Fresh off his removal from office for reversing the graduation party rape conviction of an 18-year-old he evidently didn’t want to send to prison, a now former judge defended his actions, denied that he ever blamed the victim in court, said “she wasn’t raped,” and said he will retire rather than filing a doomed-to-fail lawsuit over his ouster.

But he didn’t have the last word.

Robert Adrian joined Law&Crime founder Dan Abrams on NewsNation’s Dan Abrams Live for a Monday interview on the Illinois Courts Commission’s removal decision last Friday, a decision based on his 2022 reversal of then-18-year-old Drew Clinton’s conviction for the May 2021 graduation party sexual assault of then-16-year-old from Quincy, Cameron Vaughan, now 18.

As Law&Crime reported on the removal, Adrian initially found Drew Clinton guilty of “committ[ing] an act of sexual penetration by placing his finger in the vagina of the victim when he knew the victim was unable to give knowing consent,” only to reverse himself after hearing post-trial motions that argued the state had not proved its case and lacked evidence.
