A New Jersey judge spared a teen rape suspect because he came from 'good family.' Now a state appeals court has overturned the decision and warned the judge against showing leniency to juveniles of privilege.
When a 16-year-old New Jersey boy was accused of raping an intoxicated girl, filming the assault and sending the video to his friends, the prosecutor sought to try him as an adult.
Mary and G.M.C. were at a"pajama-themed" party, and both teens were drunk when G.M.C. allegedly led her to a basement sofa, according to the ruling by the appeals court."Her speech was slurred, and she stumbled as she walked," the ruling said. "[G.M.C.'s] conduct as it relates to the charged offenses was both sophisticated and predatory. He was aware of the off-limits areas in advance of the party," prosecutors said, adding that"filming a cell phone video while committing the assault was a deliberate act of debasement."
Prosecutors in New Jersey can seek to send a juvenile case to adult court for serious crimes, including sexual assault, if the accused is 15 or older. "In my mind," Troiano said, a rape is"where there were generally two or more generally males involved, either at gunpoint or weapon, clearly manhandling a person into ... an area where ... there was nobody around, sometime in an abandon[ed] house, sometimes in an abandon[ed] shed, shack, and just simply taking advantage of the person as well as beating the person, threatening the person.
