FULL VIDEO: Judge Glenda Hatchett gives impact statement after Georgia sheriff admits to groping her

[@cvandletter9330]

Groping someone is disgusting and criminal, groping a 72 y/o celeb judge is idiotic. He must have been doing it throughout his career as a sheriff. His all career must be investigated.

[@bonniehall578]

He is an idiot. He did this in front of a retired judge. It takes a narcissist idiot to do this in front of a witness.

She's not brave, she's IGNORANT. I've seen women beat little boys time and time again. and they forget that little boys grow up and they are angry with women and it gets confused with their sexual desires as men and then women get groped and sexually assaulted. So, Judge Hachett, you can just suck it up. serves you right for ignoring, as a judge and as an adult, the assaults women make on little boys. Men who have been loved and respected as little boys do not assault women when they grow up. If you talk to men who have been legally punished for sexual asaults on women, they will admit to having been beaten by women but insist it never did them any harm. They become angry with me and I've had death threats and extreme rage expressed to me. When I point out that they were angry with their mothers and female teachers, they deny it. But you were in jail for expressing your anger by assaulting a women sexually, I tell them and they again fly into a rage with me. This is what tells me the truth: they are reacting to what was done to them when they were small and vulnerable. As adults they are consumed with rage and shame. SO, Weeping Judge Hachett, like most of your profession you are ignorant as a dog turd about what drives men. Serve you right.

I think, that I read somewhere, that he forfeited his pension, but I could be mistaken. I did not even know about this story, until now. From what I understand, City Leaders, and the Public, allegedly, asked Governor Kemp, in (2022), to (suspend) former Sheriff Coody. Sheriff Coody, was never suspended.🤔 In my opinion, if an (African-American) Sheriff, had groped a (Caucasian) female Judge, he probably would have been FIRED, on the spot.😏 This violation, upon Judge Hatchett, occurred in January, 2022. It took a very long time, for this case to be resolved. Governor Kemp, is useless, and he has made an enemy, allegedly, out of Donald Trump, for different reasons.😒 If I were Judge Hatchett, I would sue the Sheriff's Department, and the State of Georgia.😡

Oftentimes when we see high profile media personalities in their positions of strength, we, subconsciously, assume that they are like that around the clock. Judge Hatchett with her sexual assault, and Judge Lynn Toler with the loss of her husband, have given all of us the understanding that no matter who we are, how smart we may be, how strong we are, how powerful we are, or how well put together we present ourselves, we all still have fragility and frailty that can gut punch us and bring us to our knees every now and then. Sometimes it can be so hard that it makes us wonder if we're actually losing our minds - no matter WHO we are. I thank Judge Bowers for his kindness towards Judge Hatchett.

It takes a strong woman to stand against criminal acts. Thank you Judge Hatchet!!❤❤❤❤

[@hilwash]

She should bring a civil lawsuit. Probation is a joke!!!!!

[@SLR.e14]

Sue the Governor too

[@jessieshivers3751]

Judge Hatchett my heart is with for everything that you have gone through it is heartbreaking to hear your pain know that you are not alone may God bless and keep you in his care ❤

[@julianyc422]

That Judge is famous. That Sheriff knew exactly who she was. Someone tell that Judge she is/was a strong women. A man didn't take away her strength. It made it thrive.

[@redraven_y2k]

That's you issue right there she isn't strong nor should she have to be! Why is it white women are allowed to be vulnerable and be protected but black women have to always be strong and not in need of protection or called masculine!

[@carolcampbell-forrest1546]

She needs to sue him civilly. Take his livihood.

[@janetmcgee4420]

Oh, my heart. I'm sending her hugs and happy thoughts.

[@charmainegray3023]

Judge Hatchett, I'm so proud of you to share your story of assault. I felt your hurt with every word express to the Judge.

[@greatbill9106]

Had a Black Sherrif done the same to a White Judge he would be arrested on the spot or have several knees in his neck!

[@maxineringo8204]

He wanted to put her in her place. He wanted to show her that a groveling demonized individual such as himself was fully capable of pulling out that act.😮😢😮😢😮😮 How dare she thinkshe is above him!

[@the.purplepeoplesowl]

Throw that demon in prison!

[@kyiiwade9997]

I remember when she was assaulted by this nasy azz man. When this tramatic assault happened her lovely grandchild was born, and she lost her daughter... alot of times, especially for black women we are not granted grace and mercy to deal with constant traumatic trauma...we don't have time to process theses situations...Im so proud of you for standing up to this fight we love you and support you Judge Hatchet

[@rainwaterradio9371]

This breaks my heart. That he received commensurate punishment instead of real punishment that mitigates even a little of what she is suffering and will continue to suffer just makes this worse! He should be in jail pending a trial for this!

[@plezntsirpriz_3713]

Thank you for taking action...the lack of respect overwhelmed you....Understood ❤

[@wm6089]

I am thankful she had the courage to speak out! She was introduced to him as a judge and you are correct in saying he should not do this to anyone. Thankfully she had the resources and support to hang on for so long to get Justice.

[@Beano138]

I love her, Praying, that God will give her strength for the healing journey. Physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Love, peace and more peace Judge Hatchett

[@ritaree123]

We touch. We agree. We believe. We receive. May she achieve. Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾

[@brendarolph-teisan4085]

Thank you Judge Hatchett for continuing to be a voice for women. You are remarkable, strong and inspiring. I am so sorry this has happened to you.

[@commancheheart420]

Maybe judges need to stop giving credit to law enforcement and district attorneys as always being honest and right in criminal cases.

[@michelleruffin6903]

He thinks he has gotten away and will enjoy his pension, but oh baby there is a Higher Judge who will reward you accordingly!

[@artlives8188]

She obviously hadn’t known until now how other victims felt. Victims are so seldom understood.

[@Hunee-]

Isn’t how that works? You can see people experience the grief of losing loved ones or being assaulted. You can be affected by their emotions and have empathy. The truth is that no one knows what it truly feels like to be violated until it happens to you. So yeah, your comment is yet bringing down another woman is nothing but a reflection of who you are.

[@artlives8188]

@@Hunee- How did I bring down another woman? I simply glad that she can relate to the victims, what’s your problem?

[@khismet]

@@artlives8188 your perspective is incredibly inaccurate. She stood there and said that she's experienced tremendous suffering and pain, she lost her daughter in law to medical maltreatment and was devastated by that painful experience, she can relate to many women and the injustice that they encounter and endure, her incredible life's work has been to be a champion for women! She knows how other women feel when victimized and when this lowlife sheriff s**ually a**aulted her in a space full of other high ranked professionals, it was demoralizing to point of despair. Her impact statement was deeply heartbreaking but very important to get the message out there that women should be heard and understood.

[@Hunee-]

@@artlives8188 Re-read your first sentence out loud. Maybe that will assist you.

[@artlives8188]

@@Hunee- I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you are saying. 😳 I hope you have a great day. Peace!

[@internetuser7156]

And you KNOW she ain't his first victim.

[@etruscancivilization]

SUE HIS A$$ for everything he has even if its not very much, but still, sue him for whatever he has if its only a house, trailer home, truck, SUV, or whatever.. This is a case very suitable for a lawsuit..

[@rhondaclipper2421]

That Offender NEVER APOLOGIZED. HE IS NOT SORRY OR REMORSEFUL. She Will Continue To Need On Going Therapy. The People At That Function Did NOTHING! Letting Her Know SHE WAS NOT AND WILL NOT BE SAFE. Whom Else Has He Assaulted Behind The Scenes That's Been Covered Up.

[@mpalmer7800]

Yet they call us animal

[@nessparadis6948]

What’s the connection to that?

[@my.0224]

They are savages.

[@brendareese7757]

Thanks for not backing- down. Take away his pension. Remove the Governor. This should not be the last voice on this matter.

[@theeradiantgoddess]

I really love her. I have admired her from her show and after and all of her advocacy. She didn't deserve this ,no woman deserves this. The audacity and despicable behavior of the sheriff. I wish he would have gotten jail time and his pension taken. A woman/judge you just met and you treat her with no respect?! Violates her?! A disgusting human being!!!

[@MUSTANG-FANNY]

She speaks for many women across the world. Thank you, for sharing your experiences is very appreciated.

[@idahines8659]

Praying for your healing and strength Judge Hatchett.

[@augustineabram1545]

Coody needs to be fired and decertified to never work in any law enforcement again. His plea deal was too light. He should have spent the 12 months in jail, not probation.

[@makingmovesvips]

You are strong. That doesn’t mean you don’t hurt. Thank you for how you serve and defend. I pray you healing, supernaturally😭🫶🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@elkehoelzle7195]

I hope she speaks more about it!

[@maximusprime3459]

Unbelievable that such an accomplished and respected person had to suffer such an indignity.

[@francessmith2247]

My heart goes out to Judge Hatchett. This scumbag sheriff should be in prison, not on the streets to do this to another woman. The judge failed Judge Hatchett by not putting this scumbag sheriff in prison for the rest of his life. The justice system needs to be investigated about their rulings and laws needs to be redone to be equal and fair to all. No man has the right to violate any woman and get away with it. The Justice System is one of America's disgusting viruses that needs to be cured.

[@barbaraannroach6033]

Well, that was expected from the state of Georgia. Men still protecting themselves. When you check back in a short history, in the 1990’s, see when women had any laws to protect themselves! Before 1990 it was almost non existent!

[@simoneanderson324]

That nasty thing should never been able to resign at all. Horrible system and governor you should not have accepted it. Thanks for being brave and strong enough to speak on the record. Blessings Always!

[@williamzander4732]

This happened to another woman at the bar in ARIZONA during the Super Bowl this tv reporter touched her inappropriately.

[@tyrellanderson4722]

Why do people who are "extremely strong" have to say it?....

[@xyzxyzxyz8978]

God hurry and bring judgemnet on this racist sheriff , the sheriff clearly was jealous of all the accomplishment of this strong educated black woman it’s as clear as day

[@alexkalish8288]

If he groped a judge you can imagine what he did when he was sheriff. Give him a year or two in the big house. He will find out what she went through.

[@sandramiller8680]

❤I LOVE YOU JUDGE Hatchett ❤❤❤❤

[@skating43]

I can feel the pain in her voice. What make him think he can touch anyone without their permission! What the hell was he thinking? He messed with the wrong woman. He hasn't just started this.

[@thomasgriffin9573]

These are the people who lock you up for asking a question.

[@HumbleCooper]

Does this man have a wife, kids, family? How would he feel if this was done to his family? He still gets pension? Shame. He needed to be sentenced. Jail. Come on now.

[@marccovington1029]

Sending out prayers to you, Judge Hatchett!

[@victirynom]

This is RAW and un forgiveable.There is a higher judgment for this sorry POS.I hope she sues him in civil court.

[@thomasgriffin9573]

That's why I never believe in this system. Could you imagine if someone else did it

[@gailmartin2124]

I hope if there have been other victims of his molestation that a class action would be taken against him.

I have been a Victim Advocate for many year. I helped children and adult victim go thru the court process. I received Advocate of the year 2X. However, it wasn’t until a family member became a victim is when I really became an Advocate.

[@jaymorgan.]

Make him register as a sex offender. What a creep! He should also lose his pension and get a lengthy jail sentence.

[@heethn]

My heart goes out to this women and all of the others who have had to endure what she did, no one should have to. Hopefully she now understands what the badge really stands for and not to trust those wearing one.

[@shammond6719]

I thank her for her bravery. Also, the fact that the governor didn't suspend him is disgusting and disturbing. It's also unfair that he was able to resign & keep his pension instead of being fired. Creep!

[@bobbyoj4092]

you never change things , by fighting the existing reality . To change something build a new model, that makes the existing models obsolete . The Man Should Be In Jail For 5yrs

[@myestiawilson4706]

Thank you for your courage Judge Hatchett❤! As a victim myself, I too am navigating the effects without support or success as of yet (still waiting). I know I am victorious albeit a victim of a circumstance…you are brave beyond measure! Again, thank you for being a voice for the voiceless; i.e. ME🙋🏾‍♀️

[@RJ-rn3uv]

How in their right mind thinks the now former Sheriff got the same treatment an average citizen would get? Should he not get a harsher sentence seeing as his job was to protect the vulnerable. Then groped a JUDGE!! Throw the key away.
