Judge lightens sex offender’s sentence because he is black

Justice Frank Hoskins sentenced Omogbolahan Jegede to just two years in prison last week in a Nova Scotia, Canada, court after he was convicted on two counts of sexual assault. One woman testified that the former football player choked her; another woman testified that he raped her. Yet the Impact of Race and Culture Assessment, a report funded under an initiative from Trudeau-era Liberals, said that Jegede was feeling intense pressure around the time of the assaults, that his lack of role models “further exacerbated Mr. Jegede’s vulnerability,” and that the rapist did not have culturally appropriate support to turn to for help. The justice stated that, if not for “mitigating factors” including this report, Jegede’s “sentence would have been much higher.” The Bible, the foundation of Western law, specifies, “One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you” (Numbers 15:16). Modern judges often replace what is left of the biblical rule of law in the West with their own blatantly unjust judgments.
