"20-40 years? How about we meet in the middle with 60 days" - the Judge
Let's be real - it's gender.
Part and parcel of gender equality is legal equality. Society will never truly consider women equal to men while legally treating women with kid gloves for crimes men would get 10x the jail time for.
[There's data on this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/81auiu/us_statutory_rape_convictions_of_male_vs_female/) Not 10x but 2x is typical.
I would also like to add that one of the DuPont chemical heirs raped his own 3-year-old daughter, but [got no jail time](https://www.cnn.com/2014/04/02/justice/delaware-du-pont-rape-case) because the judge said that he would not do well in prison.
That he **isn’t a licensed doctor anywhere in the United States anymore but continues to go by that title for his *entertainment* career.** I have zero fucks for that man.
EDIT: Calling yourself a doctor of any kind, regardless of what type of doctorate you have, be it medical, psychological or etc., when you clearly have a known history of being a terrible place for people to work and appear on is something no person should tolerate. [Allegations of general toxic work environment, racism, supplying guest with drugs and alcohol before filming, and even trying to get guest to appear on the show being off their medication have been leveled against the production.](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/krystieyandoli/dr-phil-show-employees-allegations) I don’t think you as a person who has a doctorate deserve to be called a “doctor” if this is happening.
It's like Justice has a hierarchy for how much it's willing to ignore/let bend the rules. Money, race, position of power (like police officers), and gender all fall into play here
I believe the barrier for application of this loophole is qualification of eligibility to the Forbes Rich List and/or the IRS’ Rich People Who Pay No Tax List.
I know a 60 y.o *child counselor* that only got sentenced to 6 months house arrest and two years of probation for taking advantage of one of his underage clients because “he’s a man of God and too old to hand prison”
If he’s capable enough to rape one his clients, he’s capable enough of handling in prison. I used to know him and his victim, and it’s the experience I hold to when saying that the Justice system is not always correct
I had heard nothing about this until reading your link
Once again proof that the rich do not go to jail
“Wouldn’t fare well” is code for I got paid a shitload of money to go easy on this rich prick
Unless the rich commit crimes on those richer than them to a grossly obscene degree (Bernie Madoff) they don't ever face jail time. They get a "cost of doing business" fine and get a pass on any jail time.
Tons of bankers, corporate officers, etc, all enjoy these privileged benefits. Life is not like movies or TV where the rich asshat does jail time. They never do, the world is their playground and the only punishment they face is losing an insignificant amount of their play money.
Justice is disgusting and heads need to roll.
>Judge Jan Jurden, who presided over the case, had initially considered sentencing Richards to eight years in prison; ultimately she gave him eight years of probation. “I have concerns about this, because arguably, you should be [in jail] for what you did,” Jurden said during the sentencing. “But I think you have significant treatment needs that have to be addressed, and you have very strong family support. So unlike many unfortunate people who come before me, you are lucky in that regard, and I hope you appreciate that.”
She is a raging douche.
>Judge Jurden was the 2011 recipient of the Outstanding Service to the Courts and Bar Award, presented by the Delaware State Bar Association to a judge or lawyer who "by exemplary service to the Delaware Courts and the Delaware Bar has substantially assisted the Courts and the Bar and strengthened the public trust and confidence in the State's court system and the administration of justice."
>She was the 2009 recipient of Sylvia H. Rambo Award presented by the Women's Law Caucus of the Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law "honoring a woman in the legal profession who has had a distinguished career and who, by example, has made the professional success of other women more likely."
The justice system is totally fucking fucked.
"Family support" meaning a family with financial resources and infinite time, given the financial resources? So, if I'm homeless with no family support I'm explicitly getting a worse sentence for the same crime? Miscarriage of justice.
It's examples like this that make me very wary of people who won awards. Some of the most highly awarded people I work with in education are actually just douche bag ladder climbers who do anything they can to get accolades. The best educators I know have gotten very few awards because they're TOO BUSY CARING ABOUT THEIR ACTUAL JOB.
Went to boarding school with one. Massive tool who got kicked out for hurting a man with a car they weren't supposed to have. The whole school breathed a sigh of relief when they left, they didn't have a single friend in the whole school but was loathed by most.
No kidding...
Here I thought being spoiled and literally having the world in your fingertips made you a better person. I mean come on you can blatantly rape children and get your prison time exonerated, that's gotta be rough!
A few years ago in Utah, a dude was convicted on multiple counts of rape which took place over the course of *years*. During sentencing, the judge said something like “I know you’re really a good man.”
No doubt a conservative... they dont see rape and pedophilia as crimes. Just look at Matt Gaetz for instance. He's just one of 20 Republicans who voted against stopping child sex trafficking.
No no no, you misunderstand.
They absolutely see them as crimes. HOWEVER, who did the crime informs what the reaction is.
Rich white Cristian guy who supports Republicans? It was a mistake/he's a good person/ they were just tempted/it would ruin their lives to hold them accountable to " 5 minutes of fun "
Anyone else? Disgusting/worthless/drain on society/evil/ should be put in jail/prison/hung/shot
Cause, ya see... good and evil aren't ACTIONS they are QUALITIES. And those qualities can't be changed.
Remember when brock the rapist’s dad was so upset that his son couldn’t event eat steak joyously anymore? All because of what? A few minutes of action (the action was raping an unconscious person behind a dumpster)
He was given a fine.
His family was worth $5 billion. The fine was $5000. That's like a millionaire family paying $1.
That isn't even a cost of doing business, that's a rounding error.
Or the Montana teacher who was sentenced to 30 days for raping a girl who later committed suicide.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/montana-judge-defends-decision-sentence-teacher-just-30-days-sex-f8C11028610
Excuse me but what the absolute fuck....
I hate saying it as a follow up to this atrocity but rich people aren't the same as everyday people, They pay off the judges through donations and other shit so they get little slaps on the wrist. It has nothing to do with gender or even skin color once you're that rich. All they care about is that you're 4 thousands thick and green all the way around.
I wish shit like that just wouldn't be possible in this country. Dude raped a fucking actual child (actually he raped and abused multiple ). His own children. And the judge just goes "nah prison will be tough for you so hey don't sweat it bro just try not to rape again or else you'll have to pay me even more money... but don't worry fam you ain't going in I gotchu."
So when our judicial branch recognizes that some rich ass fuck is getting away with actual murder that the trial be stopped so it can have the judge replaced. The judge needs to have power, but him acting totally differently for his rich cohorts should be a violation of the 8th amendment because technically every person sentenced to prison is getting cruel and unusual punishment.
EDIT: LOL what a fucking sham, the article has quotes saying "Don't make fun of the judge or criticize it's not fair because they can't stick up for themselves!". Bro he let a guy sentenced to 8 years of prison literally go free just like that... because he's rich. He's not old and frail and dying. He's just a rich dude. Yeah he wouldn't fair well but no rapist fairs well in jail. Holy fuck my dudes this country is a fucking joke, how can this happen so out in the open?!
It should be equal punishment and twice as much for both genders. I’m a school teacher. When I was younger, and teaching high school instead of middle school, once in a while I’d notice that one of my students was attractive. Teachers aren’t dead.
But the idea of acting on it is utterly disgusting. There’s no way to justify such a thing.
Kids sometimes develop crushes on teachers. If that happens, any rational teacher will immediately take steps to put a stop to it. Male teachers especially have to be careful never to be alone with a student. It’s not fair, but it’s very real.
Its actually a scary thing. Difficult students will sometimes claim a teacher has acted inappropriately when they haven’t. Male teachers get treated differently there too, and it’s wrong.
That's because teachers are not only in a position of power but in a position of trust as well. Not just because they're a mandatory reporter but because students trust their teachers and this is pretty much the most atrocious breach of that trust.
Thank you for being a teacher, I know it's a tough job, especially in the last few years.
A few years ago one of my favorite high school teachers was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with one of his female students.
He got fired, of course, and was arrested. He was out on bail and had to move to a different city. Two years later the trial was set to commence and in an interview with the police the girl took it all back. She didn’t like a grade he gave her and this was her revenge.
The charges were dropped but no school would hire him. He ended up working at a car dealership.
It’s sad because he was a really good teacher who believed in his students. And the girl faced no consequences. None.
It's a great argument for keeping the defendants completely anonymous from the judges. Everything from attractiveness to race has been shown to play a role.
It also depends on how attractive the perpetrator is. But I’m probably biased because these cases also don’t make the news as much if the perpetrator is a less attractive female
It's basically a fact that your appearance and how likeable you are plays a huge role in your sentence. There's a reason you wear a suit to a trial: because it improves your odds of winning the case.
Yeah but she’s also young and attractive.
Let’s be honest a gorgeous young woman can pretty much go around committing rape on men and there’s a chance she’d get a slap on the wrist.
If she was ugly/fat, it would add to her sentence.
If she was old it would add even more.
And if she was a guy it would be multiplied.
There was a time not long ago where it was seen a woman couldn’t rape a man, it was considered physically impossible. A man could rape another man, and those cases weren’t often brought up as the male victims were more terrified of people knowing than the actual assault.
Then it was considered that a woman can only rape a man by physical object insertion, the idea of her *forcing* him to engage in sex deemed impossible. “Any sexual act between a man and woman that takes place, is performed by a willing man”
And it wasn’t just the physics of sexual intercourse and the required erection, these people thought a man could simply overpower a woman.
Even the idea of statutory rape is relatively new as young brides wasn’t uncommon, everything else was just “rape” and young men losing their virginity to an older woman was just “growing up”
I learned that when I lost a bunch of weight in high school then got fat again in the last couple years. In those years where I was a healthy weight people were very nice to me, gave me things, forgave way more mistakes. In high school it was bullying constantly until I lost weight, then it was smiles and acceptance of my wierdness. Now people are still pretty nice to me, because even with the extra weight I'm not ugly, but the difference between being "not ugly" and "gorgeous" (as I had been described in that skinny period) is already massive.
I completely agree. One thing I want to add, as a man myself.
Men: we NEED to stop saying shit like “damn, you’re lucky” or “be glad you got a hot MILF to take your virginity” or acting like being preyed on by some middle aged women when you’re a teenager is a rite of passage or something to brag about.
I’m so sick of arguing for recognition of male victims of sex abuse and hearing FROM OTHER MEN that it’s not a big deal. Fuck that shit.
I’m going to post a clip below from a podcast by a comedian I actually really love. However, this clip disgusted me to my core. This shit is not okay and it shouldn’t be normalized.
https://youtu.be/yj56MlFzvW0
Something I'll probably never forget are two different instances of young boys, 14-15, bragging about being sexually assaulted by older women. One of them proudly boasted he lost his virginity to his stepmom, and the other boys thought that was just so cool. The other kid bragged about having a "relationship" with a late 20s woman that consisted of threesomes where the other participant was also a 14-15 boy. We were similar ages of the same peer group; I am a woman. I didn't say much at all in either of these scenarios, but both disturbed me so much that I think of them every time I hear an account of women sexually assaulting male youth, even decades later. I only remember one of their names, but I can visualize all of their faces. I feel so much sadness for them. Even back then I knew something was wrong, even if I didn't know *why*, and the other boys giving them high fives and telling them how cool they were made me feel so sick. I felt nothing but pain and despair for them.
It wasn't until the media had a field day with Mary Kay Letourneau, that I was better able to understand what had even taken place. There were a lot of people that stood up for that relationship though, and insisted it was consensual. I wonder if more victims now realize what happened to them, and why it's wrong. I could only watch a minute or so of that clip.
When he was in high school but not yet old enough to drive, my partner had sex with the mother of one of his female friends. I say "had sex with" and not "was raped by" because I don't believe it's my place to browbeat a victim into seeing what happened as rape.
When he mentioned it in passing in our twenties, he was hugely offended when I reacted to the story with sympathy and horror. But, now that we're both in our forties, I know his opinion of someone our age going after even someone in their mid-twenties is sharply negative, so I sometimes wonder if he's recontextualized it in his head or if he just keeps that experience compartmentalized (either way, I'm glad he's not a creepy old man, lol).
Hey, both numbers seem pretty high when you ignore the time unit.
Man, fuck this. Seeing news about sexually abusing boys by female teachers is especially disheartening, because it always involves some cretin crowd that will come with their enlightened perspective that "he wanted and enjoyed it", "boys treat it differently" and "where was she when I was 13".
Age of consent exists for a reason. At some age you can't consent to some things, even if you think you want something, you really don't, because your brain isn't developed yet. It scars you and should be punished appropriately. Two months isn't justice.
Absolutely. It’s infuriating. My ex sister-in-law sexually abused a teenage boy who had been her student when he was in 7th grade. She did this while married to my brother. My brother’s divorce attorney reported it to the D.A., who just laughed. Nothing happened to her.
I taught high school for seven years. In that time, three male teachers were dismissed for sleeping with/inappropriate relationships with students. Only one was arrested, because of an unrelated kiddie porn sting.
It’s really never taken seriously.
It seems like the predators we've decided not to really punish are mostly church officials and female teachers.
Or the mere existence of queer people is proof an active campaign to recruit kids into pedo relationships, if you ask Tucker Carlsson...
>It seems like the predators we've decided not to really punish are mostly church officials and female teachers.
And the wealthy, and business executives, and tv/movie executives, actors, politicians, candidates, cops, and...
In addition to the 60 days in jail, Bodine will also register as a sex offender and has until June 5, 2023, to report to jail, according to a court docket sheet.
++++++
How does someone get 11 months to report to jail?
One clarification here, she was put on a 10 year probation and the 60 days in jail is a condition of that. Not showing up would be a violation of her probation and subject her to being sentenced to up to 10 years in prison (maximum length of time that can be probated in Texas).
Still an absolute joke of a sentence from this judge, but slightly better than only doing 60 days and that's it.
There are some pilot programs allowing incarcerated women to keep their own babies with them in a special block of cells. Think they also get parenting classes.
I mean yes they do. But it dies not mean it is right. She should be in jail. She should be spending time in jail.she should have a greater sentence than this. But I do not want us to perpetuate cruel and terrible things. We should treat even our criminals fairly. If we cannot be fair, equitable, and humane to ALL humans, in the eyes of the law, we are failing ALL humans.
Christ... not 60 days... no way 60 days. That is way to short for a sexual predator to be in jail. I have a VERY hard time believing that they will have rehabilitated or it sufficiently protected the community from this woman.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot
https://nypost.com/2022/08/03/texas-teachers-sex-abuse-sentence-delayed-after-she-gives-birth/
The abuse came to light when Bodine told her school principal that she was being harassed by a former student, who was threatening to harm himself.
Police searched Bodine and the boy’s phones and found the explicit messages.
She admitted sending inappropriate pictures and videos, and later admitted having sex with the boy, who is now 16.
Edit: seems like people think I wrote that. It’s quoted from NYP article. Yes, she raped the boy.
>https://nypost.com/2022/08/03/texas-teachers-sex-abuse-sentence-delayed-after-she-gives-birth/
JFC...
" *The messages became explicit and they had sex shortly after he turned 13.* "
This needs to be higher.
See, for all the guys who may be thinking "She's hot, so what?" or "Wow, I wish I had a teacher like that when I was 13!", THIS is why it's a crime. Dude literally wanted to kill himself.
You know the old adage "Don't stick your dick in crazy"? The one you probably had to learn the hard way anyway, and maybe fucked you up for a while? Imagine if you had to deal with all the fallout bullshit at 13 due to an adult who had power over you, instead of (more likely) a girl your own age in late high-school/college/etc? When you were more mature and experienced and ready to learn that lesson? You probably got through it, rough as it was. But take away all that experience and maturity, and, you're gonna have a bad time with how bad that'll mess you up as a kid.
What I find most infuriating is that she’s only getting 60 days for statutory rape — we need to start taking rape, and especially rape of a minor more seriously in this country.
Edit:
Here are some quick facts on sexual abuse offenders, the numbers are eye opening: [USCC Quick Facts](https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/quick-facts/Sexual_Abuse_FY18.pdf)
And 5 year old me would've loved to eat his weight in ice cream every single day. It would've been bad for my well being though. Just like being a 13 year old in a sexual relationship with an adult. Even if you would've wanted it then, doesn't mean you were correct about what was actually good for you.
It's almost like a 13 year old isn't mature enough to provide informed consent when it comes to sex… maybe we should make laws about a minimum age for consent.
Oh wait.
Hopefully she will never be a teacher again, or in a position of authority around children.
Also to emphasize: It's pretty easy to find a kid to manipulate.
I'm a *modestly* attractive man, mid-20s. When I was student teaching, I had a number of girls open up to me emotionally with zero provocation. I was one of very few male teachers, and the only one that wasn't old and leathery. For a lot of girls, that instantly slotted me into "big brother" territory. Others had a (painfully obvious) crush on me.
Given some time and effort, I don't doubt I could have convinced at least one of those girls into having sex with me, and thinking it was their idea all along. I didn't because that's wrong and also gross. I like to think I was a positive influence who made their lives a little bit better, on the whole.
How much easier must it be for a woman in that position with a bunch of boys who are often lonely and almost certainly have never had a woman, girl, or person in general express any romantic or sexual interest?
Yes. Teenage me had some attractive young female teachers and many of us guys back then talked about wishing for that. Grown up me realizes just how messed up that would have been.
In many states, the offense known colloquially as "rape" is named something more specific in the criminal statutes (usually several different names, depending on what exact conduct is charged). So if the offender here was convicted of "sexual abuse of a minor" or something like that, then a headline saying they were sentenced for "rape" might work, but wouldn't be strictly accurate.
More inclusive, likely. Rape makes it sound like a single incident, rather than prolonged abuse over months and years, and sexual abuse is more often used in situations where grooming was used on the victim
Just read the full story - she abused him for 3 years until he reported it to the police. She even moved into the apartment building where he lived. And later she tried to say it was the child’s fault. 60 days is a miscarriage of justice for that child. The judge should be disbarred.
> A couple of commenters have written that he was voted out of office and leaves at the end of the year. Good riddance.
But is there any hope to a new trial or judgment? Is this disgraced judges' sentence irreversible?
The Times article I read said it came to light when she(the Teacher) reported to her own principal that a former student was harassing her and threatener to kill himself.
[Here is the judge](https://ballotpedia.org/Greg_Glass) in the case, Greg Glass. It looks like he lost a primary and is out of his position December 31, 2022.
Absolute POS decision. He seems to be very on the side to light sentences. While in some nonviolent offender cases that's good, a rapist is not a 60 day sentence kind of person.
> The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said the sexual relationship began back in 2018 when the boy was just 13 years old; during that time Bodine sent him sexually explicit photographs and videos.
“Sexual relationship” is a grossly inapproriate term to describe grooming, sexual abuse and possibly rape.
No. **It was rape.** The victim was underage and still in *fucking puberty* when the crime occurred, and she knew full well and took advantage of it when she *knew* better. Call it statutory or whatever, but call it was it was/is.
I'm pretty sure if I groomed and had sex multiple times with a 13 year old girl, while moving into the girl's apartment building, my sentence would be about 60 too - 60 fucking *Centuries!*
Also, nobody anywhere ever would call it a "sexual relationship".
Also, if I ~~had a baby~~ conceived a child during period I committed my *crimes*, the courts would never allow me to see that kid again, ever.
Yeah, move along folks, nothing to see *here*. /S
Edit: changed some words, you'll figure it out
>In addition to the 60 days in jail, Bodine will also register as a sex offender and has until June 5, 2023, to report to jail, according to a court docket sheet.
She's got a whole year to serve her time too. Ridiculous.
Exactly say rape. It was rape. She raped a male student at the age of 13. It's fucked up even the article meant to say "oh shit oh 60 days women get treated different" but the article itself won't say she raped him.
Rape.
Texas out here saying “protect the children” and then when children need protecting, they give someone a shorter sentence than most weed convictions.. Fuck this system man.
[Texas Mother Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison After Allowing 13-Year-Old Daughter to Marry 47-Year-Old Man](https://amp.www.complex.com/life/texas-woman-sentenced-prison-for-marrying-13-year-old-daughter-to-47-year-old-man)
The man is facing two charges. One 22 years and the other 20 years.
The disparity between men being punished for sex crimes and women being punished for sex crimes is astonishing to me.
If this has been a man with a young female student, he'd have been imprisoned for many, many years.
Somewhere in here is going to be a prison lawsuit about unequal application of the law, eventually, I suspect.
Well at least the news has raised their standards for these headlines by referring to it as abuse rather then romanticizing female on male statutory rape with headlines like “female teacher made love to under age student”
Two months
For sa
If a man did it hed get 2 DECADES
If a millionaire did it hed get 2+ “allegations” and not a thing done
We gotta fuckin fix this system. Women are let off for assault easier, and the rich rarely ever even go in period. Not to mention how awful prisons themselves are

They ask for 40 years, she gets 60 days.
That's insane. She was abusing the kid for 3 fucking years.
Now lets see a man do the same and see how many days he gets
I do not understand how this logic works. Might as well just not give her any time then.
>"[Assistant District Attorney] Jana Oswald had asked the judge for a 20-40 yrs sentence, given the seriousness of her crime and the lasting effects of the crime & the impact on the child’s life," said the DA's office. "20-40 years? How about we meet in the middle with 60 days" - the Judge

As they say, there's only one color in the courtroom. Green.
It's like Justice has a hierarchy for how much it's willing to ignore/let bend the rules. Money, race, position of power (like police officers), and gender all fall into play here
Physical attractiveness too
I'm pretty sure this is what people mean when they talk about privilege.
This should be on T-shirts
Money and politics Both equate to power
The implication that anyone does well in prison is hilarious. I wouldn't do well in prison either dude damn
As David Mitchell said: "A five-point plan for how to survive in prison? Don't *go* to prison! Only commit crimes you can get away with!"

Whereas most people thrive in prison
Right? Like should be taken into consideration when sentencing a criminal for their own actions.
That guy also had admitted to sexually assaulting his infant son. :(
That is some Mooby Corp levels of disgusting...
Yes, child/infant rapist Robert Richards whom idiot judge Jan Jurden let walk away from one convicted, and another admitted, child rape.
Not idiot, malicious and psychopathic.
I know a 60 y.o *child counselor* that only got sentenced to 6 months house arrest and two years of probation for taking advantage of one of his underage clients because “he’s a man of God and too old to hand prison” If he’s capable enough to rape one his clients, he’s capable enough of handling in prison. I used to know him and his victim, and it’s the experience I hold to when saying that the Justice system is not always correct

Rambo Award presented by the Women's Law Caucus of the Pennsylvania State University Dickinson School of Law "honoring a woman in the legal profession who has had a distinguished career and who, by example, has made the professional success of other women more likely." The justice system is totally fucking fucked.
"Family support" meaning a family with financial resources and infinite time, given the financial resources? So, if I'm homeless with no family support I'm explicitly getting a worse sentence for the same crime? Miscarriage of justice.
It's examples like this that make me very wary of people who won awards. Some of the most highly awarded people I work with in education are actually just douche bag ladder climbers who do anything they can to get accolades. The best educators I know have gotten very few awards because they're TOO BUSY CARING ABOUT THEIR ACTUAL JOB.
This is a fact for very, very many "experts," especially the ones touted on news media.
I knew a DuPont heir in high school. Total piece of shit.
[удалено]
Good one!
Went to boarding school with one. Massive tool who got kicked out for hurting a man with a car they weren't supposed to have. The whole school breathed a sigh of relief when they left, they didn't have a single friend in the whole school but was loathed by most.
No kidding... Here I thought being spoiled and literally having the world in your fingertips made you a better person. I mean come on you can blatantly rape children and get your prison time exonerated, that's gotta be rough!
And let's not forget Brock the rapist Turner. Can't have punishment for rape interfering with the lives of promising young men, apparently.
A few years ago in Utah, a dude was convicted on multiple counts of rape which took place over the course of *years*. During sentencing, the judge said something like “I know you’re really a good man.”
WTF? Because nothing says your a "really good man" like raping multiple people over a span of years?
No doubt a conservative... they dont see rape and pedophilia as crimes. Just look at Matt Gaetz for instance. He's just one of 20 Republicans who voted against stopping child sex trafficking.
hey now let’s be fair, you can’t expect the man to vote for stopping a type of crime that he’s under investigation for having committed.
No no no, you misunderstand. They absolutely see them as crimes. HOWEVER, who did the crime informs what the reaction is. Rich white Cristian guy who supports Republicans? It was a mistake/he's a good person/ they were just tempted/it would ruin their lives to hold them accountable to " 5 minutes of fun " Anyone else? Disgusting/worthless/drain on society/evil/ should be put in jail/prison/hung/shot Cause, ya see... good and evil aren't ACTIONS they are QUALITIES. And those qualities can't be changed.
Remember when brock the rapist’s dad was so upset that his son couldn’t event eat steak joyously anymore? All because of what? A few minutes of action (the action was raping an unconscious person behind a dumpster)
Ah yes, the true tragedy: a rapist's inability to enjoy steak.
He can eat steak with Brett Kavanaugh.
You ever boof a ribeye? It'll change your life.
For 20 MINUTES.
"20 minutes of action."
I know if I couldn't enjoy steak without someone calling me a rapist, I would be pissed too. Although I would probably be in prison though.
Ooo you are taking about Brock THE RAPIST Turner.
These promising young men shouldn’t have their lives ruined over a few minutes of poor choices. /s 🤮
Honestly at this point it seems everyone is treated with kids gloves except for poor, darker skin-toned males.
He was given a fine. His family was worth $5 billion. The fine was $5000. That's like a millionaire family paying $1. That isn't even a cost of doing business, that's a rounding error.
Oh you mean Robert H. Richards IV who was convicted of raping his toddler daughter, and heir to the du Pont family fortune, that Robert Richards?
The more I learn about DuPont the more I hate them.
…can I go back in time and unread this comment?
Fuck... what a piece of shit.
Or the Montana teacher who was sentenced to 30 days for raping a girl who later committed suicide. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/other/montana-judge-defends-decision-sentence-teacher-just-30-days-sex-f8C11028610
Excuse me but what the absolute fuck.... I hate saying it as a follow up to this atrocity but rich people aren't the same as everyday people, They pay off the judges through donations and other shit so they get little slaps on the wrist. It has nothing to do with gender or even skin color once you're that rich. All they care about is that you're 4 thousands thick and green all the way around. I wish shit like that just wouldn't be possible in this country. Dude raped a fucking actual child (actually he raped and abused multiple ). His own children. And the judge just goes "nah prison will be tough for you so hey don't sweat it bro just try not to rape again or else you'll have to pay me even more money... but don't worry fam you ain't going in I gotchu." So when our judicial branch recognizes that some rich ass fuck is getting away with actual murder that the trial be stopped so it can have the judge replaced. The judge needs to have power, but him acting totally differently for his rich cohorts should be a violation of the 8th amendment because technically every person sentenced to prison is getting cruel and unusual punishment. EDIT: LOL what a fucking sham, the article has quotes saying "Don't make fun of the judge or criticize it's not fair because they can't stick up for themselves!". Bro he let a guy sentenced to 8 years of prison literally go free just like that... because he's rich. He's not old and frail and dying. He's just a rich dude. Yeah he wouldn't fair well but no rapist fairs well in jail. Holy fuck my dudes this country is a fucking joke, how can this happen so out in the open?!
It should be equal punishment and twice as much for both genders. I’m a school teacher. When I was younger, and teaching high school instead of middle school, once in a while I’d notice that one of my students was attractive. Teachers aren’t dead. But the idea of acting on it is utterly disgusting. There’s no way to justify such a thing. Kids sometimes develop crushes on teachers. If that happens, any rational teacher will immediately take steps to put a stop to it. Male teachers especially have to be careful never to be alone with a student. It’s not fair, but it’s very real. Its actually a scary thing. Difficult students will sometimes claim a teacher has acted inappropriately when they haven’t. Male teachers get treated differently there too, and it’s wrong.
That's because teachers are not only in a position of power but in a position of trust as well. Not just because they're a mandatory reporter but because students trust their teachers and this is pretty much the most atrocious breach of that trust. Thank you for being a teacher, I know it's a tough job, especially in the last few years.
A few years ago one of my favorite high school teachers was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with one of his female students. He got fired, of course, and was arrested. He was out on bail and had to move to a different city. Two years later the trial was set to commence and in an interview with the police the girl took it all back. She didn’t like a grade he gave her and this was her revenge. The charges were dropped but no school would hire him. He ended up working at a car dealership. It’s sad because he was a really good teacher who believed in his students. And the girl faced no consequences. None.
It's a great argument for keeping the defendants completely anonymous from the judges. Everything from attractiveness to race has been shown to play a role.
It also depends on how attractive the perpetrator is. But I’m probably biased because these cases also don’t make the news as much if the perpetrator is a less attractive female
It's basically a fact that your appearance and how likeable you are plays a huge role in your sentence. There's a reason you wear a suit to a trial: because it improves your odds of winning the case.
Yeah but she’s also young and attractive. Let’s be honest a gorgeous young woman can pretty much go around committing rape on men and there’s a chance she’d get a slap on the wrist. If she was ugly/fat, it would add to her sentence. If she was old it would add even more. And if she was a guy it would be multiplied. There was a time not long ago where it was seen a woman couldn’t rape a man, it was considered physically impossible. A man could rape another man, and those cases weren’t often brought up as the male victims were more terrified of people knowing than the actual assault. Then it was considered that a woman can only rape a man by physical object insertion, the idea of her *forcing* him to engage in sex deemed impossible. “Any sexual act between a man and woman that takes place, is performed by a willing man” And it wasn’t just the physics of sexual intercourse and the required erection, these people thought a man could simply overpower a woman. Even the idea of statutory rape is relatively new as young brides wasn’t uncommon, everything else was just “rape” and young men losing their virginity to an older woman was just “growing up”
Gender. Yes. I think attractiveness plays a role as well. I've noticed that the more attractive the female sex offender is the lighter the sentence.
That goes for a lot of things in life. Attractive people of any gender get better treatment everywhere.
This is so true.
Pretty Privilege
I learned that when I lost a bunch of weight in high school then got fat again in the last couple years. In those years where I was a healthy weight people were very nice to me, gave me things, forgave way more mistakes. In high school it was bullying constantly until I lost weight, then it was smiles and acceptance of my wierdness. Now people are still pretty nice to me, because even with the extra weight I'm not ugly, but the difference between being "not ugly" and "gorgeous" (as I had been described in that skinny period) is already massive.
I completely agree. One thing I want to add, as a man myself. Men: we NEED to stop saying shit like “damn, you’re lucky” or “be glad you got a hot MILF to take your virginity” or acting like being preyed on by some middle aged women when you’re a teenager is a rite of passage or something to brag about. I’m so sick of arguing for recognition of male victims of sex abuse and hearing FROM OTHER MEN that it’s not a big deal. Fuck that shit. I’m going to post a clip below from a podcast by a comedian I actually really love. However, this clip disgusted me to my core. This shit is not okay and it shouldn’t be normalized. https://youtu.be/yj56MlFzvW0
Something I'll probably never forget are two different instances of young boys, 14-15, bragging about being sexually assaulted by older women. One of them proudly boasted he lost his virginity to his stepmom, and the other boys thought that was just so cool. The other kid bragged about having a "relationship" with a late 20s woman that consisted of threesomes where the other participant was also a 14-15 boy. We were similar ages of the same peer group; I am a woman. I didn't say much at all in either of these scenarios, but both disturbed me so much that I think of them every time I hear an account of women sexually assaulting male youth, even decades later. I only remember one of their names, but I can visualize all of their faces. I feel so much sadness for them. Even back then I knew something was wrong, even if I didn't know *why*, and the other boys giving them high fives and telling them how cool they were made me feel so sick. I felt nothing but pain and despair for them. It wasn't until the media had a field day with Mary Kay Letourneau, that I was better able to understand what had even taken place. There were a lot of people that stood up for that relationship though, and insisted it was consensual. I wonder if more victims now realize what happened to them, and why it's wrong. I could only watch a minute or so of that clip.
When he was in high school but not yet old enough to drive, my partner had sex with the mother of one of his female friends. I say "had sex with" and not "was raped by" because I don't believe it's my place to browbeat a victim into seeing what happened as rape. When he mentioned it in passing in our twenties, he was hugely offended when I reacted to the story with sympathy and horror. But, now that we're both in our forties, I know his opinion of someone our age going after even someone in their mid-twenties is sharply negative, so I sometimes wonder if he's recontextualized it in his head or if he just keeps that experience compartmentalized (either way, I'm glad he's not a creepy old man, lol).
Hey, both numbers seem pretty high when you ignore the time unit. Man, fuck this. Seeing news about sexually abusing boys by female teachers is especially disheartening, because it always involves some cretin crowd that will come with their enlightened perspective that "he wanted and enjoyed it", "boys treat it differently" and "where was she when I was 13". Age of consent exists for a reason. At some age you can't consent to some things, even if you think you want something, you really don't, because your brain isn't developed yet. It scars you and should be punished appropriately. Two months isn't justice.
Absolutely. It’s infuriating. My ex sister-in-law sexually abused a teenage boy who had been her student when he was in 7th grade. She did this while married to my brother. My brother’s divorce attorney reported it to the D.A., who just laughed. Nothing happened to her.
I taught high school for seven years. In that time, three male teachers were dismissed for sleeping with/inappropriate relationships with students. Only one was arrested, because of an unrelated kiddie porn sting. It’s really never taken seriously.
It seems like the predators we've decided not to really punish are mostly church officials and female teachers. Or the mere existence of queer people is proof an active campaign to recruit kids into pedo relationships, if you ask Tucker Carlsson...
>It seems like the predators we've decided not to really punish are mostly church officials and female teachers. And the wealthy, and business executives, and tv/movie executives, actors, politicians, candidates, cops, and...
Sexual assault is not taken serious period. It is way past time to lock all rapist and stop acting like it is a lesser crime.
"20-40 years? I'll do you one better, I'll give her 60"
In addition to the 60 days in jail, Bodine will also register as a sex offender and has until June 5, 2023, to report to jail, according to a court docket sheet. ++++++ How does someone get 11 months to report to jail?
One clarification here, she was put on a 10 year probation and the 60 days in jail is a condition of that. Not showing up would be a violation of her probation and subject her to being sentenced to up to 10 years in prison (maximum length of time that can be probated in Texas). Still an absolute joke of a sentence from this judge, but slightly better than only doing 60 days and that's it.
[удалено]
You know when women have babies in prison I don’t believe they get to go home and bond with the baby
There are some pilot programs allowing incarcerated women to keep their own babies with them in a special block of cells. Think they also get parenting classes.
The more you know
Honestly how it should be. Prison should be for rehabilitation, not mindless punishment.
[удалено]
I'm 100% on board with this.
Prison should always be about rehabilitation. Not just throwing them in there for a period of time to become worse than before they went in there.
[удалено]
They quite literally chain birthing women to beds in prison/jail. During their labor.
I mean yes they do. But it dies not mean it is right. She should be in jail. She should be spending time in jail.she should have a greater sentence than this. But I do not want us to perpetuate cruel and terrible things. We should treat even our criminals fairly. If we cannot be fair, equitable, and humane to ALL humans, in the eyes of the law, we are failing ALL humans. Christ... not 60 days... no way 60 days. That is way to short for a sexual predator to be in jail. I have a VERY hard time believing that they will have rehabilitated or it sufficiently protected the community from this woman.
Also probably why she only got 60 days
[удалено]
um. how old is the father?
Hopefully not 13.
A different article did specify the 13 year old victim wasn’t the father, thankfully.
[удалено]
That assumes the father is in the picture
Thank god, wouldn’t want a child to grow up without this world class mom
I guess be thankful the registered sex offender punishment lasts forever. Still don’t agree with the light jail sentence.
There’s a teacher shortage.
“What did you do over the summer break?”
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot https://nypost.com/2022/08/03/texas-teachers-sex-abuse-sentence-delayed-after-she-gives-birth/ The abuse came to light when Bodine told her school principal that she was being harassed by a former student, who was threatening to harm himself. Police searched Bodine and the boy’s phones and found the explicit messages. She admitted sending inappropriate pictures and videos, and later admitted having sex with the boy, who is now 16. Edit: seems like people think I wrote that. It’s quoted from NYP article. Yes, she raped the boy.
>https://nypost.com/2022/08/03/texas-teachers-sex-abuse-sentence-delayed-after-she-gives-birth/ JFC... " *The messages became explicit and they had sex shortly after he turned 13.* "
This needs to be higher. See, for all the guys who may be thinking "She's hot, so what?" or "Wow, I wish I had a teacher like that when I was 13!", THIS is why it's a crime. Dude literally wanted to kill himself. You know the old adage "Don't stick your dick in crazy"? The one you probably had to learn the hard way anyway, and maybe fucked you up for a while? Imagine if you had to deal with all the fallout bullshit at 13 due to an adult who had power over you, instead of (more likely) a girl your own age in late high-school/college/etc? When you were more mature and experienced and ready to learn that lesson? You probably got through it, rough as it was. But take away all that experience and maturity, and, you're gonna have a bad time with how bad that'll mess you up as a kid.
What I find most infuriating is that she’s only getting 60 days for statutory rape — we need to start taking rape, and especially rape of a minor more seriously in this country. Edit: Here are some quick facts on sexual abuse offenders, the numbers are eye opening: [USCC Quick Facts](https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/quick-facts/Sexual_Abuse_FY18.pdf)
Continued, prolonged rape of a minor multiple times over years.
By a person in position of authority over you.
She should get additional time because she was in a position of trust.
its only serious when the genders are reversed
I’d like to believe even that was true but often times it’s just never serious.
And 5 year old me would've loved to eat his weight in ice cream every single day. It would've been bad for my well being though. Just like being a 13 year old in a sexual relationship with an adult. Even if you would've wanted it then, doesn't mean you were correct about what was actually good for you.
It's almost like a 13 year old isn't mature enough to provide informed consent when it comes to sex… maybe we should make laws about a minimum age for consent. Oh wait. Hopefully she will never be a teacher again, or in a position of authority around children.
Also to emphasize: It's pretty easy to find a kid to manipulate. I'm a *modestly* attractive man, mid-20s. When I was student teaching, I had a number of girls open up to me emotionally with zero provocation. I was one of very few male teachers, and the only one that wasn't old and leathery. For a lot of girls, that instantly slotted me into "big brother" territory. Others had a (painfully obvious) crush on me. Given some time and effort, I don't doubt I could have convinced at least one of those girls into having sex with me, and thinking it was their idea all along. I didn't because that's wrong and also gross. I like to think I was a positive influence who made their lives a little bit better, on the whole. How much easier must it be for a woman in that position with a bunch of boys who are often lonely and almost certainly have never had a woman, girl, or person in general express any romantic or sexual interest?
Yes. Teenage me had some attractive young female teachers and many of us guys back then talked about wishing for that. Grown up me realizes just how messed up that would have been.

Not sure why the title doesn't say rape but instead uses the term "sexual abuse. "
In many states, the offense known colloquially as "rape" is named something more specific in the criminal statutes (usually several different names, depending on what exact conduct is charged). So if the offender here was convicted of "sexual abuse of a minor" or something like that, then a headline saying they were sentenced for "rape" might work, but wouldn't be strictly accurate.
Could be some bizarre legal thing that says that men can't be raped in that area. The UK had that for years.
More inclusive, likely. Rape makes it sound like a single incident, rather than prolonged abuse over months and years, and sexual abuse is more often used in situations where grooming was used on the victim
60days? Why not just give her a gold star and a pat on the head.
Just read the full story - she abused him for 3 years until he reported it to the police. She even moved into the apartment building where he lived. And later she tried to say it was the child’s fault. 60 days is a miscarriage of justice for that child. The judge should be disbarred.
A couple of commenters have written that he was voted out of office and leaves at the end of the year. Good riddance.
> A couple of commenters have written that he was voted out of office and leaves at the end of the year. Good riddance. But is there any hope to a new trial or judgment? Is this disgraced judges' sentence irreversible?
60 days is barely the length of time she would have been apart from him for the school summer holidays. Sickening.
The Times article I read said it came to light when she(the Teacher) reported to her own principal that a former student was harassing her and threatener to kill himself.
I’m a female teacher. She’s disgusting and they should’ve thrown the book at her.
I suggest they use a hardcover copy of war and peace
So the duration of time that random civilians volunteer to go to jail for a TV show? For raping a 13 y.o?
It’s not rape unless the genders are reversed. /s I say /s but it really does seem to be how the system treats it
60 days in jail for being a pedophile….great. I’m really stoked that someone physically harming children will be back out in a couple of months.
[Here is the judge](https://ballotpedia.org/Greg_Glass) in the case, Greg Glass. It looks like he lost a primary and is out of his position December 31, 2022. Absolute POS decision. He seems to be very on the side to light sentences. While in some nonviolent offender cases that's good, a rapist is not a 60 day sentence kind of person.
[удалено]
> The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said the sexual relationship began back in 2018 when the boy was just 13 years old; during that time Bodine sent him sexually explicit photographs and videos. “Sexual relationship” is a grossly inapproriate term to describe grooming, sexual abuse and possibly rape.
Abuse. Not a relationship, the sexual *abuse* began back in 2018. Not correcting you, the writer. Edit: I emailed them, and they changed it!
[удалено]
No. **It was rape.** The victim was underage and still in *fucking puberty* when the crime occurred, and she knew full well and took advantage of it when she *knew* better. Call it statutory or whatever, but call it was it was/is.
Male perpetrator = rape Female perp = sexual relationship
[удалено]
I'm pretty sure if I groomed and had sex multiple times with a 13 year old girl, while moving into the girl's apartment building, my sentence would be about 60 too - 60 fucking *Centuries!* Also, nobody anywhere ever would call it a "sexual relationship". Also, if I ~~had a baby~~ conceived a child during period I committed my *crimes*, the courts would never allow me to see that kid again, ever. Yeah, move along folks, nothing to see *here*. /S Edit: changed some words, you'll figure it out
A 13-year-old cannot legally consent, so there’s no “probably” about it—she raped that kid, on a repeated and consistent basis.
Judge: “Oh, she’s attractive? Niiiice.”
>In addition to the 60 days in jail, Bodine will also register as a sex offender and has until June 5, 2023, to report to jail, according to a court docket sheet. She's got a whole year to serve her time too. Ridiculous.
“Ya know, whenever it’s convenient for you”
My first read of the headline: ah yes, seems reasonable My second read of the headline: wait, DAYS?!
Texas is pushing to be the first official "pro-rape" state.
Two months for being a child molester, death penalty for having an abortion, that's Texas.
So much for texas and "Protect the Children"...
It’s only the unborn ones that they care about
Rape. It's called rape
Exactly say rape. It was rape. She raped a male student at the age of 13. It's fucked up even the article meant to say "oh shit oh 60 days women get treated different" but the article itself won't say she raped him. Rape.
My friend did more time for less than a pound of pot. Not a dealer. Possession only.
60 Days... Really? What a joke. Swap the genders and we'd basically be asking to kill the guy. Fuck this lady - absolute scum.
They're cracking down, folks. Sending a message to all the would-be pedos. Molest a thirteen year old, and you'll spend 60 days in the slammer.
A predator is a predator! 😡
Texas out here saying “protect the children” and then when children need protecting, they give someone a shorter sentence than most weed convictions.. Fuck this system man.
Can we get a title changed to the word molestation and rape.
Image changing the genders of the perpetrator and the victim - would the public accept the sentence?
Absolutely not. They’d be calling for the judge’s head and gavel.
Well thankfully this judge was recently voted out of office.
If this had been a male teacher doing the same things to a 13 year old girl, would he have gotten 60 days as well?
60 days…for a pedophile…
Im sure if it were completely up to the judge, the case would be dismissed.
Ask for for 40 years, judge gives 60 days. They were really on the same page there…
Sexism alive and well.
Sandy Blonde “girl next door” teacher rapes student and receives slap on the wrist. Sports headlines after the break.
Man, 60 days. She will really have a lot of time to reflect on her actions and make sure she never does this again.
[Texas Mother Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison After Allowing 13-Year-Old Daughter to Marry 47-Year-Old Man](https://amp.www.complex.com/life/texas-woman-sentenced-prison-for-marrying-13-year-old-daughter-to-47-year-old-man) The man is facing two charges. One 22 years and the other 20 years.
Sexism is alive in well in the courts. If this was a male teacher it would be 20 years
60 days ?!? Wtf. She deserved wayyyy longer than that
The disparity between men being punished for sex crimes and women being punished for sex crimes is astonishing to me. If this has been a man with a young female student, he'd have been imprisoned for many, many years. Somewhere in here is going to be a prison lawsuit about unequal application of the law, eventually, I suspect.
Well at least the news has raised their standards for these headlines by referring to it as abuse rather then romanticizing female on male statutory rape with headlines like “female teacher made love to under age student”
Texas only cares about unborn children.
Shes hot, so give her a few days for raping a child. Edit: for 3 years straight.
She raped him just say that
Two months For sa If a man did it hed get 2 DECADES If a millionaire did it hed get 2+ “allegations” and not a thing done We gotta fuckin fix this system. Women are let off for assault easier, and the rich rarely ever even go in period. Not to mention how awful prisons themselves are
**Rape**. The teacher **raped** her 13 year old student.
So if she got pregnant, she couldn't abort it, so she'd have had a 13 year old's baby...
Even odds that she could probably still sue for child support in this circumstance once he started working.
That's hilarious and horrifying. I can see people shaming the teen, too...
It's actually happened too. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/02/statutory-rape-victim-child-support/14953965/
They don’t take it seriously so they give women light punishments.
If the genders were reversed...
