My husband of 17 years is a judge. Recently multiple people have come out publicly with their stories about my husband because all the complaints they have filed with the Council which deals with this have been ignored throughout the years - no investigation opened. My husband has always kept me in the dark about his work - finances, so let’s just say I have my reasons to believe the allegations. The most horrific one I’ve heard is my husband ruled that a 12-year-old consented to having sex with an adult (legal age of consent at the time was 15 in our country), so there was no conviction. The accused in this trial was wealthy. I didn’t know about this until now. Frankly I’m completely disgusted with him.
Accused?
It’s innocent until proven guilty.
Wait and see.
The only one I’m concerned about is the adult having sex with a minor (rape). If you have seen the appropriate documentation to show this happened. Then demand an answer on how this could play out under the rules of law. Do I think it’s disgusting? Yes. But judges have to follow the law. Legislators write the law. Can a judge throw out a law? Yes. But they need a legal reason to do so. But at the end of the day… I’d want to see all the info before making a judgment on it. If the allegations are true… I’d run like hell.
