Texas frat boy rapist gets off with zero jail time, deferred probation and no sex-offender registration

...except he's kinda hot, so I'm torn. --------------------------------- A Texas judge on Monday accepted a plea bargain allowing a former Baylor University student accused of raping a woman at a fraternity party to avoid serving jail time, marking at least the third time the judge has approved probation for men accused of sexually assaulting Baylor students.

Judge Ralph Strother's decision to accept the plea deal sparked outrage from the woman who accused Jacob Walter Anderson of repeatedly raping her. The woman says she was plied with a drink of punch at the party in 2016 and became disoriented. Anderson, the woman said, led her behind a tent and assaulted her while she was gagged and choked.

"He stole my body, virginity and power over my body," the woman said in court, according to a family spokesman.

Anderson had been indicted on sexual assault charges and the deal allowed him to plead no contest to a lesser charge of unlawful restraint. A no contest plea means a person does not admit guilt, but will offer no defense. Anderson was expelled from Baylor after a university investigation.

The deal allows Anderson to receive deferred probation. The ex-Phi Delta Theta president agrees to seek counseling and pay a $400 fine. Anderson will not be forced to register as a sex offender.

The woman told authorities she was assaulted until she lost consciousness and police reported Anderson left her alone. Police said she had vomited on herself and could have choked to death in the backyard.

She has not been named and The Associated Press generally does not naming possible victims of sexual assault.

"I not only have to live with his rape and the repercussions of the rape, I have to live with the knowledge that the McLennan County justice system is severely broken," the family statement quoted the woman as saying. "I have to live with the fact that after all these years and everything I have suffered, no justice was achieved."

Anderson's attorneys declined to comment Monday.

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna defended the plea deal in October.

"This office stands by the plea offered and believes we have achieved the best result possible with the evidence at hand," Reyna said.

He said that evidence did not support the allegation that the victim may have been drugged.

Judge Strother said Monday that in making the decision he had the benefit of arguments filed by attorneys on both sides and a background report assembled by a probation department. He said much of the comments he saw on social media or in emails were "not fully informed, misinformed or totally uninformed."

Oh, please. Prosecutors LOVE convictions. If the evidence gathered during the investigation only confirms some of the young woman's allegations, but not all of them, then the chance of succeeding at trial is not great. She got a conviction. That is no small thing. She might have gotten zilch at trial. And she did not have to take the stand and be cross examined. A huge thing.

The kind of power she believes she has over her body is illusory, a lie foisted off on her in a Women's Studies program. The power the little fool really has is to keep her body far away from drunken frat parties.

Statistically speaking, women of all races in the USA are likelier to be raped by black men than by men of any other race.

Black women have little reason to fear being raped by white men. That is a crime that very seldom happens.

R21, I am not claiming that no white men ever rape black women. But both white women and black women are far more likely to be raped by a black man than a white one. According to the official stats, very few white male rapists select black women as their victims.

Rape is gradually becoming legal. Society is being gradually conditioned to accept that college boys will rape and shouldn’t be punished because “it will ruin their lives.” In reality, the victims are traumatized for life, but no one cares because women are subhuman holes in our society.

At the same time, conservatives who promote the “women who are raped deserve it” agenda, are the same ones screaming their heads off about how great the good old days of women being kept at home were.

In those days, women and children were supported by their husbands, who got paid enough to support a family so their wives didn’t have to work. Divorce was also taboo, so men weren’t dumping their wives and children and running off to create another family they would refuse to support in a few more years. Because of these societal changes, young women have no choice but to assume that eventually they are going to be supporting themselves and their children alone, so they have to get a good education as a survival tactic. But they are treated as if they are in college only to be rape targets for young men, whose careers are the only ones that matter.

Why? Most of these guys will refuse to pay child support no matter how much money they make. And they won’t stay with their wives and kids either. If anyone needs to make more money to support a family, it’s women, not men. These men that colleges are bending backwards to cover for aren’t the ones that are going to end up paying for a family in the long term. That’s a Victorian era idea that is long over. In reality, half the households in America are supported by women.

If women can survive the rape “sitting duck in a shooting gallery” mentality college and the military have become for them, they are better positioned than ever to get into positions of power. They are running for elected office in ever-growing numbers, and they’ll eventually change the laws, even if they can’t change men’s entitled view that women are put on earth to be raped, and it’s very funny and admirable to their male frat boy peers that they got away with raping women.

It’s just a matter of time until there’s parity between the sexes in the House of Representatives. Then a lot of this “abortion is the work of Satan, women need to be put in their place, boys will be boys” shit may still be out there, but the law won’t support it.

While at first glance this seems like a total miscarriage of justice, I heard that the prosecuting attorney (a woman) didn't feel like she could get a conviction and figured the plea deal was better than him going totally free if a jury couldn't convict him. We are not there and don't know all the details.

I wish the judge had offered a better explanation of his decision. It sounds as if the problem was that the District Attorney's office was not behind the victim.

Quick question, how possible is it that the judge is also a rapist?

I frequently ask that question whenever shit like this happens or the girl who got kidnapped and trafficked got 51 years for killing one of her abusers.

Like... the judges being abusers themselves is the only way I can see how these sort of sentences happen. They empathize with the rapists.

The not registering as a sex offender piece is bullshit as there are so many cases of lower class 18 year olds having to register as sex offenders because they had consensual sex with their 16 year girlfriends.

As for Jacob Walter Anderson, he's still fairly screwed. Any Google search for his name will reveal the rape story and it's been blowing up all over the socials and in the mainstream media too,

It appears to be one of those he said/she said cases though--at least that is what the DA is making it sound like--and those are hard to prove.

R27, did you get this steaming pile of horseshit from your Michfest notes? And have you been in a coma for the past year, thus missing all the rapists and sexual assailants ensnared by the #MeToo movement? Not only is this not even remotely true, the opposite is happening: both college kids and adults generally are vastly MORE aware of sexual assault than ever before. In some cases it's led to admittedly over-the-top stuff like "consent agreements" where a college guy needs verbal consent before progressing from, say, first to second base.

Just because Kavanaugh and this frat piece of shit got away with it doesn't mean society as a whole hasn't changed remarkably in recent years, and over the past year in particular.

Every argument by every defense lawyer in every one of these cases ends with, “you aren’t going to sentence this fine young man from such a good family to serve actual time in prison, are you? It will ruin his life, poor baby! Don’t you understand it will ruin his life! Parole would be far more appropriate for a first offense!” For rape, not jaywalking. People have done far longer terms for a baggie of pot.

A lot of these guys do a few months at most, maybe some parole or community service. Where do you think the term “rape culture” comes from? It’s all about how the poor, long-suffering rapist is so mistreated. The whole #metoo movement is a backlash against the ridiculously light sentences and punishments, or lack thereof, for rape and sexual intimidation in the workplace and elsewhere.

There’s no point in women destroying their reputations and subjecting themselves to harassment from the local “boys will be boys” contingent, if the perp isn’t going to be significantly punished and the victim is going to be run out of town on a rail and have their career wrecked in retaliation.

There wouldn’t be a #metoo movement if men hadn’t pushed it so far women finally found their spines and pushed back.

R46, back in the reality-based world, only 1 in 500 to 1 in 3,000 criminal cases -- depending on the state -- ever goes to trial, and unless there's *literally* zero physical evidence of a rape (and no witnesses), which is unlikely, a first-time offender for "rape-rape" (as Whoopi would call it) nearly always gets jail time. Usually less than a year of it, barring extenuating circumstances, but point being, this whole fictional "fine upstanding young man whose life will be RUINED!" scenario very, VERY rarely happens. There are also ample degrees of sexual assaults, ranging from "sodomy" (which typically has a different legal definition than the standard gay one) to inappropriate touching, all of which receive ample variations of sentences depending on the defendant's past.

Oh, and btw since a majority of sexual assailants are NOT first-time offenders, that typically guarantees jail time if they have a prior history of sexual assault. Back in law school I clerked for the county DA's office one summer, and we had a case where a mentally ill (diagnosed paranoid-schizophrenic) man was on trial for attempting to steal a young woman's necklace off her neck. (In broad daylight, with two friends present.) Even though it was a thin necklace, it wouldn't come off, and since the woman sustained cuts and abrasions during the struggle for her necklace, it qualified as an "assault with intent" (to commit robbery). Admittedly somewhat unusually, there happened to be two beat cops less than a block away who heard the commotion, witnessed the tail end of the assault (which lasted for a couple of minutes total), and were the perfect witnesses to it.

No, there wasn't a sexual assault -- that happened years earlier. Seven years, in fact: this same off-his-meds young man -- who btw was very good-looking and "came from a nice family" and all that, but they disowned him when he stopped taking his meds and disappeared for months at a time -- simply walked into a house on a weekend afternoon, and encountered a 14-year-old girl who'd fallen asleep on the sofa. He walked over and hovered above her for an unknown interval, but like only a couple of minutes. She woke up, he moved away, she walked towards the kitchen, her dad called from upstairs -- YES THIS ALL FUCKING HAPPENED WITH HIM DIRECTLY ABOVE! -- and the guy tried to run off. Since the image of his face hovering above his was seared in her mind, she was able to ID him when they caught him later that day.

THAT time he got off on probation. THIS time she was a 21-year-old who spoke at his sentencing about the lingering psychological trauma the experience had caused her - despite not being touched. She had PTSD and was still incapable of maintaining even a casual dating relationship with guys due to her fear of them. He haunted her nightmares at least twice a week.

It was a jury trial -- which, again, is unusual, but still -- and they put him away for 16 years. With no opportunity for parole. So no, R46, your EST scenario is NOT how our criminal justice system actually works 99.9% of the time, THANK GOD.
