Ethan Ralph's December 16th, 2020 Revenge Porn Arrest & Trial - Trial outcome: Ralph pled No Contest, was found guilty and has a 1yr suspended sentence (not probation).

[Sriracha]

So I just looked at the mission statement/jurisdiction of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court and got this:

Jurisdiction of the Court​

In Virginia, a juvenile is any person under 18 years of age. The juvenile and domestic relations district court hears all matters involving juveniles such as criminal or traffic matters. Juvenile delinquency cases are cases involving a minor under the age of 18 who has been accused of committing an offense that would be considered criminal if committed by an adult.

Other juvenile offenses may be referred to as status offenses. Status offenses are those acts that are unlawful only because they are committed by a minor. In addition, this court handles other matters involving the family such as custody, support and visitation. The court also hears family abuse cases, cases where adults have been accused of child abuse or neglect, and criminal cases where the defendant and alleged victim are family or household members.

Is the trial purely being moved here because they were living together when it happened? Or are they trying to do a double whammy with the custody of Josh Vickers and the revenge porn charge?

Pantsu you need to testify about the body slam/choke c-c-c-combo Ralph did to you and Faith so that we can get all this over and done with. Let's include domestic violence/attempted murder of mother and fetus on too.

Do you guys really not know what AND means to the point that it's difficult to understand how a court can be in charge of various matters?

I am just pretending not to because I want the internet to think Ralph groomed someone juvenile and has an appendage like a juvenile's.

Actually, tell you what, "juvenile" is the perfect adjective for both Faith Vickers and Ralph's tiny member.

I guess because it's a relationship related crime it's moved to courts used to handling relationships and domestic violence.

Sorry but I agree with @HomerSimpson. It’s because Ethan has a child sized penis.

 

[FM Bradley]

Short manlet. Memphis Ten Centimeters in his underwear pants. Short temper. Short attention span. Short li'l thalidomide-baby flipper arms. Short li'l thumb he puts up girls' rectums. Short time left to live.

You've been sat at the judicial system's version of the Kids Table, Gunt.

 

[GentlemanFaggot]

I'm going to ignore all of the clarification regarding Virginia's court naming system and keep on believing he's being sent to a court for manchildren.

Which, IMO, should be standard operations when streamers get put into the legal system. We aren't talking about functional adults here.

EDIT: Hell, just imagine if he went there, sat in the waiting room of Juvenile Court, nervously twiddling his thumbs and then a fellow famous Virginian manchild sitting next to him leans over and asks, "First time?"

I'd assume so. It's in recognition of the fact that the context of the crime is a situation which is basically domestic abuse, even if that's not specifically charged. Maybe it will be when it's moved there.

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

But unironically.

Is it possible he’s getting sent to some sort of diversion program administered by the family court? Like Deferred Entry of Judgment, or something like that? If so, Ralph can enter a plea of guilty, and the court defers entering judgment until he fulfills some terms (usually classes, fines). If Ralph fulfills the terms, the court dismisses the charge. It’s basically probation before judgment.

And is there a way we can get the filings and orders in this case? I imagine there must at least be some minute orders somewhere.

EDIT: Check this out. They call it “deferred disposition” in VA, but it appears to work the same way I described above:

§ 19.2-298.02. (Effective March 1, 2021) Deferred disposition in a criminal case.​

A. A trial court presiding in a criminal case may, with the agreement of the defendant and the Commonwealth, after any plea or trial, with or without a determination, finding, or pronouncement of guilt, and notwithstanding the entry of a conviction order, upon consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including (i) mitigating factors relating to the defendant or the offense, (ii) the request of the victim, or (iii) any other appropriate factors, defer proceedings, defer entry of a conviction order, if none, or defer entry of a final order, and continue the case for final disposition, on such reasonable terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the parties and placed on the record, or if there is no agreement, as may be imposed by the court. Final disposition may include (a) conviction of the original charge, (b) conviction of an alternative charge, or (c) dismissal of the proceedings.

B. Upon violation of a term or condition, the court may enter an adjudication of guilt, if not already entered, and make any final disposition of the case provided by subsection A. Upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions, the court shall adjudicate the matter consistent with the agreement of the parties or, if none, by conviction of an alternative charge or dismissal of the case.

C. By consenting to and receiving a deferral of proceedings or a deferral of entry of a final order of guilt and fulfilling the conditions as specified by the court as provided by subsection A, the defendant waives his right to appeal such entry of a final order of guilt.

Prior to granting a deferral of proceedings, a deferral of entry of a conviction order, if none, or a deferral of a final order, the court shall notify the defendant that he would be waiving his rights to appeal any final order of guilt if such deferral is granted.

D. Upon agreement of all parties, a charge that is dismissed pursuant to this section may be considered as otherwise dismissed for purposes of expungement of police and court records in accordance with § 19.2-392.2, and such agreement of all parties and expungement eligibility shall be indicated in the final disposition order.

That’s a March 2021 update, but I think there’s a prior version of the statute which allows the same thing.

I suspect Ralph entered a guilty plea and the court is deferring judgment until he completes a program of some sort. I don’t know why else a criminal matter would end up in family court. But again, can’t say for certain until we see the court’s orders.

I think that's what he and his lawyer are probably gearing towards. They are going to have him in AA and anger management I'm guessing. Will it still work that way since he isn't a first time offender and he's had an assault charge before?

Ralph's first AA meeting is going to be great.

"All right I see some new faces here. Ethan would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Muh name is Ethan Ralph owner, operator and editor and chief of the Ralphretort.com. How many of you have heard of gamergate?"

Edit for bonus content:

"and why are you here...?"

"JAWSH MOON'S BROKEN DICK"

 

[Ralphamale]

Recall him talking about going to AA meetings back when he was on youtube/stream.me. Guessing the court was forcing him to go while he was doing the daily breathalyzer tests.

would any program possibly involve the court banning him from streaming?

 

[Ralphamale]

It happened to Baked so why can't it happen to Ralph?

 

[AltisticRight]

We all know if Ralph went to the capitol he would have stormed the building with Baked. Faith Vickers saved the piggie from his demise. Others have said it, Ralph has some kind of DSP luck there.

Who's gonna take one for the team and attend the AA meetings?

 

[Insane In The Membrane]

With the pandemic, his AA meetings'll probably just have him sitting in the "Killstream Studios" on Zoom. He may as well be glued to that chair.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

You say that, but despite the entire shit storm around the 6th they just would have ignored Ralph.

Yes, definitely. At least unless someone into the intricacies of Virginia courts and why things get sent to this particular court opines on the issue.

"I'm Ethan Ralph, owner and editor of the ralphretort.com and I'm an alcoholic"

AA tards would rip into this shit instantly.
