Update - Nurse who drugged and sexually abused 4 boys in juvenile detention will face trial after a judge rejected the plea deal dropping all sex charges against her

This is an update to this post I made from a few months ago. Basically as the title states she had drugged and sexually abused at least 4 boys in the juvenile detention where she worked, and along with a number of other female staff members colluded to keep the abuse secret, keep watch for each other, etc. She was originally facing life in prison on serious sex abuse charges but the prosecutors offered her a plea deal to drop all sex charges in exchange for pleading guilty to standard assault, which would have probably given a sentence of probation without having to register as a sex offender. Apparently a judge made the right decision and rejected the plea so now she'll have to stand trial on the original charges.

Possibly the most frustrating part of the original plea deal was this quote:

He said the outcome was particularly unfair to the victims of the sexual abuse, none of whom had committed serious crimes before landing in the juvenile lock-up. "They will have spent more time incarcerated for petty crimes than Valerie Lieteau will for sexually abusing teenagers," Skaug said.

They keep saying she "had sex with them", but not "rape". She didn't "rape them". WTF?

I'm guessing it wasn't Brock Turner's prosecutor. Or maybe he only thinks real sentences are for men.

There's a huge outcry about the lenient sentence for that college swimmer guy.

I wonder why no one cared about this sentence from months ago?

Finally! This is always what gets me so frustrated about horrible plea deals by prosecutors that lets off females easily is that the judges can always decide not to accept the plea deal to protect justice for the victims. I think as the MRM continues to grow and awareness of these issues continues to be spread, not only will prosecutors give these bad plea deals less often, but judges will deny them more often when they do crop up.

Good judge.

Let's hope she gets a very long sentence.

"According to attorney Bruce Skaug, Lieteau on one occasion had sex with a 15-year-old in the nurse's office while another employee acted as a lookout."

Who was that other employee?
