Accuser upset over no jail time for ex-Baylor student
DALLAS (AP) — A woman who says she was raped by a former Baylor University classmate is upset over a plea bargain that will spare him from a jail sentence, saying the justice system is "severely broken."
Judge Ralph Strother's decision on Monday to accept the plea deal for Jacob Walter Anderson marked at least the third time the Texas judge has approved probation for men accused of sexually assaulting Baylor students.
The woman said she was plied with a drink of punch at a 2016 party and became disoriented. She said Anderson led her behind a tent and repeatedly raped her while she was gagged and choked.
"He stole my body, virginity and power over my body," the woman said in court, according to a family spokesman.
