Only in New York, this judge needs to be removed from his bench and job. It would be bad enough if it was an accused person that kept pleading innocent or even if it was a man raping a woman but in this case, a man raping a 14-year-old child at his house and was known to invite kids over his home where he would give them alcohol. This man was a school bus driver. One rationale the judge used was "well it was his first time". I don't care myself if the man was a saint or whatever or even if it was attempted he should have to have served some sentence.
This case swamps the Jesse Smallet injustice although both are injustice and failures in the system. Whatever judge made that decision should lose his job and never be allowed to be a judge again.
