I was literally just about to post this

The thing that infuriates me about the suspended sentence is that he already fucked up. Usually you give someone a suspended sentence if they did something minor; you give them conditions, and if they fulfill those conditions the sentence remains suspended. But if they fuck up and don't meet the conditions, the sentence becomes valid and they go to prison.

But this shitstain was already on a conditional program and he broke SEVERAL of the conditions of that program, so this was his sentencing for THAT. It should have been much harsher and yet the judge gave him ANOTHER chance.

And I didn't know that he had been cited for touching students inappropriately - that alone should've been enough to lock him up for the 15 years.

If he was her teacher he KNEW how old she was so the bullshit 'she appears older' is BULLSHIT.

I KNOW, RIGHT?!

AbsoFUCKINGlutely!

yeah and as a teacher, he was familiar with the power difference and how immature 14-year-olds really are...he KNEW better

As well as rape when it's like a 49 year old and a 14 year needing to be seen as rape (because some assholes think it's not), there's this, which is important: "As a result of the sexual assault and its aftermath"

One reason victims like myself never spoke out is because sometimes speaking out seems like it will make things worse and i can't help but feel that sentence is revealing a lot. The way victims are treated once they speak out is often disgusting and they wouldn't be treated like that if we lived in a culture which took rape seriously. And also, she wouldn't have had to go through any of that if he hadn't fucking raped her! So yeah, he's fucking to blame for her suicide, as are any and all people who were victim blaming assholes, and I think I'd include this fucking judge as one of them probably.

fuck's sake.

If the young girl is "troubled" then if anything it makes the teacher's actions to her WORSE, not somehow excused. A student being "troubled" just highlights the power dynamic going on between, you know, AUTHORITY FIGURE versus student. It makes her MORE vulnerable, not less, and I'm seething that someone thought calling the girl troubled is a way to mitigate just how wrong the teacher's actions were.

basically. the way they tried to paint her as "troubled" was like they were making her out to be a hypersexual vixen who wooed the innocent teacher into simply doing what she wanted him to do, totes not the teacher's fault she was so seductive and sexual, she totes asked for it duhhh, totes not worth sending anyone to jail for YEAH NO. SHUT UP. Ugh... my heart goes out to her family sooo much. this man is fucking disgusting, and so it that fuckbitch of a judge.

Y'all really want to hate everything?

The judge goes all 'it wasn't rape-rape' on us:

On Tuesday, Baugh stood by his comments that Moralez was a troubled youth who was older than her age when it came to sexual matters. That didn’t make Rambold’s sex with Moralez any less of a crime, he said.

“Obviously, a 14-year-old can’t consent. I think that people have in mind that this was some violent, forcible, horrible rape,” Baugh said. “It was horrible enough as it is just given her age, but it wasn’t this forcible beat-up rape.”

STFU judge, rape is rape is rape.

[hammersxstrings]

Obviously, a 14-year-old can’t consent.

that should've been the end of his statement

“Obviously, a 14-year-old can’t consent.

You can stop there, fuckwit, that's all that is important in this case.
