What about her First Amendment rights?
The world turned upside down.
The judge should be jailed or impeached.
Hmmm, something does not add up here. The Judge appears to be female (although now days who really knows) and she sided with the perps in the case. That tells me that just maybe the victim had more than her fair share of the blame for what happen, more than just being stupid enough to get so drunk that she passes out. That plus the prosecutors let this be plead down to a misdemeanor suggests that this may have been more a case of after action regret and anger over videos of it being passed around than anything else. But who knows?
!
Hang em
In the way this case was worded, I think there may be more to the story.
The girl said that she was “molested”, not raped, and the boys were apparently charged with “sexual abuse”, for which Kentucky has three different charges, first, second and third degree, not rape.
http://www.lrc.ky.gov/krs/510-00/chapter.htm
Sexual abuse in the first degree is a Class D felony.
(At least one (1) but not more than five (5) years.)
Sexual abuse in the second degree is a Class A misdemeanor.
(Between ninety (90) days and twelve months.)
Sexual abuse in the third degree is a Class B misdemeanor.
(Maximum of less than ninety (90) days.)
Well, I for one am glad they were stupid because they got caught. Mutants like these cretins are on par with rappers, their portrayal of women reveals they are not men, and what’s even sadder is women who fall for these creeps and listen to such tripe as rap!
I'd hold up judgement until details are known.
“I don’t defend the perps. It appears they are not innocent. I just think there is more to this story.”
I concur that we haven’t heard their side to the story and have not been told what was recorded - but, like everyone else, we can only work with what we’re given.
If the Judge does this he should be quickly reversed. These guys pleaded to a charge. Therefore they confessed guilt.
It cannot be a crime in this country to publicly proclaim a true statement. If that happens, we are surely doomed. Just a matter of time.
Besides that the recourse when someone tells a lie about you is to sue for libel and damages.
Ditto.
I am always amazed by the idiocy of a female going off on a “date” with somebody she barely knows, if at all.
Due to the disproportion in strength, by doing so she is essentially saying, “I trust you completely to act honorably.” Yet if questioned, she would probably claim she doesn’t really have that level of trust in the guy, or at least not yet.
Look, I’m perfectly willing to agree women should be able to go anywhere and do anything without worry of being assaulted. But it is just idiotic to not recognize that they do need to worry.
And don’t get me started on the young woman who gets into a car with a group of guys she doesn’t know really well.
I wonder how the New York Post knows the boys are "sex fiends".
This episode might be nothing more than a cold-shower treatment for a passed out female.
Not arguing with your general attitude. But my wife is a social worker, and pretty conservative. Certainly not a feminist.
She, by the way, shares your general attitude towards the profession, but what do you do? I’m just saying there are exceptions even in the meddling professions
So true, thanks for the reply, I agree 100%!
Because a woman is passed out at a party, she doesn’t become free game for rape.
This is what she tweeted, which sounds like she was raped:
“Afterwards Miss Dietrich tweeted, ‘They said I can’t talk about it or I’ll be locked up... Protect rapist is more important than getting justice for the victim in Louisville.’
