A judge is under fire for praising a convicted rapist during sentencing as the victim sits in the courtroom.

"The court has no doubt that Mr. Vallejo is an extraordinarily good man," Judge Thomas Low said about the former Mormon bishop. "But great men sometimes do bad things."

In addition to the praise, Low appears to be almost sad, pausing for nearly 30 seconds to gain his composure before finally and emotionally handing down the sentence.


Whatcha doing Utah?

You can be an otherwise good person and do a bad thing. We are not defined solely by the worst thing we've ever done.

The article is very light on details. Regarding what supposedly makes the convicted a good man, what his crime was exactly, and the sentence.

They have to be friends of some kind. No way someone would give such a reaction if not, which brings up some conflict of interest issues.

It's Utah and the rapist is an Ex-mormon bishop so I assumed that the judge is mormon as well tbh or at least a religious person

This judge also let him walk free after his conviction until he tearfully sentenced him. He should have immediately been taken into custody.

I can't read. Somehow I missed the ex minister part. That would explain a lot and is probably what this is.

I think only Chris Benoit fits the description. The rest did horrible things while they were "great" but kept it hidden, except for Jared who was just some commercial guy.

Bad people can pretend to be good people in their day to day life. John Wayne Gacey worked as a happy party clown that everyone loved while torturing and murdering young boys and burying them in his basement in his spare time.

Bill Cosby was ALWAYS a scumbag despite playing a lovable dad on TV. He was drugging women and raping them long before the Cosby show ever went into syndication.

You guys are gullible. :u

I am nice to you. I have never called you names, never hit on you and you were like my lil' sister. You are disgusted at me for having unsavory opinions. You are right as whole I am not a nice person.

Nobody is good or bad. Specific actions are, but not people as a whole.

It's never made sense to me why somebody can do 10,000 wonderful things in their life, but then if they, say, rape somebody one time we judge them as a horrible person forever...but if somebody does nothing good or bad their entire lives we dont.

You're a bad person for making this post.

Tagging you as rape apologist.

That's exactly what you said. :o You think that it is bad that if a person does 10,000 good things and rapes someone one time we change our opinion of them. So I ask you how many times do they need to rape somebody to cancel out their good deeds?

What part of my post said that rape is an okay action to commit?

You didn't.

You just insinuated that if you rape someone we should also consider that one time you saved a kitty from drowning before evaluating your character.
