Matt Vickers popped in chat last night to mention he’s already booked flights for the trial in January. This must have Gunt shitting massive bricks.
It’s not uncommon for court cases involving sex related crimes to have the state pursuing charges without making the victim testify or not having the victims/victim’s family attending for various reasons. I figured at best the Vickers might be on zoom but to find out they are going in person? This sends a huge message to the judge who will be far less likely to take it easy on a defendant with his victim and/or family members looking on. Judge is going to be looking the father of the victim in the eye.
Even better is Gunt can’t use pregnant May to try and beg leniency. A dirtbag convicted of theft or drug offense could win a judge’s sympathy and probably avoid jail time or much less if he tearfully asks to be there for his pregnant wife and see the birth of his child.
Ralph, however is before a judge for releasing revenge porn on the teen girl he got pregnant just last year. A teen girl he abused and didn’t lift a finger for during her pregnancy or after the baby was born - not even claim paternity. In fact, he did the opposite and has harassed and said disgusting things about the teen mother of his son for months now.
Imagine the judge’s reaction if Ralph drags in his newest pregnant girlfriend. The judge will probably think throwing him in jail for six months will spare Pantsu abuse and help protect the newborn.
