A family court judge in New Jersey is under fire over the way he handled a rape case involving two teenagers. In 2017, Judge James Troiano ruled a then 16-year-old boy accused of raping a drunk teenage girl should have leniency because "he comes from a good family," attended an excellent school and was an "Eagle Scout." The judge also expressed concern whether the victim's family had considered the "devastating effect" a trial in adult court would have on the boy's life.
But in a scathing reversal in June, a New Jersey appeals court warned Troiano against siding with privileged teenagers.
"I find the words of this judge to be absolutely appalling," said CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman.
Prosecutors said the boy took cellphone video of the alleged rape in the basement at a pajama party and sent the video to friends with a text message reading "when your first time having sex was rape."

Man this f-ed up. Good family my ass.The dad is probably a porn addict, and mom is probably banging her trainer every day. Beware! Fathers.
WTF?
Doesn’t the girl have a father?
A brother?
An uncle?
Why is nobody defending this girl’s honor?
They can't wait until Sharia law comes.
Leopold and Loeb came from "good" families.
PROBABLY ANOTHER SPOILED LITTLE RICH BRAT
Pure and simple BULLSH&T
It is time for vigilante justice since the judges won't do their jobs.
Money doesn’t make good people it corrupts.
Remember what happened in the movie "Godfather" when the judge excused the rape case. Just saying.
Judges are well protected
