Illinois judge fired after conviction of rape

QUINCY. imprisonment is punishment enough.

Judge Robert Adrian of Adams County stated at a hearing earlier this month that the mandatory four-year prison sentence had no effect and that the 148 days that Drew Clinton spent in prison was an appropriate sentence.

The prosecutor said she had never seen such a ruling and a group helping victims of sexual assault said the judge’s ruling would send a “chilling message” to victims of sexual assault. other rape.
