The Illinois judge who sparked outrage after reversing a sex offender’s conviction has been reassigned.

According to the Herald-Whig newspaper, on Thursday Adams County Judge Robert Adrian was removed from presiding criminal cases and reassigned to civil cases — including small claims, legal matters and probate dockets.

Adrian first made headlines earlier this month, after he overturned the conviction of 18-year-old Drew Clinton, who had been found guilty in the sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl last year.

I have to admit I agree with the judge that the incident wouldn’t of happened if alcohol wasn’t provided and parents would of been responsible. Sorry she was assaulted but she wouldn’t of been unconscious if she wasn’t drinking.

So was the Judge’s “reassignment” civil regulatory or punishment for bad behavior?

He served five months. How much longer should he have got?

There is meaning in this article. While rape is bad enough who is the guilty party the one with the action/ or .. the innocent victim that was passed out and was raped. While the judge is guilty in this case of after the fact action the boy was bad enough.Yes the boy was judged and he was found guilty.
 The judge overturned the action or alternate judgement and placed the blame on the obvious which was on the parents. A bit vain and shallow in and of itself in this type of judgment call. In other words a real scenario vs a fictitious one. Sting operations are somewhat like this. 
While a judge can call the shots in this liberty were does the justice falter in much of this human error factor. Are many of these sting ordeals the hijack trappings one endures . Their is a constitutional issue at stake of responsibility.

Past, present, or future tense in this lesson of justice is a judgement call of an unoriginal circumstances. Good Article Janice to let others know that justice can be altered by even a blind man that judges. Justifying in real time situations can be so upsetting in many justice imbalances. Railroading justice is nothing to sneeze about.

Have to agree with the judge. And the so called Victim running to the restroom to cry well she’s a [Moderators edited profanity]
h hope she was crying about her immaturity and the poor choice she made to consume alcohol so young. Ya the 18year old shouldn’t have taken advantage. this was a crime of opportunity and I didn’t read anywhere that she was forced to consume alcohol. Lucky 18 year old got lucky this time hope he doesn’t make the same dumb decision.
