Judge declares rapist INNOCENT during sentencing and says 148 days in custody is 'plenty of punishment' as victim, 16, waives anonymity: 'I woke up at my friend's place with a pillow over my face so I couldn't be heard and Drew Clinton inside of me'

--------

An Illinois judge has reversed his own decision to convict a teen accused of raping a 16-year-old girl in May, saying 148 days in custody in county jail was 'plenty of punishment.'

-------------

'By law, the court is supposed to sentence this young man to the Department of Corrections. This court will not do that. That is not just,' Judge Adrian said on January 3.

'There is no way for what happened in this case that this teenager should go to the Department of Corrections. I will not do that.'

Rather than carry out the minimum four-year sentence for sexual assault after finding Clinton guilty in an October bench trial, Judge Adrian instead ruled that the prosecutors had failed to prove their case, effectively setting Clinton, who now lives in Michigan, free.



During the trial, Judge Adrian ultimately blamed parents for what happened at the party and suggested sexual assault was only natural when parents hold 'parties for teenagers, and they allow coeds and female people to swim in their underwear in their swimming pool.'

1. My conclusion: the judge is a rapist, too

2. he definitely is pro rape

3. Great minds and all that...I had the exact same reaction as I was reading the article.

I could just see the judge's mind working overtime. "Been there, done that!"

The kid is probably from a wealthy family, as well.

10. Sounds like the parents have a pool...

And let their kid have parties with alcohol... affluenza.

5. His picture should be plastered everywhere.

That’s some set of dimples he’s got.

6. So much for sentencing guidelines and Judicial review? Not to mention his Bar status.

[Takket]

7. Oh really judge.

Show me where the law says you can rape a person based on what they are wearing. I can’t believe it is 2022 and “the victim should expect to be raped if they dress sexily” is still a think.

Judge should be thrown off the bench.

11. Agreed

You said it all.

8. A future Supreme Court Justice?

Bet he can't remember a thing. . . and likes beer.

[MissMillie]

9. Well, one thing is for sure...

... a sentence like that isn't going to teach the kid anything.

He'll rape again for sure.

13. The Rapist Enabler

May the next young lady that is in the vicinity of Drew Clinton RUN LIKE HELL, and always have an escort when around him. He has Brett K written all over him. So, I guess his future is secured.
