After accidentally emailing reports from the case which included the victim's name, District Judge Terry Ruckriegle told the woman's parents at a hearing Friday, that "for all of those who come through these doors, victims and defendants alike, whose names are never known and never sought, I can only assure you I have learned lessons from these mistakes, and that we will give our best human effort not to let it happen again," he said.

"Again, I apologize," the judge said, looking at the parents of the 20-year-old accuser. They nodded in response.

The accuser's lawyer John Clune later said the judge's "self-serving generic apology was insulting to the victim and her parents."
