Child rapist molested SECOND victim after Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson gave him lax sentence for failing to register as sex offender
- Ketanji Brown Jackson has been nominated to the Supreme Court and would be the first black woman to sit on the bench
- She has faced repeated questions from Republicans about her sentencing history as a federal judge - in particular for child pornography convicts
- On Friday Senate documents raised concern about a different case, in which Brown Jackson gave a lenient sentence to a child rapist who attacked again
- Leo Weekes was in 2010 convicted in DC Superior Court of raping his 13-year-old niece four years earlier
- He violated his probation, and in February 2014 appeared before Brown Jackson for sentencing
- Prosecutors requested a two year minimum, but she sentenced him to one year, and he was released after five months
- In June 2015 he sexually assaulted his sister-in-law, plying her with drink before attacking her
- Weekes appeared before her again, in February 2017, and Brown Jackson again was lenient, allowing him to serve his sentences concurrently
