I'm trying hard to understand this story and if it's for real.

:wow:

Seriously ... a judge, using his judicial power to elicit sex in exchange for lighter sentences was convicted of rape and bribery and only sentenced to 3 YEARS! He'll probably be eligible for parol in 18 months?!?! Another reminder that stopping the abuse of women isn't top priority or even adequately punishable. I'm speechless.

2. 150 letters of support for this despicable piece of shit?
