Christopher Belter, 20, was given probation. “My client threw up in the ladies room following the sentencing,” one of the victim's attorneys said.A New York man who pleaded guilty to rape and sexual abuse for assaulting four teenage girls when he was also a teen avoided prison when a judge sentenced him Tuesday to eight years probation, according to an attorney for one of the victims.
"I have been practicing law for over 30 years. If Chris Belter was not a white defendant from a rich and influential family, in my experience he wouldn’t have received the original plea deal, and he would surely have been sentenced to prison," Cohen said. Belter was charged with first-degree rape, third-degree rape and sexual abuse in 2018. The next year, as part of a plea deal, he pleaded guilty in 2019 to lesser felony charges of third-degree rape and attempted first-degree sexual abuse and two misdemeanor counts of second-degree sexual abuse.
But he admitted last month to installing software on his computer that would bypass a block that would prevent him from viewing pornography, the newspaper reported. He told his probation officer he has been watching porn since he was 7, according to The Buffalo News."The assumption when Judge Murphy denied youthful offender status was that Chris Belter would receive prison time," Cohen said.
It’s the girls fault because they were strong enough to not be permanently “traumatized” by it. Smh
He’s just building his reaume for Supremw Court Justice 🙄🤷🏼♂️
Self defense no doubt. He must have 'felt threatened '.
Sickening! I am completely grossed out by this evident injustice. This perpetrator needs to be locked up!
Admits the crimes & judge still won’t sentence properly...what a crime that is !! 😠👎
I guess now it's ok 2 do whatever u want to a female! Wonder wht be done if something would happen 2 some1 he knows!
Rich and white. The get out of jail free formula.
Yep. Sounds about white.
I won't be sharing this good news on how am getting paid from lisamiaBTC platform if I didn't see others testifying, I was doubting but now that am experiencing how great her platform work..I also recommend you to lisamiaBTC for safe and secured investment.
I bet he is white, right?
white privilege is out of control
Assaulting while white and male. No consequences.
Our justice system only serves the rich and white
well, the judge is partially right. he doesn’t belong in jail. he belongs under the jail.
One of the victims threw up when the sentence was read, that little man is an abomination who deserves to be hounded for the rest of his days as warning to other women can't we at least call that out?
Good Old Boys Club … looking after the up coming members ….
This is a BrockTurner nightmare episode on repeat. For f*ck sake 🤬
Nepotism
WOW! WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR YOUNG WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE, MURDER & RAPE.
Is his last name Cuomo?
This is beyond repulsive. I am sickened and ashamed of how our judicial system is abused.
Two systems of justice in America.
Why do they bother wasting taxpayers money prosecuting white criminals? Just give them a warning and set them free. That’s what happens anyway so why waste money and time!
A white man. WhitePrivilege
And let’s go to Josh Hallway for a response.
The girls should simply hunt him down now.
Y’all need to educate yourselves on the difference between juvenile and adult crimes.
Tired of “authority” figures going easy on white young men for horrifying crimes
Somebody has friends or relatives in high places there!
Will America ever get their 🤬 right? How is this *Justice Served*? I feel awful for those girls he assaulted.😥 It's like salt in an open wound.
The judge thought it was the white thing to do.
I hope his victims sue him for everything. Make his life a hell financially.
That’s disgusting and the judge should be removed.
So he can do it again
LIFE SENTENCE. The women heard the verdict. Their families heard the verdict. Are the women in therapy? That feeling one gets like a million people are laughing at you. Will the women be able to maintain a relationship marriage or family? Are the reliving the act daily?
FAILED JUSTICE🤬
This is absolutely unacceptable
Must be wht because prisons are truly meant for people of color, a educated/financially sound wht person that commits a horrible crime like Bundy, without the killing part, doesn't deserve to be locked up with those colored people/animals...
Pure misogyny. It's rampant in this country.
Has the sicko judge been fired ?
How can you tell when a judge has raped someone before?
Total travesty of judge. Needs to be bigger news.
What about the victims? Rape was appropriate?
Classic Niagara County!
His parents brought the girls and drugged them up for him. WTF? And he’s feeling remorse? Sure he is!
What?!?! 😳🤬
Ah yes, now he will learn his lesson that if he rapes four teenagers, he will go free because the justice system hates punishing rapists.
Prison is not inappropriate for a serial rapist. He won’t stop raping, FFS. This judge should be disbarred. Don’t ever ask again why so many women don’t report rapes perpetrated against them.
