Hi everyone, because we were able to have such an impact on the Judge Alexis Krot case, I wanted to share another petition in need of our help about a judge misusing their power.
Content Warning: The following contains reference to sexual assault.
Memorial Day weekend, a 16 year old girl went to a party. She swam in her underwear, drank too much, and passed out on a couch. When she woke up, her face was being pushed into a pillow and a person was sexually assaulting her. The judge in the case, Judge Robert "Bob" Adrian, found the perpetrator guilty, then reversed his own ruling just 3 months later, blaming the survivor instead.
Efforts to hold Judge Adrian accountable were just denied. Add your name now and ask Illinois to take action.
Judge Adrian said that “this is what happens” when teenagers “swim in their underwear” or drink alcohol, absolving the perpetrator of any blame. He also said that the 148 days the perpetrator had served in jail were “plenty of punishment."
The petition starter standing up for Cammy says this is a classic example of a judge misusing their authority.
The petition is just 5,000 signatures away from 150,000. Demand accountability for this judge’s actions. Sign now.
