A Yellowstone County district judge Monday ordered a former Senior High teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old female student who later committed suicide to spend 30 days in jail.

Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Stacey Dean Rambold to 15 years in prison, with all but 31 days suspended, for sexual intercourse without consent.

Rambold, 54, will be given credit for one day already served. He was handcuffed and led to jail at the close of the hearing.

Must be a liberal judge. Probably a Democrat. The rapist should be hanged.

The judge should do 30 years.

[DumbAss Tanker]

30 days.  Un****ingbelievable.

I'll bet there are some really pissed-off people counting the hours, though.

Was kicked out of a sex offender rehabilitation class when it was discovered he was visiting some underage FAMILY members and was having a sexual relationship with a woman. Evidently that was not part of the program.

Admitted to one count of rape and gave the prosecution permission to use it against him. WTF? Is that the depth of laziness that the prosecution has gotten any more?

Montana sure has some open spaces.  Might never be found if someone got "lost" out there.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana judge on Wednesday stood by his decision to send a former teacher to prison for 30 days for raping a 14-year-old girl who later killed herself, but said he "deserved to be chastised" for his comments about the young victim.

District Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced former Billings Senior High School teacher Stacey Rambold to 15 years, then suspended all but 31 days and gave him credit for one day already served.

What a moron. I wonder his DU name is.

The young girl committed suicide after this happened.

My daughter, a silent night and the Judge is asleep, perhaps he awakens to the sound of KA Chunk.

Nope.  Don't mess your hands, Vesta.  Just pray that you get the popcorn concession when amateur night is over, and all of these clowns get to e'splain themselves in front of the REAL Judgement Bar.

Protesters call for resignation of District Judge G. Todd Baugh who handed down 30-day sentence to teacher in rape of student, report says

Protesters converged on the Yellowstone County Courthouse in Billings, Montana Thursday and called for the resignation of a judge who handed down a 30-day sentence in the case of a teacher who raped a 14-year-old student, reports CBS affiliate KTVQ.

The girl killed herself in 2010 at age 16 as the case was pending, and her mother told District Judge G. Todd Baugh Monday her relationship with the teacher was a "major factor" in her suicide.

Baugh handed down the sentence Monday after former Billings Senior High School teacher Stacey Rambold, 54, was terminated from a sexual offender treatment program that was part of a deal to have his prosecution deferred. The judge said he wasn't convinced that the reasons for Rambold's termination from the program were serious enough to warrant a 10-year prison term recommended by prosecutors. If the former teacher completed treatment and complied with other conditions, the case would have been closed.

He is a bigger moron. I would not be surprised if he is a liberal. There should be an age and term limit for anyone who holds public office.

Montana judge reconsiders controversial 30-day rape sentence
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/09/04/judge-orders-new-hearing-in-montana-rape-case/?test=latestnews?test=latestnews

BILLINGS, Mont. –  A Montana judge under fire for his comments about a 14-year-old victim in a schoolhouse rape case has ordered a new sentencing hearing for the former teacher who received just 30 days in prison for the crime.

The backlash got him.

Montana judge faces judicial complaint for 31-day rape sentence

Remember the Montana judge who said a 14-year-old rape victim was "older than her chronological age" and "as much in control of the situation" as her rapist when he sentenced the offender to 31 days in prison?

His comments, which sparked national outrage, have prompted a formal judicial complaint against him. A prosecutor for the state's judicial oversight board has accused Judge G. Todd Baugh of imposing an “overly lenient and unlawful sentence” that “eroded public confidence in the judiciary.”

Couldn't happen to a better person.

Bastard.

Searched around on the Billings Gazette.  This is an older case and while the rapist didn't serve "enough" time, his life is pretty much jacked and the stupid judge isn't going for re-election.  His life is pretty much jacked up, too.

...His life is pretty much jacked up, too.

Not jacked up enough.

When both of the ex-government employees assume the same state as the victim, I'll agree that their lives are "pretty much jacked".  Until then, I wouldn't want to be the deciding vote on a jury if either of them had a "man made accident".
