Protesters rallied outside a Montana courtroom calling for the resignation of a judge over his handling of a case involving a high school teacher who raped a 14-year-old student who later took her own life. Prosecutors had a sought a 20-year prison term for the teacher, but the judge, Todd Baugh, sentenced him to just 30 days in prison. During the sentencing, the judge said the 14-year-old student was “older than her chronological age” and that she was “as much in control of the situation” as the teacher.
