The ridiculously light sentence that Brock Turner was given by Judge Aaron Persky after Brock raped a young woman by a trash dumpster was disappointing. But a recent ruling in Yuba County shows us that some California judges still have their senses.

The Sacramento Bee reported that it took a California judge less than 30 minutes to throw out a registered sex offender's $4 million lawsuit that he filed against his victim after she referred to him as a rapist on Facebook.

Four years ago, 24-year-old Yee Xiong accused Lang Her, 26, of raping her after a party. Lang was tried for rape twice, once in 2015 and again in 2016, in trials that both ended in hung juries. The Sacramento Bee reports that instead of facing a third trial, Lang pled "no contest" to the felony assault charge, which landed him a year in jail, five years probation, and registration as a sex offender.

But Yee's nightmare didn't end there — because minutes after his sentencing, Lang served her with a $4 million defamation lawsuit for "mental and emotional distress" and "punitive damage" that he said she and her siblings caused him after calling Lang a "rapist" in Facebook posts.

"It was astonishing,” Yee's lawyer, McGregor Scott, told The Guardian. "This was all about causing her additional grief and causing her additional stress and revictimizing the victim for no purpose."

But the judge quickly threw out the lawsuit Monday — hopefully sending a message that attackers can't continue to victimize their victims.

"Women who come forward and report these crimes have to know … that they are not going to get sued," Yee's lawyer reiterated, as UPI reported. "I hope this sends a message … that this is not going to be tolerated."
