Judges make laws all the time such as when they rule on treaties or other such issues, anyone who spends time in court will know the law is malleable. Should anyone who is accused of sexual assault be automatically convicted unless they have five female witnesses to testify in their favor? There is a problem with the term sexual assault because it does not fit the crime. If someone touches my chest it is fine but if I touch my wife's chest it can become sexual assault. There is a difference between uninvited touching  and violent rape but we label them all as sexual assault and then use the statistics to push for our desired laws and punishments. We need a better method than the police and courts to deal with sex abuse in it's many forms and degrees. We live in a society that sees six year old boys charged with sexual assault while violent offenders go free because we have bad laws imposed by dumb people. The judge is right this time.
