One-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana has caused much controversy since the Montana Supreme Court has decided upon it. On Wednesday, the top court was forced to overturn the one-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana after it drew outrage and criticism from women's groups.

According to Reuters, the Montana Supreme Court has finally overturned the one-month sentence given to 54-year-old Stacey Rambold, a former teacher, for raping his 14-year-old student. The initial penalty was a one-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana, but as the light conviction sparked protests from women's rights groups, the court overturned the sentence.

Reports say that Montana district Judge G. Todd Baugh got a host of severe public criticism after the decision of one-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana. The penalty was for a 2007 intercourse without consent with one of his students, Cherice Moralez. Rambold has been charged with three counts of rape in 2008. Moralez committed suicide in 2010 while awaiting trial.

The judge inspired the public outcry after saying during the hearing on the one-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana that the teenage rape victim looked older than her years and was "probably as much in control of the situation" as the former high school teacher.

Accordingly on Wednesday, the high court reportedly ordered a reassignment of the case to a different judge for re-sentencing. The previous ruling was technically supposed to be 15 years in prison, however was decided upon 31 days suspension and credit for one day served.

According to reports, the man involved in the one-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana, Rambold, has already served his original sentence and he was set free last fall. However, because of the decision Wednesday, he must now serve at least two years in prison. The Supreme Court has not specified the sentence though, which holds the possibility that Rambold may spend more time in prison than expected.

Meanwhile, his attorneys are adamant that the one-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana was enough. They also specified say that Moralez was partly responsible for the rape, and even referenced taped interviews before the suicide.

President Marian Bradley of the Montana chapter of the National Organization for Women was satisfied with the new ruling of the Supreme Court. She said that overturning the one-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana "sends a clear message to the judiciary that women in Montana and women across the nation will not stand for the injustice and misconduct that ensued in this case and which in all likelihood have caused the mishandling of rape cases elsewhere."

One-month rape sentence of teacher in Montana is a case which must be dealt with extreme care, as all other cases involving women, especially if the courts do not want more backlashes. Attorney Scott Twito of Yellowstone County said that he would consult other attorneys in his office, and he will discuss the case with the victim's family before deciding on the prison time the prosecutors will seek.
