Judge says sexually assaulted 14-year-old 'wasn't the victim she claimed to be'

Judge says sexually assaulted 14-year-old 'wasn't the victim she claimed to be'

A man sentenced to five years probation by a Dallas County judge after admitting he raped a 14-year-old girl won’t have to follow many of the restrictions typically given to sex offenders.

And the judge who issued the light sentence said Thursday that she did so in part because the girl wasn’t a virgin and “wasn’t the victim she claimed to be.”

State District Judge Jeanine Howard, who gave 20-year-old Sir Young deferred probation last week, also altered Young’s probation requirements. As a result, Young does not have to stay away from children, attend sex offender treatment, undergo a sex offender evaluation or refrain from watching pornography.

While not required by law, these are typical probation requirements for rapists that are intended to prevent future victims and rehabilitate offenders.

District Attorney Craig Watkins said Thursday that his prosecutors would “always fight for our most vulnerable victims” like the one in this case. It is rare for prosecutors to critique a judge’s actions, but Watkins said he was “alarmed” by Howard’s decision.

“This young lady was 14 at the time she was sexually assaulted at school, and we cannot send the wrong message to rape victims who have the courage to seek justice,” Watkins said. “I am disappointed the judge would choose to give the defendant probation after he admitted guilt, but even more alarmed the judge failed to impose standard sex offender conditions of probation designed to protect society.”

Howard, a Democrat who will be unopposed in November as she seeks a third term, said in an interview late Thursday with The Dallas Morning News that she planned to recuse herself from the case so she could speak about her decision.

She was willing to have sex with him but not at her school. She met him in a music room to kiss and told him no to sex there. He went ahead anyway. He pleaded guilty.

The sentence is a joke. OTOH it is ridiculous for him to be ordered to keep away from children the rest of his life - he does not appear to be a pedophile - he raped a physically mature girl who had already had several sexual relationships and was already a mother.

Article says he was "barely 18." Not 17.

And he confessed. So there was no "he said, she said." No means no, and rape is rape.

My question was did he confess to a lesser charge vs going to trial and facing 25 years. People confess all the time to plea arrangements. The article still isn’t very clear to me.

Perhaps semantics, but I read your original post as suggesting separating 18-yr-olds from everyone else, not 9th graders from everyone else.

The latter is quite possible and often done simply by combining 7-9th in middle school.

I would stand by the former being impossible though, as 17 and 18 year olds need to be attending the same classes.

The judge might be saying she has information indicating the sex was consentual and she it was corroborated by a history of consentual sex acts.

True the article isn’t clear. That seems par in today’s “journalism”.

This Democrat has two daughters, unbelievable ............... her sensitivity is overwhewming .... hope she thinks better of her daughters than the victim.
Ah the Democrap War on Women just goes on and on.... a la Clinton. I guess I shouldn’t be too hard on her, undoubtedly she was whoring for the local Black vote.

Amuse yourself.

Find “The Maury Show’ on TV & see how many of these 14 y/o ‘girls’ already have willingly had multiple sex partners.

One ‘lady’ on that show has already had 10 men given 15 DNA tests to find the ‘fathers’ of her 2 kids. Still don’t have the right fathers.

Another 18 y/o ‘man’ was dragged onto the show for DNA test for an 18 month old child birthed by a ‘lady’ who was just under 18. If I do the math, she was about 15 when she got knocked up.

The 18 y/o ‘man’ admitted happily under all the hoopla that he already had been determined to have 17 SEVENTEEN other kids!!! This DNA test would determine his fatherhood of the 18th!!! And he is ONLY 18 himself.

Someone convince me that all these children are NOT being supported by the taxpayers.

You cannot make this stuff up.

You’re right. And as another poster said, this is a typical poorly written story in which the details are as clear as mud. I was jumping to a conclusion and I take it back.

“IMHO.. it made more sense to have middle school from grades 7-9 and high school grades 10-12. They use to have that type of arrangement in our county years ago. When you look at the incoming Freshman class vs the Senior class.. the age/maturity disparity is quite noticeable.”

I have argued exactly this point with friends of mine who on the local school board.

I have no doubt that more than one university, and the government, are studying the statistics related to problems you cite. How else would they be able to provide the necessary welfare payments?
Findings would be published but that might be racist.

I think Obama said the same thing when defending abortion.

The legal age of (sexual) consent varies from state to state, from 14 to 18. In Texas, however, it is 17 and the Romeo and Juliet exception there only applies if both parties are at least 15.

“The girl had already had a child.”

If true, and the victim has a child and she is 14, then she had to have has sex when she was 13. Either that, or she has experience another ‘virgin birth’ - but based upon her subsequent behavior I suggest a pilgrimage to her kennel bearing gifts is not called for.

This ‘victim’ had already whelped her first bastard and was none the wiser for the experience. A female judge asked a very astute question.

Not the judge asked if the victim cried during the sex incident. The judge understands the significance of the crying - no tears, time to question more carefully.

Good call, IMHO. The outrage of the professional female crowd and the Liberals confirms my opinion.

PS He was nuts for having anything to do with a 14 year old who had a child. She was obviously what was once called a slut before Fedzilla went into nationwide bastard farming.

PPS The Case Of the Nuts & Sluts seems a good closing summation.

If Obama had a son he would look like Sir Young. What the hell kind of name is that, anyway?

When Rodriguez described what happened and asked Young if that was rape, he replied:
“That’s rape. I hate to have that on my plate. But that’s rape.”

Appy,

Take another look at post 19, wherein you are given a view of the behavior of the Urban Feral females which is all too common in Pooblik Skrewl Collectives all over America.

You seem to think the Urban Feral female is acculturated as you are. They aren’t.

Culture is determinative and their culture is not only very different than yours, it is in many ways antithetical to/irreconcilable with your views.

That Urban Feral female is the walking, talking, irresponsibly breeding, ‘poison fruit’ of the Tree of Liberalism which is alive, thriving, and well tended in most classrooms in the aforementioned Collectives.

momtothree has it right.

No action taken against the ‘rapist’ will remove the damage the mother wrought with her lack of parenting.
