contend with an octopus. Women, don’t go to a dude’s place for anything. Some of them think it means you are saying yes. Be smarter than that.
