A former judge in southeastern Washington state who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two former court employees over several years was sentenced to 15 months in prison. FOX13
. Price handed down his decision after listening to statements from a victim, the former judge, Gallina’s family members, and attorneys for the state and defendant. The sentencing range was 13 to 27 months in prison.
Price hailed the women as heroes for speaking out about the pervasive sexual harassment and assaults in the workplace."I’m overwhelmed by your courage, and awestruck by your dignity," he said. "If you hadn’t spoken out, I have no doubt this outrageous behavior would’ve continued." Instead of demonstrating remorse for his actions, Gallina focused on his regrets about what the case did to his family, income and career, Price said. The blame was shifted to the victims, when Gallina continued to imply it was all nonsense, and the women were lying for some kind of monetary gain, the judge said.
In court, Gallina said he has nothing but remorse and empathy, and that he accepts responsibility for what occurred.
