Especially if the 'victim' may have misrepresented her age, just playing Devil's Advocate to keep this from being a one-sided verbal lynching.

In light of a recent case where a man spent 4yrs in jail after a woman falsely accused him of rape you have to step back and realize that our justice system has some major flaws in it... especially when a man was labeled a child rapist without any proof aside from an accusation.

The woman who destroyed this man's life only got a slap-on-the-wrist sentence of 2 months for what she did to this innocent man... how fucked-up is that?!

She also get's to serve her sentence, at her leisure, on weekends as not to inconvenience her life...

She ruined an innocent man's life... and i'm sure his 4yrs behind bars after being labeled a 'child rapist' were NOT pleasant. They should make her serve her sentence in a MALE prison so she can see what being raped really is!

Well, clearly the woman in that case was wrong and her sentence was too light. But that is a separate case. Wasn't the man in Montana an employee at the school the girl attended?

Possibly...

I would assume that based on the facts; but we don't know for sure, and we know even less about the actual case. That is my point.

You're so cute when you're angry.

On Wednesday, we learned that the state judge in question, district Judge G. Todd Baugh, will be resentencing the defendant, Stacey Rambold, 54, this Friday.

In an order filed Tuesday, Baugh indicated that it appeared Montana law mandates that Rambold must actually serve a minimum two-year sentence.

"In this court's opinion, imposing a sentence which suspends more than the mandatory minimum would be an illegal sentence," Baugh wrote in his order.

Evidently defense counsel asked for the lower sentence, prosecutors failed to seek the mandatory minimum, and the whole thing needs to be recalibrated.

Mission accomplished? Not really. For one thing, the sentence itself was always only partly the issue.

Baugh’s comments and the appalling way he shifted culpability from the perpetrator to the victim was the real error, and it’s not clear that resentencing alone solves that problem.

But more profoundly, everything Baugh has done since the outcry arose last week has exacerbated the situation—not just for Morales’ family, Rambold, and the immediate parties to the case, but for judges everywhere and for justice as a whole.

It’s not clear from Montana law whether Baugh had the authority to order the resentencing in the first place—this might need to be done by the prosecution on appeal and not by the judge on his own initiative.

But by doing so, he has called into question the whole principle of judicial independence. You can be very glad that this single miscarriage of justice stands to be corrected, but you should be equally worried about what this type of judicial rebooting means for the rule of law.

Montana judge, sentencing a convicted rapist for acts committed with his then-14-year-old student

There are several of those kinds of cases. I can't recall anyone getting away with that one.

Not this case, but, I live in Filthydelphia, PA, and it pisses me off royally when someone arrested, usually for murder, has 30 pages of arrests for weapons, drugs, assault, etc.

No one saw a pattern since age 15?!?

Why would u dog your own city like that? I happen to like Philly.

what it boils down to is this: what message are we sending to rapists and potential rapists when we decide that 30 days is an adequate sentence for somebody convicted of raping a child? the message is that women and girls are fair game and that nothing will happen to you when you violate us.

There's really no defending fucking a 14yr old, consensual or not.

Hopefully Stacey Rambold gets some special attention during his 30days in custody; which is likely, because men are raped over 200,000 times a year in prisons in the United States... a substantially larger number than women.

While it may not bring Cherice back, you can take some comfort in knowing that I am more likely to get raped than you are.
