An Illinois judge who sparked outrage by reversing a man’s rape conviction involving a 16-year-old girl has been removed from the bench after a judicial oversight body found he circumvented the law and engaged in misconduct.

      IDK, fox viewers want pretty much anyone accused of rape lined up before a wall and shot. They might not be too comfortable with the rapist-enabler, Roger Adrian.

        All of those youth pastors and policemen that keep going to jail for sex crimes against children doesn’t seem to put a dent in the Fox News fawning over those demographics.

        Not if they can convince people that his conviction is some kind of liberal plot to silence him.

        You’ve got to be kidding Conservatives love rape. Why else would they elect a rapist president? Or force women to give birth to rape babies? Or blame women for being raped? Or adjudicate rapists?

        Not sure why you think that’s true but I think they’d be more likely to blame the woman for “causing a good Christian man to stumble!”
