'Body Shuts Down During Rape' Judge Admonished. (VIDEO)








"A California Superior Court Judge was admonished on Thursday (PDF) for remarks he made in the 2008 sentencing of a convicted rapist, during which he told a prosecutor that the victim's ordeal was only a "technical" rape because she didn't put up enough of a fight.

Superior Court Judge Derek G. Johnson, of Orange County, made the remarks after denying a prosecutor's request to sentence 43-year-old Metin Reza Gurel to 16 years in prison, opting for a much softer sentence of six years."*

A judge who says the female body 'shuts down' during rape, and that a victim didn't fight her attacker hard enough is finally being admonished. And no, Todd Akin is not a judge now. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Manckiewicz break it down.
