Old at recent Judges Conference in NV

Wow Check this out

Because Judge Jacqueline Waymack is seeking another term, her 2005 agreement with the Virginia Judicial Inquiry and Review Commission has become public.  The Commission found improper a comment in a case involving an effort by a mother, who was a stripper, to regain custody from a child’s paternal grandmother.  Refusing to change custody, Waymark commented that one of the liberal male judges upstairs might decide the case differently.

The commission also found improper a comment by Waymack in a case involving an effort by a mother, who was a stripper, to regain custody from the child’s paternal grandmother. Waymack refused to change custody and commented that the case might be decided differently by “one of our male liberal judges upstairs.”
In her response, Waymack acknowledged that the comment was inappropriate and said she was sorry to have made it. But she said it was in the context of an argument by the mother’s attorney that she found “disingenuous and offensive.” The attorney said stripping was a wholesome activity and it would be better for the child to go to work with her mother than to stay with the grandmother, Waymack said.
Waymack said she believed that the appropriate period of time to avoid hearing cases involving a former law partner was six months, although she subsequently learned that 12 months might have been a more suitable period. Scheduling because of recusals was difficult in the far-flung judicial district that extends from Hopewell to the North Carolina line because it has only two J&DR judges, she said.

Finally great news for VA Gay Couples...

School Bus Attendant Accused of Molesting Boy Released on Bond

Females sex offenders gets bonds in VA, Males gets jail time while waiting for court..

 

FAIRFAX, Va. - A Fairfax County school bus attendant  charged with sexually molesting a little boy was released from jail on bond Thursday, outraging the community where the alleged assault took place.

Thirty-one-year-old Heather Mulgrew spent her life around children, working for the past five and a half years as a Fairfax County school bus attendant. She also worked as a babysitter, caring for for an 8-year-old boy she allegedly sexually abused at a Manassas mobile home park.

"A child doesn't have no choice, you know, and being 8-years-old [and] by a woman. I mean that's odd," said David Kiger, a father.

Two weeks ago the child, now 10, told his mother about an incident in the summer of 2007 when Mulgrew sexually molested him. The mother promptly went to police and for a week and a half Mulgrew was behind bars in the county detention center.
"I think it is not right that she tried to harm a child, but you know, I believe a person is innocent until proven guilty," said Bill Mentzer, a parent.

Meanwhile, the alleged victim's mother and other parents in this community say Mulgrew's alleged offense is so serious she should not have been released before her trial.

"If it was my child I would kill her. That's is messed up. Anybody who molests a child, they need to be locked up and put away forever," said Anita Cook, a parent.

Fairfax County Schools put Mulgrew on leave when she was charged, pending the outcome of her trial.

Let’s embrace acceptance, tolerance, inclusion, and understanding! 

 

Wow Women get a free pass on sex crimes in VA

View the article here

Another sweet deal for a female. If this were a man, you can bet they'd be in prison for a very long time, yet if you are a woman, you will pretty much get a slap on the wrist. I hate to sound sexist, but darn it, these double standards need to stop.

An Albemarle County woman has admitted she downloaded child pornography, but she won’t have to register as a sex offender.

_____, 28, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Albemarle Circuit Court to 10 counts of possession of child pornography as part of a plea agreement. Judge Thomas H. Wood gave _____ a 10-year suspended prison sentence, a year of probation and 10 years of good behavior.
- So one year probation, nothing else.  Wow, what a sweet deal!

_____, a mother of two, worked at a daycare facility prior to her arrest. Darby Lowe, deputy commonwealth’s attorney, said in court that _____ searched the LimeWire file sharing service for the images featuring younger children and looked at them while her husband slept.

“It was like seeing a bad car accident. You just keep looking at it,” Lowe said in court, reading a report detailing police conversations with _____.

Authorities with local Internet Crimes Against Children units discovered through advanced software that a computer from _____’s home was downloading the illegal images in April 2009, Lowe said in court. _____ initially told police that she had downloaded the images accidentally.

Defense attorney Scott Goodman said in court that _____ was a victim of sexual abuse as a child, which appears to be the reason she viewed the images. Goodman said his client’s mental health evaluations showed that she didn’t have a sexual attraction to children.
- Being a victim of sexual abuse doesn't excuse it, many who have been labeled a sex offender for less were also sexual abuse victims, and they did not get a sweet deal like she did.

Under the plea agreement, Lowe said in court, _____ won’t face additional charges for other illegal images she is alleged to have downloaded. Lowe said _____ also won’t have to register as a sex offender because the statute doesn’t call for it in cases where a person only possessed, not distributed, child pornography.

After _____’s arrest, Goodman said in court, she was separated from her young children for two weeks while the Albemarle Department of Social Services did an investigation that ultimately didn’t turn up abuse or neglect.

_____ did not say anything on her behalf.
