This is an especially WTF statement considering that his victim committed suicide. But oh noes, the poor rapists. *eye roll*

His lawyers said he lost his career and his marriage and has the "scarlet letter of the Internet" due to the publicity surrounding the case, the Billings Gazette reported.

Oh boo fucking hoo. HE EVEN PLED GUILTY TO THE RAPE CHARGE! BY HIS OWN WORDS, HE IS A RAPIST. Why the fuck should we care about how much his poor widdle feelwings and weputation is hurt? uuuuuuugh

chaya August 28 2013, 15:05:48 UTC

Is it weird that I am especially pissed because the actual 'scarlet letter' referred to a consensual encounter between adults?

nextdrinksonme August 28 2013, 15:12:42 UTC

Both a little bit and not really, haha.

The judge should be removed for the bench.

ETA- don't read the comments at the source. A lot of victim blaming.

queer_theory August 28 2013, 15:03:23 UTC

I should have listened to you. The source comments are... just no.

the_physicist August 28 2013, 15:20:52 UTC

Unsurprising. Didn't look, I barely skimmed the article, otherwise I will smash my laptop. Also didn't want to get triggered. I was 14 when I was raped too. -_- And WTF at the judge being all like 'well, it's not your ~usual kind of rape~, but still rape! but i'm not going to treat it like it was 'real rape'. that judge is jsut... URGH.

myrrhmade August 28 2013, 18:18:59 UTC

Ugh, I'm so sorry.

Not only that, she was in a context where the person who raped her couldn't help but know her age, so there is no way he should be able to argue that it isn't relevant to sentencing.
