43 days in jail for raping a child

43 days in jail for raping a child

Tell the Montana Judicial Standards Commission: 

"Kick Judge John McKeon off the bench without his pension."

    A man from Montana repeatedly raped his 12-year-old daughter, and Judge John McKeon sentenced him to only 43 days in jail.

    The rapist pleaded guilty to repeatedly assaulting his daughter, and the prosecution recommended a 25-year sentence but Judge McKeon completely ignored that recommendation. Instead, he sent a message that this kind of sexual abuse can happen with impunity.

    McKeon is about to retire in less than 30 days, and he'll leave the bench with a generous pension--unless we speak out. We can make sure he doesn't profit from this horrific decision by demanding he doesn't receive a government pension.

    Pressure from UltraViolet members has worked in cases like this before. After Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Brock Turner to nearly no time in the Stanford rape case, we forced him to stop hearing criminal cases. In Montana, UltraViolet members spoke out and forced another rape-apologist judge into early retirement. We can put pressure on the Montana Judicial Standards Commission to kick this judge off the bench and ensure he doesn’t get to collect retirement from taxpayers. Can you add your name?
