“If I was fucking younger girls, I would’ve been arrested” https://t.co/YqoSGrMF52

A federal judicial panel on May 1 publicly reprimanded US District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego for ordering a US marshal to handcuff a 13-year-old girl. It was a rare public rebuke for a federal judge https://t.co/qPTpqstzgd

After the girl said she did not like the cuffs, Judge Benitez allegedly told her she was “a cute young lady” but if she didn’t stay away from drugs she would likely end up in handcuffs in the future. https://t.co/QsGCooBUBL
