Should the Judge in the teenagers rape case be struck off ?

If he was and so unable to do his job, he shouldn't be a judge Ashcombe.

He even praised them for their good behaviour during the trial!!🤷

Would it make any difference Cardamom?

He saw the video those monsters made and posted on social media, and would have witnessed what those poor girls went through in court, having been forced to give evidence because they pleaded not guilty to a crime they'd filmed themselves committing and still appears to have had more concern for their welfare than their victims.

I fear that there’s a possibility that the judge may have been threatened, given the background of the three boys.

Petitions from both Houses of Parliament to the reigning Monarch are required to dismiss a High Court judge.

It's rare but has happened and I hope it does in this case.

I'd like to see Judge Nicholas Rowland sent to a rape crisis centre to see, first hand, the trauma and damage done to women by males. I think he should work there, unpaid, for no less than a year so that he can witness that trauma unfolding and then go back to retrain as a circuit judge dealing only with male criminals.

I was very pleased to see Gisele Pelicot speak out about this and remind our justice system of the never ending damage done to the victims. Quite a coincidence that almost immediately after her statement the case has been confirmed as being referred back to the court of appeal.

Its certainly a travesty and those who suffered these assaults must feel as though their trauma dose not matter to our justice system. I don't think judges get struck off exactly but perhaps 'retired'. There are a great deal of people at all levels calling for this sentence to be reversed an a custodial sentence given. Quite rightly so in my opinion.
