Two week suspension because they've already suffered negative press, and anything more would be too much.
This sort of reaction is why women don't tell their fathers and brothers when they have been a victim of rape. Not only do they have to deal with the trauma that they have been through, but now they also have to worry about their male relatives getting hurt and going to prison. When a woman is raped she'll want your support, not your violence.

Someone needs a rusty prison shank in his two weeks. This isn't s boy or a man, this is a fucking monster.
C'mon guys, how will he become a Supreme Court judge if he has to go to jail? I know this is Canada, btw.
Yeah, he won't do it again, I think? Maybe? I don't know?

Christ.
The justice system should be all about revenge right?
The justice system in Canada is very rehabilitation focused, jail sentences in general are light. This is especially true for young persons.
Yeah, unlike America we don't just throw people in jail and lose the key.
I'm Canada, we have three principles: deterrence, punishment and rehabilitation. He received basically the maximum punitive sentence he can receive and there isn't much of a deterrent effect to throwing him in jail for 10 years as teens don't commit the crimes he did. He was not tried as an adult and the crown didn't apparently push for that.
In short, this judgment has absolutely nothing to do with the judge. It always blows me away when people throw judges under the bus not understanding what their actual jobs are. If you want to be mad at someone, you should be mad at the crown for not pushing for a harder time or the legislature for treating this obviously odious offender as a child.
I'm a lawyer who has worked with judges on sentencing criminal offenders. It is an insanely difficult job and most judges know they are damned if they do, damned if they don't.
The judge is bound by law to outline ALL mitigating and aggravating features of the case. Omitting them opens up the case for appeal, so if he made no reference to the societal punishment that would just make the decision easier to appeal.
Yeah no, this judge and this rapist fuck shoudl've been dealt with harsher.
Goddamn pathetic.
These are the things he kept in mind. That factored into the 2 weeks
but what was she we--
Nah, can't do it. Seriously, the hell is this shit. Two weeks and a high probability that he'll do it again (as he has already), and the poor girl is pretty well traumatized for life.
Awesome.

Yeah he's bound by law to consider them. Also it was a 3 year sentence.
Repeat offender and left her in critical condition?
Some of these judges I swear to fucking God.

That is disappointingly short I agree. The Justice system in any country throws up these type of sentences occasionally and they are baffling every time.
I really doubt he's bound by law to say well only 2 weeks because you didn't graduate with your buds.
3 year sentence where all of it is in the community, so don't give me 3 year sentence.
This should be on the OP.
It's not about the judge but about the laws. Sad
Actually he is. He gave the maximum sentence of 3 years.
Refusing to understand the situation doesn't help with resolving the problem. The issue is with the legislation surrounding prosecuting young persons who are closer to adulthood than not.
Crown must make application to have the young person receive an adult sentence.
There's no indication from the judge's ruling that he had no choice, there's no expression that says he's bound and his hands are tied, what we do have is all indications that the judge was sympathetic towards the rapist.
Haha what you have is one quote taken out of context. You'd need to read the full transcript of the proceedings to make a statement like that.
The law sets out maximum punishment for a young person charged with this offence is 3 years. That's what was imposed. Judge legally cannot imposed a longer sentence.
The publication ban is to protect the victim, sometimes publishing the name of the offender can identify the victim.
The things I want to say...
I don't fucking give a shit if it's the judge or the laws. That monster deserves to suffer for the rest of its pathetic, worthless life.

Here are your facts, he was on bail the entire time. So no the judge was not forced to do this. The crown asked for 3 years in custody, the Judge declined because he felt he'd suffered enough not getting to graduate with his friends and that his community knows he's a rapist. You're entire theory is bunk, he was never in jail and will only ever be in jail for 2 weeks.
You are basing your statements on thin air, and then getting mad ta me for basing mine on things the judge actually said.
I'm just describing Canadian criminal law. Onerous bail is attributed as pre-sentence custody.
Why not ? I mean if these two weeks can turn into 1 week or 2 days...
Think of the poor little rapist. He wont graduate otherwise.
Cite it.
Cite where him being on bail is the same as time served
Right now absolutely nothing points to you being correct here, not the judge;s statements, not what the Crown asked for, nothing.
Are you stanning for a serial rapist getting a 2 week sentence right now. Really?
Of course not. This is a failing of our legislation that deals with youth. The sentence is ridiculous and it is VERY concerning that this sentence is legal, and in fact the maximum that could be imposed.
That's the point I'm trying to make, blaming the judge obfuscates the main issue here.
You can take the time and research the case law yourself. I'm speaking from professional experience that bail is credited as custody in certain circumstances.
Sounds about right for youth crimes in Canada.
Remember in high school, knew people at the time that would commit crimes,
knowing full well that it they would be wiped off their record once they reached the age of adulthood.
We treat youth like they're dumb,
but they're not, and they know how to exploit the system.
This isn't just the judges fault,
the system is broken.

Evidence that this is the case here?
You'd think that would have come out given the backlash.
The reality is the Judge's words and reasoning are cold and callous and absolutely part of the problem
I'll agree with you there is a problem but the judge isn't the source of the problem, more like a symptom. The way we deal with young offenders and sexual assaults need to be changed drastically. This can only happen through New legislation.
So, repeat rapes and almost killing a girl, 2 weeks.
Who was the judge? Brett kavanaugh?
I see further rapes in this sick fuck's future.
A lot of people say you can't predict the future, but come on. The probability of it is way too high.

Wow, that makes me really angry. So the asshole almost murders the girl in the process and he doesn't get referred as an adult for his second sexual assault??? Fuck those prosecutor/judge. Why wasn't he charged with attempted murder too??
What is wrong with you? Laughing? What a piece of scum you are. Rape defense force. Canada come get your dude.
