2 judges’ comments, handling of rape cases draw criticism

Two New Jersey judges have come under fire for their handling of rape cases, one for asking whether a 16-year-old boy “from a good family” should face “devastating” consequences over a videotaped assault.
Another judge asked whether a 12-year-old girl’s loss of virginity constitutes serious harm.
Monmouth County Judge James Troiano said the Eagle Scout charged with assaulting an intoxicated teen at a pajama party had good test scores and could go to a top college.
