Judge who stunned the nation by saying a 14-year-old was partly responsible for her own RAPE receives a lifetime achievement award
Former District Judge G. Todd Baugh has been chosen for a lifetime achievement award by his local bar association
Yellowstone Area Bar Association President Jessica Fehr said Thursday that Baugh was chosen for the award by the group's board of directors
Baugh, 73, sparked widespread outrage in 2013 over comments suggesting that 14-year-old girl shared some responsibility for her rape by a teacher
He sentenced Stacey Rambold to just one month in prison in the case
At the sentencing, Baugh said 14-year-old Cherice Moralez was 'as much in control of the situation' as
Rambold
He also described Moralez as 'older than her chronological age' and called her a troubled youth
Moralez killed herself before the case went to trial
After prosecutors appealed, Rambold was re-sentenced in September and is serving 10 years in Montana State Prison. He is appealing the sentence.
