Judge reinstates harsher probation restrictions on man who raped 14-year-old

State District Judge Carter Thompson had stern words of warning Thursday for Sir Young after his decision to reinstate probation restrictions against the admitted rapist.

“Mr. Young, we’ve never met before,” the judge said from the bench.

“No sir,” replied Young from his seat at the defense table.

“Let me tell you what’s expected of you. You have to live up to every condition of probation,” the judge said. If you miss a probation meeting, I’m going to find out about it. If you test positive for drugs, I’m going to find out about it. If you’re in a gang, I’m going to find out about it. If you get arrested again, I’m going to find out about it.

“Your previous court gave you a second chance. Do not expect a third chance from this court.”
