Is there a time when Rape is not as bad?

A TEXAS judge has sentenced a confessed rapist to just five years’ probation, implying his 14-year-old victim was promiscuous and “wasn’t the victim she claimed to be”. 

Sir Young, 20, pleaded guilty to raping the girl at their Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas when he was 18, even as she told him “no” and “stop”, according to the Dallas News .

But State District Judge Jeanine Howard stunned many when she opted for probation, which will include 45 days in jail, and also exempted him from standard sex-offender restrictions, such as staying away from children, attending sex offender treatment, undergoing a sex offender evaluation or refraining from watching pornography.

Judge calls rape victim 'promiscuous'

Howard told the News she made her decision partly because medical records showed the victim had had three sexual partners and had given birth to a baby — both claims the girl has denied.

“She wasn’t the victim she claimed to be,” Howard said. “He is not your typical sex offender.

Did the judge get it right?

Of coursethe judge was wrong. What has being promiscuous or having a baby got to do with being raped? If you had a win at the races, got drunk in the pub afterwards and shouted drinks for the bar, would that mean you were not a victim if someone knocked you down and stole your wallet on the way home?

Howard told the News she made her decision partly because medical records showed the victim had had three sexual partners and had given birth to a baby — both claims the girl has denied.

The first part is no grounds for dismissing her allegations the latter part is more troubling in giving her story 100% credence
