Santa Cruz County Judge Jeff Almquist frequently demonstrates the judicial fortitude one can expect from liberal judges elected or appointed to the bench.
Steven Jay Sande, 61, of Santa Cruz, pleaded guilty April 14th to 12 felony sex abuse charges involving one of his former students at Aptos Junior High, the District Attorney's Office announced today. Steven Sande pleaded guilty to repeatedly having sex with a 13 year old student and taking pictures of the naked girl. However, Judge Almquist decided that Steven Sande, the statutory rapist, should remain free until his sentencing hearing on July 22! Almquist denied the prosecutors request to have Sande jailed immediately. Why? Judge Almquist said Sande could remain free because he, "Has strong ties to the community and has not violated the law since that arrest."
Thank you, Judge Almquist, for letting us know what a pillar of society Steven Sande is. I guess such wisdom is why you wear the robe and get paid the big bucks. I've always had a different opinion of child molesters, child pornographers, and rapists.
