Judge Northup gave an 89 yr old child rapist a sentence of 90 days home detention and no registration as a sex offender. The victim was 5 years old. This judge needs to be recalled. There is NO excuse for this

Allowed rapist of 5 year old to be on house arrest, no jail time for 90 days. No sex offender registry. Convicted is wealthy auto parts dist. owner who is 89 yrs. This is what our judicial system has become?

This judge gave a 90 day sentence of home confinement on a guilty plea of raping a 5 year old girl. The judge also did not require this 79 year old wealthy pervert to have to register on the sexual offender registry. This judge should be disbarred and have his computer checked for child porn. Disgusting.

Any person who will put a man that rapes a child on house arrest needs to be impeached.

I have had a number of cases with this Judge. He is fair and listens. Does not automatically go with everything a DA says. Will address bail independently from DA. If, however, there is a serious case before him from a DA from Stockton, he does whatever they say. On Prelims he holds everything to answer. Lots of 995s granted in Stockton on his held to answers.
