clanton forcible rape but was reduced to lewd and lascivious acts with a child fourteen or younger in a conditional plea agreement and july clanton changed his plea from not guilty to no test since clinton's arrest in march ferguson has advocated for a prison sentence insisting clanton is a poor candidate for probation because of his homeless status it's difficult for probation officers and counselors to keep track of a trance in she said and a defense attorney would have painted the victim in a negative light during the trial and many jurors may not have understood the nature of the victim's action according to ferguson some jurors may have ended up blaming the victim for what happened she added in this case was more complicated than anyone has been that has been giving it credit for ferguson out as well fourteen years old at the time of the incident the girl looked at least twenty and voluntarily walked to the tent with clinton the girl did not report the incident as a rape instead hospital staff reported the crime that would have worked against the victim according to  have had huge double standards misconceptions and prejudices about what rape victims are supposed to be like and what is appropriate the reality is that there should be strict liability for touching any child under the age of fourteen in a sexual way the victim in this case has been molested when she was younger which may have played into her later actions and influenced her to unconsciously seek out further victimization and her relationships according  that's been proven she said it's called child sexual abuse accommodation syndrome ferguson was disappointed by the probation sentence on wednesday but encouraged by judge anderson's ruling that clinton submit to constant supervision she said anderson ordered clanton to attend sex offender counseling and drug counseling and tell the court rules he can stop going he also must submit to random searches drug and alcohol and he cannot go into any stablish months serving alcohol clinton also must live with his sister after his release from jail and get permission from the court if he wants to change the dress he also must stay at least one hundred feet away from the victim if clinton violates the terms and conditions of his probation anderson has the option of sending him to prison for up to three years if you violate these terms you will be immediately arrested and put into jail anderson said to clinton in court this isn't a therapy court where you can get one two or three passes this is not designed to make your life easier it will make your life much harder anderson told clanton he cannot live his life the way he did before the incident and march and be a successful probation or there is work out there for you and if you look hard enough anderson said you are able bodied and you don't need to lie around and use public assistance money to get high with and when your probation officer says jump you ask how high and

illegal and on the ethical activities at the shelter susan wallace was fired from her position as a volunteer by way of a letter from the shares sophos on july twentieth office administers animal control and oversees the shelter and her claim wallace alleges the terminations was in retaliation for asking questions about shelter operations while this was the spokesperson for the volunteers at a meeting that brought to management's attention a lot of problems at the shelter according to wallace's attorney anthony portmore of roseville we feel that is behind her terminations the shelters manager in vatican city sheriff captain ron smith declined to comment on waltz's claim any response should come from the sheriff smith said geoff keith well did not return a call from the union on wednesday smith confirmed wallace was fired after a confrontation with the shelter staff member over the killing of a dog wallace said she and the staff member have smoothed things over and the real catalyst for that they heard terminations was whistle blowing and her claim wallace said dogs had been promised to area residents or rescue organizations were not turned over to the people who wanted them but instead were killed wallace also alleges shelter staff collected money for animals medicine and treatment but did not use the money for the animals animals were left in their waste every saturday through monday even though the county was paying staff to clean cages on sundays she's alive she alleges in addition private money donated to the shelter for spearing for spang and neutering was not use for that purpose and staff was forgetting to feed animals and administer medications the real issue running through all of this is poor management and lack of care and concern for the animals wallace  wallace is asking for at least twenty five thousand dollars from the county for wrongful termination and violation of her freedom of speech if she wins the money she will give it to an animal cherry wallace said will most likely remain working at the shelter through january smith said the county must respond to wallace's claim and if officials deny her allegations point more will file a lawsuit a possible solution they allege of problems facing the shelter would be privatization of the shelter leaving animal control as a separate law enforcement entity members of several animal rescue groups are coming together to push for privatization but members are reluctant to talk publicly about the effort as said one volunteer said wednesday there are several issues facing the shelter but added she did not think that she should talk about them it has been an unspoken role in the past for volunteers to refrain from publicly airing any grievances regarding shelter operations
