GOP Sen. O’Scanlon goes after Judge who let off rapist
/Billionaire sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein might finally be facing justice, but here in New Jersey, the administration of rapist-coddling Governor Phil Murphy has remained quiet on not only the Epstein case, but also the case of a rapist who assaulted a 16-year-old girl, video taped the assault, and then shared the video with his friends. Instead, the Murphy administration is going after members of law enforcement who cooperate with federal authorities in detaining and screening possible criminals who are here in the United States illegally.
The Murphy administration and the Democrats have remained quiet about Monmouth County Superior Court Judge James Troiano, who refused to allow prosecutors to bring adult charges against the 16-year-old male rapist because he came from a “good family”. The Judge said he was concerned about “ruining his life”. No thought to the effect the rape has had on the 16-year-old female victim’s life.
Monmouth County Senator Declan O’Scanlon, a Republican, is having none of it. He has called for the resignation of Judge Troiano. The Senator is particularly angry over reports that the Judge had told the victim that she was not truly raped because her attacker didn’t use a firearm in the commission of his crime.
Senator O’Scanlon told the Monmouth County news website, More Monmouth Musings: “Judge Troiano’s comments are truly abhorrent and clearly highlight the fact that he needs to be removed immediately by the Supreme Court… We simply cannot stand by and allow a sitting judge to tell a 16-year-old sexual assault survivor that she doesn’t deserve justice because her attacker might get into a ‘good college.’”
A New Jersey appeals court blasted Judge Troiano and reversed his decision. The Judge had attempted to downplay or justify the attack, even though the male perpetrator had reveled in what he had done. According to prosecutors, he took the visibly drunk female victim to a closed-off, darkened area and then filmed himself on his cellphone “penetrating the girl from behind with her bare torso exposed and her head hanging down.” The assailant reportedly sent the video to several friends and texted them with following: “When your first time having sex was rape.”
And where is the Murphy administration on all this… crickets!
Instead, Murphy and his appointee as Attorney General are conducting a jihad on the Monmouth County Sheriff’s office for cooperating with federal immigration officials in their on-going efforts to protect the families of American taxpayers. NJ.com reported late yesterday that the Murphy administration had yet again threatened law enforcement in Monmouth and Cape May counties because they are following federal law instead of the fashion statements of the rapist-hiring-and-cover-up Murphy.

The Murphy administration is also in a battle with Sussex County Freeholders over their decision to allow the voters to advise their County Sheriff – who they pay for with their property taxes – whether to follow federal law or Governor Murphy’s whims. The Freeholders are standing by the principle of democracy. Governor Murphy wants to strip citizens of their right to vote – even as he signed millions more over to illegal aliens on Independence Day. Even as the Democrats want to give illegals drivers licenses and violent criminals the right to vote and hire lobbyists.
But can anything more be expected from a Governor who refused to take responsibility for the rape of one of his own female workers? A Governor who justified, obfuscated, and covered-up instead of standing by the woman victim. And she was someone personally known to him. Imagine what common, every day victims of rape and sexual assault matter to him?
Senator O’Scanlon noted: “The Supreme Court has the ability to remove a judge for misconduct in office, or conduct evidencing unfitness for judicial office. Judge Troiano’s disturbing and biased comments from the bench are a glaringly obvious display of his unfitness for judicial office.”
