Superior Court Judge Douglas McBroom is a Chauvanist Prick
July 27, 2007
The money quote from a 2005 rape case in which two prostitutes were raped at gunpoint:
McBroom said the sex acts were against the victims’ will only because they didn’t get paid, and prostitutes were “a far cry from the innocent rape victim” that lawmakers envisioned when deciding the severe penalties for the crime.
Judge McBroom used that deeply flawed and anti-woman logic to impose a lighter sentence on convicted rapist Jeffrey McKee.
Thank goodness that someone saw reason and overturned the defendant’s lighter sentence to clear the way for him to receive the maximum time behind bars.
Prostitutes are people, same as anyone else. Just because they accept money for sex doesn’t mean that they deserve to be raped any more than anyone else.
oh my god is this guy for real?
it’s incredible that anyone of his status would be so ignorant about issues like this.
ugh!
This kind of thinking is so flawed and wrong. We punish criminals for the crimes they commit and we lock them up to keep them from committing crimes again. What does the social status or job of their victims have to do with their capacity to commit crimes in the future? Nothing! That verdict was just slut-hating. How dare these women exist and make a living! The nerve!
