OUTRAGEOUS RULING ON CHILD RAPE
IN MARYLAND
Saying "it takes two to tango," Judge
Durke G. Thompson handed down a very
light sentence (18 months in jail)
to a 23-year-old man who sexually
molested an 11-year-old girl. In defending
the sentence, the Montgomery County,
Md. judge said that he did not think
the girl was free of fault, and the
case was not unique in dealing with
the "age old problem of how
to deal with pubescent and even prepubescent
women and older men." Tell
the judge that the "problem" should
be dealt with as the child rape that
it is, and prepubescent 11-year-olds
are not "women," at 240-777-9190;
fax 240-777-9104.

UPDATE! JUDGE
"REGRETS AND EXPLAINS"
Thanks to a national outcry by WFF
readers, Judge Durke G. Thompson,
who sentenced a child-molester to
18 months and remarked that "it takes
two to tango" regarding the 11-year-old
victim, has removed himself from the
case. He says he regrets his words
and impression they gave. AMEN.
