A Montana judge has agreed to review his sentencing of a high-school teacher to just 30 days in prison for raping a 14-year-old student who later took her own life. Prosecutors had sought a 20-year prison term for the teacher, Stacey Rambold, but the judge, Todd Baugh, sentenced him to just one month. Judge Baugh drew public outrage after he claimed the 14-year-old victim was “older than her chronological age” and “as much in control of the situation” as the teacher. On Tuesday, Baugh said he was probably too lenient in his sentence and announced a hearing to review his decision.
