I don't think this is going to get any mainstream media attention, but thought some here might want to see his statement.

I happened to see that part.
I cannot imagine the guilt that these coaches feel.
I'm glad the judge had him speak!

That judge should be given a very high profile award for how she is treating the victims. I'm so impressed with her!

Some enterprising gym should rename an upcoming invitational in her honor! She is really fantastic.

And pffffft! to those in my playpen who argue that gender doesn't matter in judging.

I don’t know. My dh is a prosecutor and while he doesn’t pick judges, he does pick juries. You know who he wants sitting on the jury in rape, sexual assault or assault of a minor cases? Fathers. Yep. Fathers more than mothers, every time.

I think it is the judge, not the gender, that matters.

And FWIW, this judge is doing an EXCELLENT job of hearing all these courageous girls and women and making sure that their experience in the courtroom doesn’t further victimizing them.

Love this idea!
