TRIGGER WARNING

An asshole cop in San Antonio gets sentenced to only 1 year for raping a transgender woman.  Chances are it's happened more than once and he's not the only cop who's done this.  God only knows how many other women have been similarly assaulted. Really, what more is there to say but FFFFUUUUUUUU!

Prosecutors sought the maximum one-year sentence for the official oppression charge, which is a Class A misdemeanor.

Ugh, wow.

[sabrarosa]

I know.

It gets even worse:

Nash was arrested last February after the victim - currently serving time in a male state jail facility for prostitution - reported that she had just been held captive and raped by the officer.

At least the article is referring to her correctly, but the fact they put her in a male state jail is pretty horrifying.

Sadly, I was not surprised by that part.

Huh...a year...officer of the month....

WTF??? I don't even...

Two days after the officer's arrest, a second person came forward to say he had also been raped by the officer in 2008. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors won't pursue the second allegation, according to court documents.

Oh yeah, I bet that's a real comfort to the second victim.

This is just all kinds fucked up...

A one year sentence for rape, and they didn't even pursue the second allegation...there isn't enough D: or alcohol for this

[sabrarosa]

Exactly.
