Two judges handed down wildly different sentences for the same teen sexual assault case in Douglas County—one gave probation, the other would’ve sent the defendant to prison. The county attorney’s calling probation too soft and appealed to the Nebraska Supreme Court, while Perry’s defense argues for leniency based on his ROTC background, mistaken online age assumptions, and low risk of reoffense. The state counters that Perry knew the victim’s age and lied to cover up, citing a judge’s “I am the law” remark as evidence of bias. The victim’s mom called him a “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” and the case becomes even more puzzling when comparing it to other similar cases—one got probation, another got 30 years. The Supreme Court now must decide if Perry’s sentence was justified or a miscarriage of justice.
