Apparently sexual assault just isn't that big a deal in Kentucky

[Czernobog]

Officer Sergeant James B. Johnson, 54, was arrested and charged with 25 counts of sexual assault back in July of 2011.
Johnson, who is a former correctional officer at the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women in Peewee Valley, was also slapped with 50 counts of official misconduct, one count of second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and one count of first-degree promoting contraband after Kentucky State Police investigators concluded that Johnson supplied drugs to the female inmates and then sexually assaulted them while he was on duty as a prison guard.

At a Shelby County courtroom on Monday, Johnson was offered, and accepted, a plea deal on charges of sexual abuse, trafficking in a controlled substance and official misconduct and was sentenced to seven years of probation and ordered to attend a diversion program (whatever that means).​

Yes, you read that correctly. Fuck all of the rest of it. 25 mother-fucking counts of sexual assault, and either because the court decided it just wasn't worth the time, and money worrying about convicted women being victimized, or they didn't want to put a Prison Guard in jail, or whatever the reason, this guy gets to walk around free!

What. The. Fuck?!?!?

Seems there's a whole new crop of assholes who blame the victims.

Don’t wear short skirts — you could get raped.
That’s essentially the advice the New York Police Department is giving young women in one Brooklyn neighborhood following a slew of unsolved sexual attacks in the past few months.

The warnings are being met with outrage, with residents saying police should be focusing on catching the suspects, not criticizing women for what they choose to wear.

Victim blaming - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Victim blaming occurs when the victim of a crime or any wrongful act is held entirely or partially[citation needed] responsible for the harm that befell them.

The study of victimology seeks to mitigate the perception of victims as responsible.[1] There is a greater tendency to blame victims of rape than victims of robbery in cases where victims and perpetrators know one another.[2]

Sorry, this has nothing to do with "being a cop". If anything, this cat got special treatment for being a cop - or at least a corrections officer. You think if you raped 25 fucking women, you would get 9 years probation?!?! Or do you think that, more likely, you would probably see the inside of a jail cell for a while?

More evidence of the US's rape culture. Everything demonstrated in the mid 70s studying global cultural attitudes towards sex and violence showed what societies were most at risk for this kind of thing.

"The percent likelihood of a society being physically violent if it is physically affectionate toward its infants and tolerant of premarital sexual behavior is 2 percent (48/49). The probability of this relationship occurring by chance is 125,000 to one. I am not aware of any other developmental variable that has such a high degree of predictive validity. Thus, we seem to have a firmly based principle: Physically affectionate human societies are highly unlikely to be physically violent."
Article Body Pleasure and the Origins of Violence

More we suppress sexual pleasure, more violent we become. Right now the US is more sexually repressive than ever before. Abstinance only "education," religious emphasis on no premaritals ex, sex is for procreation, etc etc. Effect of that kind of societal conditioning is well-understood but we choose to ignore it for reaosns passing understanding then act all pissed off when we don't punish violent acting out.

"Violence against sexuality and the use of sexuality for violence, particularly against women, has very deep roots in Biblical tradition, and is spelled out very early. The nineteenth chapter of Genesis (19:1-11), the first book of the Old Testament, holds that the rape of woman is acceptable but the rape of man is "a wicked thing." This chapter about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah describes Lot's hospitality to two male travelers (actually two angels) who were housed with him."

US is a defacto Christian nation. Thus much of the Bible's anti-woman, pro-rape rhetoric is perhaps ingrained in US citizens' heads. Yet we continue to claim Christianity is good. Maybe if you ripped out great chunks of it it'd become good, but as is that's the stupidest thing imaginable to claim.

I agree with this post, but add that Kentucky is as bible-belt state where quality education is supplanted by the bible and the police are always right [good christian GOP thinking]. It re-elects troglodytes like Mitch McConnell. The mindset is much like it was in the glory days of Daniel Boone. So no big surprise.

Yeah, it's probably because he's white. We all know that black people are more likely to get prison time.

You people want to keeping giving government more and more power, and then you are shocked when they use said power to protect their own.

It would be comical if it wasn't sad.

Wrong. Blaming the victim would involve mitigating this assholes sentence and punishment when he is eventually caught.

This perp has a type, and his type is women in short skirts. Women are not "inviting" him to attack them, whatever is in his sick mind sees this as an invitation. So what the NYPD is trying to explain is that wearing short skirts/shorts increases your risk of this asshole gunning for you until he is caught.

people are confusing with informing people of increasing risk vs. blaming them.

I don't think it is unreasonable for the government to protect it's incarcerated citizens from sexual predators. In this instance they failed miserably and his sentence was a joke.

He should have the fucking book thrown at him, however the government protects its own, and he gets a wrist slap because of it.

Bullshit. Their excuse was that they were just letting women know a rapist was targeting women in skirts and the cop was telling a woman her shorts were too short. A skirt is not shorts.

wtf is wrong with people that they don't put the blame where it belongs: on the rapist.

Hey, maybe we should all wear burkas.

So. fucking. stupid.

Again, informing a person of an increased risk IS NOT BLAME.

If they lower his sentence because of this, THATS BLAME.

This guy is targeting girls who's legs he can see. That's part of whatever delusion he is suffering from that makes him think its some sort of invitation. The police owe it to the targeted population to inform them of this until the guy can be caught.
