“Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?”

[marylander1940]

If you thought Stanford rape trial Judge Aaron Persky was insensitive, wait until you meet his Canadian counterpart.

 

Alberta Justice Robin Camp makes Persky, who generated global outrage by sentencing former college student Brock Turner to just six months for rape, look gender-progressive.

 

Camp’s gobsmacking treatment of a teenage alleged rape victim has come back to haunt him as a campaign to throw him off the bench gathers force, casting a shadow over his recent promotion to the Federal Court.

 

The 19-year-old homeless woman had accused a Calgary man named Alexander Scott Wagar of raping her over a bathroom sink at a house party.

 

During the trial, Camp repeatedly called the victim “the accused” and asked her questions like: “Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?” and “Why didn’t you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn’t penetrate you?”

Perhaps the judge would like to receive a demonstration of how a rape works - on them.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Unfuckingbelievable.

 

Maybe he needs to pay him a visit next time the judge goes to a public restroom and close the door behind them, let's see considering the difference of size and strength (similar to average male to average female) how much resistance can the judge put...

 

What the judge said was beyond Monday quarterbacking... was plain ignorance and without common sense.

Unfuckingbelievable

In Australian English, that would be 'unbefuckinglievable'.

That's one of the problems with elected judges. They're not the guys with the best qualifications or judgement. They're the ones that won the beauty contest at the polls.
