LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A now-adult alleged victim knocked out an 80-year-old convicted sex offender in a Nevada courtroom, according to witnesses.
Richard Gross, 80, was in a Clark County district courtroom for his sentencing on Oct. 2. He was initially charged with 26 felony counts related to the alleged sexual abuse of a child. He pleaded guilty through an Alford plea to one felony count of attempted lewdness with a child under the age of 14.
An Alford plea is when a defendant does not admit to committing the crime, but enters a guilty plea because they believe there is a likelihood of a conviction.
Judge Tierra Jones sentenced Gross to a suspended sentence of 60-80 months. In a suspended sentence, a defendant is placed on probation; if probation is violated, the convicted could serve prison time.
Nexstar’s KLAS has chosen not to identify the alleged sexual abuse victim because of the nature of the circumstances.
The now-29-year-old man gave a victim impact statement in court. Once the sentencing concluded and Gross began to leave left the courtroom with his wife and attorney, the accuser stood up and punched Gross in the face, causing him to fall to the floor, an arrest report obtained by KLAS stated.
The alleged victim was arrested for misdemeanor battery.

I bet you 100% the same judge would have sentenced an Jan 6th protestor to hard time!
The 80 year old had it coming. The system takes on account of age and health of the criminal but on this case hanging it too good for him.
If the old man had done something, he can’t really expect to get away with because of his age.
26 felony counts?
The victim should have punched the idiot judge as well.
The probation agreement makes revenue for the state. A prison sentence costs the state bigly. Nothing to do with the law or justice.
LOL The jokes write themselves (Although not a joking matter)
It is alleged. Not proven. Alleged.
Do i REALLY NEED TO LOOK?
IDIOT BLACK AA HIRE!
Restorative justice
Affirmative action Marxist nut.
Are there no reputable dentists in Las Vegas?
She is demonic.
I can think of another shorter word to describe this wack of a judge. It really means the person is less than human.....in this case it fits perfectly.
Give that 29 yr old 20 years!
Sorry, so used to Hamas protests against jews.
Yes, but she doesn't have gap coverage...
“The judge sentenced them to three years in prison, and suspended the sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool, and those two bastards, they smiled at me.”
The Mafia might well get back into the justice ensuring business.
