Jason Benjamin, a former Canyon Ridge High School teacher, was tried for rape this week, under a statute that applies to any sex when the victim is 16 or 17 years old and the perpetrator is at least three years older. Benjamin, now 40, admitted to police that he had sex with a 17-year-old former student last October, and video of his confession was played during the trial. But the jury found him not guilty.
The jury’s foreman, who declined to provide his last name to the Times-News, said Benjamin’s case did not meet the “true definition of rape” since he did not force himself on the girl. The jury did not want to “throw the guy’s life away, when in our definition she wasn’t raped.”
He said all of the jurors agreed to declare Benjamin not guilty after re-watching the video of Benjamin’s police interview, in which he claimed he was afraid to turn down the teenager’s advances.
“Rape is such an ugly word,” the foreman said. “We just could not slap him with the label of rapist when even she said it was consensual and she pursued him.”
Based as fuck. I hope more juries start crushing feminazism like this.
Butthurt old hag prosecutor:
Well, that's what happens when said law is cucked, people revolt against it.
Salty tears from soyboy journalist:
"Justice for this girl"? Fucking KEK. Can you even fathom the atrocity? A 17-year-old whore seduced her low-tier normie teacher! Poor little slut! Does she need to fuck 500 other men to help her feel better?
