Recommended: Drinking and sexual assault

-Classification Daniel Cooper is being charged with one charge of sexual assault against a fellow unnamed junior sailor. The maximum sentences for sexual assault is 10 years in prison if charged as an indictable offense. -Summary Cooper pleads not guilty against his charges of sexual assault with his story being slight different from his junior’s story. Cooper’s story starts off with him and his junior drinking the night before the incident, Cooper told the judge that on the way back to their sleeping quarters he had noticed he had became aroused. He then asked him junior he wanted to get “intimate” and he claimed his junior agreed, he had also claimed that he asked once again while they were in their bunks before he performed oral sex with …show more content…

Then again the law states that when intoxicated one can not give consent and as other crewmates/sailors claimed that the two had been drink consent the junior couldn't of given consent. Cooper also could’t use that he truly thought that his junior had consented as it can’t be a defense if he himself was also intoxicated during the incident.Cooper did have oral sex with his junior and the junior claimed that he had no idea it was happening until he had awaken from his slumber. Now for Cooper’s 22 month sentence I personally think it might be a bit too much as all Cooper had supposedly done to his junior was give him oral sex, onces the junior had an idea of what was going on he quickly/easily stopped Cooper from continuing and Cooper didn't use any essives forces during the whole incident. If I were to give Cooper a sentences It would be closer to 8 months in prison rather than 22. I find it unfair that Cooper would have to go to prison for 22 months for an honest mistake and he didn't even force himself onto the victim, cause any injuries or even tried to continue his sexual assault after the victim had stopped him. Even if it was an honest mistake he was indeed intoxicated thus his sentences would be longer than if he were to receive a sentences while not being

After looking at many different cases, we chose to look at one case in particular, his name is Willie Johnson. Willie was convicted at 18 years-old for raping a 16-year-old girl after a school dance. He was convicted over 15 years ago.

  • Use of Excessive Force and Sexual Misconduct in Law Enforcement

    Sexual assault and sexual misconduct are other issues that must be addressed and dealt with in law enforcement. Sexual assault of an inmate by an officer should never happen under any circumstance. However, when it does officers should be dealt with immediately. There is never a situation where sexual contact with an inmate should be allowed or over looked. Sexual contact with an inmate should be grounds for immediate termination, as well as charges filed against the officer. In 2008 a court of appeals in Michigan found in favor of ten female inmates who were sexually abused by guards at Michigan's Scott Correctional Facility (Heenan, 2009). These women were awarded $15.4 million. In another case of sexual harassment and rape in another Michigan prison, eight women were awarded $8.5 million for the abuse they sustained while incarcerated (Heenan, 2009).

If it were not for him voting not guilty the second time, the boy would have been found guilty. He said the reason he voted that way was because of one juror standing up to the other 11 jurors. He felt that everyone needed to hear all of the arguments because they were dealing with a man’s life.

    Now as a part of his sentencing there is also a mandatory curfew that he must maintain or he will be sent to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Furthermore, he received this form of sentencing because he had not been in any form of major trouble in the past and his council argued that issue. There is also the fact that he will have to take a drug test every time he goes to see his probation officer for his mandatory visit. Now this was one of Jason options when he went to court because he was looking at facing an indeterminate commitment which means he would have been committed to a juvenile facility for an indefinite time but it would not exceed his 21st birthday. He could have also been advised or sentenced to perform community service, supervised visits, a drug rehabilitation program, a marine institute or group home program as well as school attendance program. Now all of these programs could have been one of his required sentences if he had no other offenses or referrals and maintain his curfew for his previous crimes and even though, he did not receive any of these options the judge also stated that because of the simple assault charge. He could have placed him in a Placement Boot Camp for youth which, is a form of military basic training program for juvenile, a Violence Prevention Program, retail theft program for the shop-lifting and community based probation.
