“This is what’s happened when parents do not exercise their parental responsibilities, when we have people, adults, having parties for teenagers, and they allow coeds and female people to swim in their underwear in their swimming pool,” the judge said. “And, no, underwear is not the same as swimming suits.” Carrie Ward, chief executive of the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault, said the judge was shifting all the blame “from the perpetrator, from the actual person who committed the sexual assault, to everyone else, including the victim.” The girl told WGEM that she was devastated by the reversal. “I immediately had to leave the courtroom and go to the bathroom. I was crying.” Her father said that she had been an athlete and honor roll student but since the assault, she has dropped out of all sports and shifted to home learning.
