'She Wasn’t Raped’: Judge Removed from Bench After Overturning Teen’s Conviction

Cameron Vaughan was just 16 when she says an 18-year-old raped her at an Illinois graduation party. Judge Robert Adrian found Drew Clinton guilty of sexually assaulting Vaughan and Clinton was expected to be sentenced to a mandatory four years in prison. But the judge threw out Clinton’s conviction in January 2022, saying the 148 days he’d spend behind bars were enough. Now Adrian’s days as a judge are over. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber had a chance to speak with the victim, as well as former Judge Elizabeth Scherer, about the Courts Commission's decision.
