Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Judge Janet Protasiewicz let off a convicted child rapist with no jail time who was accused of filming his sexual encounter with a 13-year-old and posting it on Facebook.
Quantrell Bounds assaulted and raped a 13-year-old girl, recorded it, and posted a video of the act to Facebook. Despite facing 60 years in prison, Judge Janet refused to give Bounds any prison time at all. No prison for child rapists. That’s Janet Protasiewitz on crime.
Bounds was charged in 2019 with first-degree child sex assault involving a “person under the age of 13,” which was later reduced to third-degree sexual assault, according to Milwaukee County records. He was also charged with publishing a “depiction of person w/out consent.”
Records show Protasiewicz sentenced Bounds to five years and nine months in prison, but suspended the jail time and let him walk with six years of probation. Bounds was arrested again last June for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, a case that is still open, according to records.
There are multiple convicted rapists and pedophiles who received light sentences from Protasiewicz.
She oversaw the sentencing of Jovian Reese, who was convicted of sexually assaulting his cousin in 2018. While Reese faced a maximum sentence of 10 years, Protasiewicz opted to give him just 14 months in prison, along with 50 hours of community service.
‘Mr. Reese, I am giving you the least amount of time I think is appropriate,’ she said during the sentencing. ‘It is significantly less than what I thought I was going to give you.’
In another 2019 case, Protasiewicz sentenced a child predator who assaulted an 11-year-old to probation. In yet another case in 2018, she also gave probation to a mother who allegedly starved her 16-year-old disabled son to death.
