California judge chewed out over rape remarks

Reza Gurel is doing a six-year sentence for what he did to his ex-girlfriend

Santa Ana - Superior Court Judge Derek Johnson drew the ire of a commission on judicial performance for his remarks about a woman who did not fight back against a rapist.

Johnson made the comments in the case of a man who threatened to mutilate the face and genitals of his ex-girlfriend with a heated screwdriver, beat her with a metal baton and made other violent threats before committing rape, forced oral copulation, and other crimes.

Though the woman reported the criminal threats the next day, the woman did not report the rape until 17 days later.
