Judge Timothy “TJ” Hauler is the Chesterfield Circuit Court judge who chose not to impose any jail time for Logan Osborn. Heavy explains that Judge Hauler has twice stayed Osborn’s prison sentence.
KCTV reports that Osborn is the 19-year-old who prosecutors say sexually assaulted a 14-year-old after they attended a school play. Osborn and the 14-year-old met at the play and left together. Osborn then led the girl down a path, tied his belt around her hands and neck and sexually assaulted her.
Fox News reports that Osborn pleaded guilty to having carnal knowledge of the girl in 2017. Carnal knowledge means illegal sexual intercourse.
Osborn’s lawyers argued that the intercourse was consensual, using text messages as proof that the girl agreed to “have fun” with Osborn.
In January, Judge Hauler sentenced Osborn to 2 years in jail but didn’t activate the sentence explaining that he would revisit the punishment in 6 months. On Wednesday, the judge again decided to postpone activating the sentence.
Hauler attended Notre Dame for his undergraduate degree and earned his JD from the Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
