Judge Orders 17-Year-Old Girl Not To Have Sex
POSTED: 10:16 am EDT September 30, 2005
SHERMAN, Texas -- No sex. That's part of a sentence imposed on a 17-old-girl by Texas state district judge Lauri Blake.
She's ordered the young drug offender not have sex as long as she is living with her parents and attending school, as a condition of her probation.
It is one of several unorthodox rulings Judge Lauri Blake has imposed since she was elected 10 months ago in the district court that covers Fannin and Grayson counties.
She has also prohibited tattoos, body piercings, earrings and clothing "associated with the drug culture" for those on probation.
Lawyers are also subject to her rulings. Blake has the told female attorneys not wear sleeveless shirts or show cleavage in her courtroom.
Blake agreed to an interview but later declined through her court coordinator.

If that was the case no and knowing our media that may have been the case but if it was just a judge ordering such I say horse hockey.
Calex I don't wanna do this all day I just think its funny how If I who have been here a while by internet standards don't follow the path of everyone else I am immediatly ridiculed for not being in lockstep with the so called right.
I hope I didn't offend you I just bit back before I thought.

You know when the election is, then. Please share it with us. I will support this judge.
She was just elected last Nov. and has a four-year term. She is a Republican and a Methodist Sunday School teacher.
No problem, I shouldn't have been so quick to critisize, I usually don't do that without thinking but today has not been a good day for me and maybe I was looking for someone to take it out on. Except my appology and have a great day.
So she has over 3 years until re-election? Most politicians don't pander for votes this early..
Well, for starters, we support judges like the one referenced in this thread. I'll get back to you with more thoughts - not a lot of time now..
Can judges infringe on your constitutional right to bear arms?
Courts say yes.
Convicted felons can't own guns.
The issues raised by Judge Blake's conduct are real simple and straight forward: Is the rule of law more important than the "made up" rules this crazy judge follows in imposing her own sense of political and moral "correctness". The age of consent for sexual relations in Texas is 17 years old. Should a single person of that age be engaged in sexual relations? Probably not a good idea, and her parents, pastor, and friends would probably counsel against such choice. But, no governmental official, including a judge, should order her not to engage in legal conduct under compulsion of prison. What's next? Will Blake order probationers to go to church in order to stay out of prison? And, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she would exercise her omnipotence to instruct and direct to "the right church".
This is not an issue of politics. The newly confirmed Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts , stated that judges should be "modest" and should not make law. Judges should follow the law. Judge Blake is not only trying to "make law" but she is breaking the law. Where does she get off on controlling citizen's lawful sexual activities, right to body art, choice of clothing, and jewelry? The system has regulated the conduct of those under probation, now called community supervision, for decades. The conditions of staying out of jail such as don't commit anymore criminal acts, avoid folks with criminal records, get a job or stay in school, just for example, work well and are time tested. But, a judge's order that you have a choice - no sex, no tattoos, no piercings, etc., or you go to jail is something that we think might be the norm in Stalin's Russia or Hitler's Germany. Not in America. Not in Texas. Not in Fannin and Grayson Counties. Not now. Not ever!
Judge Blake remains unrestrained by our statutes, common law and constitution. She is a clear and present danger. She should be removed from office. What is the judicial branch doing about this rogue?
When I was 17 my parents were idiots. Now at 43 they are the smartest people on earth.
However, I did not follow the other saying, what is it something like, when you are young you are liberal minded, when you get older you become conservative. The old liberal is a dangerous thing....
Can any of you guys/gals come up with the quote I am looking for ? I cut to the chase here.
I was always right minded...(smiles)
"Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. -Sir Winston Churchill."
That is it. Thank you.
