The Illinois judge who sparked outrage after reversing a sex offender’s conviction has been reassigned.

According to the Herald-Whig newspaper, on Thursday Adams County Judge Robert Adrian was removed from presiding criminal cases and reassigned to civil cases — including small claims, legal matters and probate dockets — after Judge Frank McCartney, chief judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit, signed an administrative order effective immediately.

Adrian first made headlines earlier this month, after he overturned the conviction of 18-year-old Drew Clinton, who had been found guilty in the sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl last year.

According to court documents, the teenager said that she was sexually assaulted after becoming intoxicated at a party on May 30.
