Weasels in Judicial Robes Can Be the Worse Kind

GOP Alternative to Bayer Aspirin to Prevent Rape
(assumes that only they hold the key to success or failure)


Updated (February 20, 2014): Posted in part from here: This will probably turn your stomach - it did mine. Cited from the piece, these two “nuggets” of total nonsense:

1.  Last year, a Louisiana parish argued that it should not be held liable for the rape of a 14-year-old girl in a juvenile detention center because the victim “consented” to be sexually assaulted by a 40-year-old corrections officer at the facility. Court documents alleged that “former guard Angelo Vickers could not have engaged in sexual relations within the walls of the detention center with the victim without cooperation from her. Vickers did not use force, violence, or intimidation when engaging in sexual relations.”

Commenting on the case, an anonymous parish official remarked that the 14-year-old should share the blame for her assault, saying, “These girls in the detention center are not Little Miss Muffin.”

2. The most-disgusting: Around that same time, Judge G. Todd Baugh said he believed that a 14-year-old student who was repeatedly raped by her 49-year-old teacher, Stacey Dean Rambold, “acted older than her age,” thus making her complicit in her rape. Judge Baugh further stated that teacher Rambold should not serve time in prison for the rapes because “he had suffered enough during his trial.

The teen victim took her own life before the case was concluded; Baugh is currently facing the prospect of being removed from the bench.
