If you have justice being dispensed by humans, there is always the possibility of a rogue judge who rules contrary to what any other judge would do. Also, there are occasionally circumstances which produce results like this which can be understood only if you know more about the facts of the case. Pointing out ONE case such as this is not an indictment of the American judicial system. Since you have not given us any information to identify the case, I cannot understand the result but I do not automatically accept your characterization and conclusions, since you obviously have an anti-American bias.
I don't know what country is your home, but I doubt that it's judicial system is error-free.

In this particular case, by virtue of "sexual assault" being a very wide spectrum of crime. That your country fails to separate "brutal rape" from "not noticing that someone you're making out with has passed out because you're both drunk as hell" is regrettable; but it turns out that Americans are smart enough to understand the difference.
Our laws have unfortunately not caught up; we do not yet have degrees of sexual assault. But judges do, in fact, have brains, and the capacity to form their own judgements.
Welcome to America. Where women’s reproductive rights are being taken away because of people’s religious beliefs despite that very thing going against the first amendment.
We’re the “best” country but for some reason that isn’t reflective in our school system since we score rock bottom on testing and can’t seem to care enough to change a single thing.

False sense of achievement and strength. American system is able to paint the picture of safety for women. The safety which is not there. Which may not be there? There are way less known crime prevention measures than laws about what to do after crime happened.
I'm sorry if it bursts the little bubble of self pity and victimhood you love to live in, but the average sentence for a man found guilty of rape in the US is 9.8 years.
That fact obviously comes as a surprise to you. But I'm curious to know whether you take it as good news because American men who do bad shit are in fact being held accountable, or as bad news because it doesn't support your sad little victim narrative?No priors and an overall mitigation factors that indicate low risk of re-offending
Why female teachers get a slap on the wrist for raping multiple kids?I don't even remember the rationale behind that ruling, but I remember being pretty horrified by it.
What was the sexual assault like?
Smiling at a Karen?Cite the case information and link it, please. I have no idea who that guy is or what happened, so this whole post is nothing but hearsay.
Isn't that the asshole who raped an unconscious woman at Stanford University? Must have been a liberal judge.
Where was this? We should call the prosecutor's office and respectfully display our displeasure with it and they'll respond.
Why don't you tell me what country you are from and I will tell you about a sex offender who got off lightly in your country?
Because murica in laws are super broken.. You do longer time for smoking weed! So messed up. Serious crimes do not seem to be serious.
The racial breakdown on rape stats is pretty interesting.
This is why it is important to pay attention to judicial elections. Sadly too few people do; so this judge will probably be retained and continue to give rapists lenient sentences.
ewww no wonder he did that guy couldn't get laid voluntarily in a morgue
The justice system is all sorts of fucked up.
