what did he do? a (grown) woman who was raped when she was 12 was testifying against her alleged attacker. she started freaking out on the witness stand (which believe me i CAN understand). the judge got pissed at her and tossed her in the can. thereby in my opinion assaulting her AGAIN
Judge locked up rape case witness
An alleged rape victim, who was locked up for trying to flee court when she was giving evidence, has made a complaint against the judge.
Temporary judge Roger Craik had the 43-year-old woman, who cannot be named, arrested and held in cells overnight.
The rape charge, which related to an alleged incident in the 1970s when the woman was 12, was eventually dropped.
The Crown Office said it had received the woman's complaint and would look into the case.
Young girls
Judicial public information officer Elizabeth Cutting said no complaint relating to the matter had been received by the Lord Justice General, the head of the High Court of Justiciary.
The accusations relate to the case against George Cummings, who was convicted last week of sexually abusing two young girls almost 40 years ago.
Mr Cummings, 69, was found guilty after a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh.....
..................The woman who made the allegation, who is now 43, struggled to cope in the witness box.
Mr Craik, a sheriff acting as a temporary judge in the case, had her arrested and remanded in custody.
She spent the night in cells at St Leonard's Police Station in Edinburgh.......................
