New probation terms applied in rape case where judge blamed victim
On Thursday, Judge Carter Thompson imposed all of the standard terms of probation, meaning Young may not have any contact with children, must be evaluated for sex offender treatment and must stay away from pornography.
Thompson told Young that he must adhere to the probation measures.
"Your previous court gave you a second chance, don't expect a third chance from this court," he said.
Thompson made "in our estimation the right ruling, he did the right thing," Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins said after the ruling. Watkins' office had asked Thompson to tighten the probation conditions.
Young's attorney, Scottie Allen, said he and his client were disappointed by Thursday's ruling.
