BILLINGS, Mont. — A Montana judge on Wednesday stood by his decision to send a former teacher to prison for 30 days for raping a 14-year-old girl who later killed herself, but said he "deserved to be chastised" for his comments about the young victim.
District Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced former Billings Senior High School teacher Stacey Rambold to 15 years, then suspended all but 31 days and gave him credit for one day already served.
In handing down the sentence Monday, Baugh said the teenage victim was "older than her chronological age" and had as much control of the situation as the teacher who raped her.

He deserves to be chastised for that comment, and he deserves 20 years for the sentence he handed down.
I take it this was statutory rape?
According to this scum bag it was just boys being boys.

There are some who wonder why there are others who don’t respect the law.
A 14 year old, any 14 year old girl, doesn’t deserve to be treated like this! How she was raised, how she dressed, how she acted does not excuse a 45 year old man. It makes zero difference. Also, how did this scum wad judge know her!? Who is he to judge the girl!?
We have so many freepers cheering this kind of sentencing on all the time.
“We have so many freepers cheering this kind of sentencing on all the time.”
Huh? Can you cite even one example?

There was one on another thread that, while not “cheering the sentence”, basically was saying the rape was in large measure the young girl’s fault. Absolutely despicable.
look an ANY of the naughty teacher threads. If the sexes are reversed it is still the same thing.
Also, look at this thread and see posters who equate age of consent laws with sharia law.

They are quite vocal about what they want.
The bottom line is that, when the justice system fails, the public are left with no other option than vigilantism, or to “just lie back and enjoy being raped.”
All it will take is for somebody to obtain an appropriate, difficult to trace, weapon, and his 30-day slap on the wrist will become a death sentence. Which, if it directly achieves nothing better than the demise of a child rapist, at least it might also give this judge reflective pause before he once again turns a child rapist or other repulsive criminal loose on the public.
The Law has failed. It is up to the family and friends now.
Who?
They need to remember the judge, too. He needs to be term limited.
So are all the good citizens of Billings going to recall G. Todd? Probably not, because “it doesn’t directly affect them.” G. Todd Baugh is the poster child for what’s wrong with our legal system the country over. Personally, I don’t trust any judge who’s so full of himself/herself that he/she uses all three of his/her names. Just show’s they’re an arrogant a$$hole. That goes double for the ones with the hyphenated last names. They are saying “look at me, I’m better than the rest of you.”
You didn’t answer my question. Please reply with some FR names. Thanks
