He's really easy on rapist as he gave another rapist a lite sentence. The below article was the second to come up when I searched for Randy Stoker. The first link was a petition to remove him from the bench.

Idaho judge says rape is 'a direct consequence of the social media system'

An Idaho judge who said a man who raped a 14-year-old girl could be released on probation if he agreed not to have sex outside of wedlock also linked the case to a breakdown of morality in the social media age, adding: “If I had my way, I would eliminate the internet.”

The unusual requirement that a convict remain celibate as a condition of probation received widespread attention this week, after segments of Judge Randy J Stoker’s ruling were made public. . . .
