A man who pleaded guilty to the rape and sexual assault of four teenage girls will avoid prison time after a New York state judge said time behind bars would be inappropriate.

The lighter-than-expected punishment for Belter bears similarities to criticism lobbied against the sexual assault case of Brock Turner, the Stanford University student who was sentenced to six months in prison by Judge Aaron Persky for raping an adult woman. Voters in Santa Clara County, California, later recalled Persky due to outrage over the sentence. Judge Murphy is set to retire next month at the state's mandatory retirement age of 70, according to WKBW.

Of course he does this before he retires knowing he won't get recalled. What an epic POS that judge is.

People - even people on here - have said "Why don't people report sexual assault?" THIS is why. What's the point? Justice isn't ever served. So why bother?
