ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Does the punishment fit the crime? That’s what some people are asking after a former Rochester Police officer who raped a 13-year-old was sentenced. Shawn Jordan was sentenced Wednesday to 10 weekends in jail and 10 years probation. He pleaded guilty to raping the teen in 2022 in S...
Shawn Jordan was sentenced Wednesday to 10 weekends in jail and 10 years probation. He pleaded guilty to raping the teen in 2022 in South Bristol.
Shawn Jordan also was sentenced to 10 years probation under an initial plea agreement. Jordan pleaded guilty earlier this year to raping the girl in 2022 in South Bristol.

“I’m not entirely satisfied with the sentence … but ultimately as a prosecutor I have to weigh things like the impact of actually having to testify on the victim of this crime,” said Ontario County Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford. “And she’s a child, and she was going to have to face her accuser in the courtroom. And when I was given the opportunity to consider whether or not we’d take a guilty plea – absolutely, all day, in a circumstance like this.”
**** edit this is Canada shit, happened in Canada, apologies, I think it's relevant to the us *****
It's really rough. The u.s. judicial system is not prepared to deal with this.
Ontario is in Canada.
In fairness, when I saw Rochester I immediately assumed the non-city in the UK.
Edit: Wait what, it talks about Bristol, also in the UK, but apparently Ontario is also a county in the state of NY (which is again named after a UK city). So you were right, this is 'merica.
Shit I completely forgot this was a Canada story. That's a whole ass other country! Fuck me for my nationalist centrism. Oh and **** jjjjjjjjjjjj
Rochester NY, it's a US story.
Yeah I thought the UK too, but realised you'd need pretty bad lead poisoning to spell "Shaun" or "Sean" as "Shawn" so that makes more sense 😂
Canada has a very serious violence against women problem. And as it turns out a horrific sentencing problem
It's a US story
Thanks friend, always appreciate a bit of solidarity in the face of stupid
