18. So the judge believes men are wild animals with no reasoning capacity? Rather low standards, there.

Someone should check for the skeletons in this judge's closet. Since it's okay to 'fancy' a woman and have a sex with her while incapacitated.

Reminiscent of the court who threw out the case of a man who raped a disabled woman with the mind of a child who had cerebral palsy, because she did put up enough of a fight...

And a judge who let a middle aged guy off for raping a 6 year old girl years ago.

The judge claimed she 'seduced' the man and was 'promiscuous.' I never forgot that one.

This is rape culture. And yes, every woman knows.
