The judge from new Jersey was spared of a teenager suspected of rape because he comes from a «good family»

16-year-old from new Jersey was accused of raping a girl who was in a condition of alcoholic intoxication: the incident, he filmed and sent to friends. Prosecutors believed that the guy should be tried as an adult, however, judge James troyano from the Supreme court of the County of Monmouth in new Jersey rejected the application. He motivated his decision by the fact that the boy «from a good family» and going to a «good College».

The court of appeal of the state reversed the decision, warning troyano, what was he supposed to rule without leniency to the privileged class. Now the teenager will be tried as an adult.

In 2017, the year suspect in the documents referred to GMC took a suspicious video with a girl «Mary», which at the time of the incident was 16 years old. The Teens met at a «slumber party», both were drunk. In the video they are in the deep, dark basement — to guy at some point took Mary. Showing off, he sent the video to friends with the caption: «When your first sex is rape.»

On the couch in the basement a group of boys sprayed Mary air freshener and slapped with such force that the next day she had hand prints on the buttocks and thighs. GMC then raped Mary at the far end of the basement into a home gym. The door to this part of the propped table football. In the video, which he sent to the seven friends, the girl is Topless, and her head a few times beating on the wall.

Mary was found on the floor in a puddle of vomit. The mother of a friend took her home. The next morning, she told his mother that he did not understand how she got the bruises, and why his clothes torn, but fears that «at the party she had sex.» After learning about the video that GMC sent friends, the girl asked him to stop. He refused to do it. Then the family of the victim filed charges.

If he had decided to be tried as an adult, the guy would have waited for accusations of assault, aggravated first degree sexual assault second degree, actions that threaten the welfare of a minor, third degree, and invasion of privacy of the third degree. Besides, it would register as a sexual offender.

But on 30 July 2018 troyano, who is now retired, dismissed the petition of the Prosecutor’s office. According to People, the judge decided what the outcome of the guy before got a full and detailed list of charges.

«A young man from a good family, he was sent to an excellent school, and it all was very good. He is clearly a candidate for admission not just to College, and probably into a good College. He has a very high evaluation».

The judge said that he doubted the testimony of Mary because she was drunk at the time of the attack, and could hardly remember what had actually happened. And the scandalous case, said troyano, could destroy the kid’s life and future career.

In addition, he refused to classify the actions of the GMC as rape. The judge argues that the difference between rape and rape significant.

«Rape is when two or more men, either with weapons or without, driven man on a … deserted area, where the rape, beating, or threatening.» The caption to the video about rape, in his opinion should not be taken seriously because it’s just some stupid bragging rights 16-year-old boy.

The court of appeal decided that the Prosecutor had good reasons to demand the consideration of the case in court as adults for sexual assault with aggravating circumstances. And the fact that a minor was from a good family and had good grades for tests, should not affect the decision.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, commenting on the decision of the court of appeal, wrote on Twitter: «I don’t care what family are you from — sexual violence is unacceptable.»

«Stop making excuses for criminals and start protecting those who suffered from them», she added.
