A Utah judge reportedly held back tears as he condemned a rapist he characterized as an ‘extraordinarily good man’ to prison this week.
Julia Kirby, the victim and sister-in-law of Keith Vallejo, was in the courtroom as the judge tasked with delivering her justice praised her attacker.
Vallejo, a former Mormon priest, was convicted of first-degree felony of object rape and 10 second-degree felonies of forcible sexual abuse in the cases of Kirby and another one of her female relatives.
‘The court had no doubt that Mr. Vallejo is an extraordinarily good man,’ Fourth District Court Judge Thomas Low told the courtroom on Wednesday, according to the Huffington Post.
