Accusations of sexual assault may result in poor, brown people being convicted. They don’t seem to have much impact in the case of wealthy or politically connected white men.

Why Are Judges So Concerned About The Future Potential of Rapists?

“Alec Cook, a 22-year-old former University of Wisconsin-Madison student was handed a light-weight three year prison sentence by Judge Stephen Ehlke for raping three female students.

Cook pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting three women, as well as stalking and choking two others, WGN 9 reported.

However, when it came to the case of a 16-year-old black teen, Adore Thomas, the same judge issued a heavy-handed sentence of 20 years for sexually assaulting one woman.”
