few years ago a school teacher in the bronx was italy and orly rapes uh... by
eight cock
in the area
nella copper
cop's name is michael kenya
and when this went to trial uh... the verdicts at basically said that he was
not guilty of rape but he was guilty of sexual assault and the reason for that
is because in new york uh... it is only considered rate if you are back to
deliberate
that this is obviously an unbelievable story uh... now lydia cuomo who's come
out
uh... who's the victim
is very brave for fighting on this issue saying listen
uh... we get a chance to live here this is up engines
and you know you call and get less time for sexual assault
than reagan he wanna be a lot of years for the sexual assault anyway yes he was
sentences seventy-five years so she acknowledges that she says even though i
see was not convicted of rape in this case
and doing arts and he did get sentenced to basically life in prison
uh... at the same time what does it mean to get rain-soaked someone can literally
sodomizing you they can literally force u at gun point which is what he did to
give uh...
dispersant oral sex and that's not consider great so in this video tapes he
wasn't opening shortcake's every
is good cases you could want
it was d_n_a_ under where there were witnesses there was doctors saying there
was clearly rate
by and he was an off-duty officer with a gun they came in at six fifty in the
morning issues waiting to get picked up right per principle for a first day of
work
the g_-seven leaders in the bronx
and and so at gunpoint is just absolutely no question about it but the
technique with the law as it has to be vaginal port to be considered break and
because the shocking part
there's always eight states that affect the
where
it'll aural or graduate council is right
hate appointing not the case
and we talk about politics public aides want to go back to like archaic laws
but the reality is we already have archaic laws we need to do something to
reform that especially when it comes to something like a great
so she's speaking out about this year she's making public appearances in
trying to educate people on with the reality is and i'm glad she's doing so
because i have no idea that you had to be badge in a lead me to be considered a
rape i'm victim
and so obviously all fifty states to change that
that you've you know if you have is that gum pointed out is under any of those
circumstances
uh... it's absolutely unacceptable either way mission of the same
definition
definite and the same punishment warm for and by the way just very quickly you
know as the case was happening
the jury was hung up on very very questionable things for instance uh...
one juror could not stop
focusing on the fact that she could not identify the color of a car that was
part on the sea
um... you know has this was happening and ginger was quoted as saying well if
she can remember those details how she remember getting penetrated
alphabetically ag let me know that they were right
so quick
how hard it is oftentimes to convict people
because
mike at how caught especially his rape cases when you've got people who just
don't wanna believe it
hope
huge remember what the fuck a color the car is
here's what was then you might have ever because you're being raped
doesn't want it
and are you don't like the color of the course of your member of the garden he
remember the guide
while u
but some people just a little bit about
it's i mean if you take immuno question about this case
you're never gonna give it to me
any rape case
right you know imagine if it was like the way it was only aldo y
it gerry
that it is that juror with a acquitted would acquit no matter what
so it's pretty by the way
in new york in a timely in forty two other states you can recommend that it's
not really
