This judge said it can’t be rape if the boy is from a good family. Now the judge has been sharply rebuked by an appeals court in a scathing ruling that warned the judge against showing bias toward privileged teenagers. And the “good boy” will now be tried as an adult.
The boy filmed himself penetrating her from behind, her torso exposed, her head hanging down. He later shared the cellphone video among friends and sent a text that said, “When your first time having sex was rape.”. The judge said it wasn’t rape.
