Problem:A Facebook campaign to stop an Anchorage Superior Court Judge from retaining his seat continues to grow, now up to almost 3,000 people. 
  
 This past Wednesday, Anchorage Superior Court Judge Michael Corey sentenced 34-year-old former air-traffic controller Justin Scott Schneider to no immediate time behind bars after approving a plea deal that dismissed a kidnapping charge and involved a conviction only on second-degree assault.

 Schneider was charged with offering a woman a ride and then tackling her, choking her until she became unconscious, then masturbating on her. Previous reports say the women felt like she was going to die.

 This past June the Alaska Judicial Council recommended that Judge Corey retain his position and Corey said the job has been the most challenging and most rewarding of his career. 
  
 In his letter to the council the judge wrote: "For more than three years I have dedicated myself to becoming the best judicial officer possible. Every day, I strive to perpetuate the integrity and credibility of our judiciary. I am grateful that my placement in this position has been well received by most of who I come into contact. My goal is to be the type of judge before whom I once preferred to appear. I recognize that I will never reach perfection. However, such is my goal." 
  
 Before a recommendation, the Alaska Judicial Council asks numerous people, including lawyers, law enforcement, clerks and juries, about their experiences with the judge who's up for retention. 
  
 The judge's recommendation is based on the judge's legal ability, temperament, integrity, diligence and fairness. 
  
 "If the council decides, based on all the information, that the judge has met that, then the council makes a 'yes' recommendation," Susanne DiPietro, the executive director for the Alaska Judicial Council said, "and that is what the council did." 
  
 Judges are based on a scale of 1 to 5 with five being an excellent rating. Most of Judge Corey's numbers are 4s or 5s. 
  
 Still, the Department of Law heard from a number of people that the sentence imposed was too lenient. Criminal Division Director John Skidmore independently reviewed the case and concluded the sentence was consistent with, and reasonable, under current sentencing laws in Alaska. 
  
 "Though it is understandable that some feel his sentence was not sufficiently harsh," Skidmore said in a news release, "all prosecutors are ethically required to follow the law, no matter how disturbing the facts may be." 
  
 Skidmore's office wrote in that same news release that "contact with bodily fluid such as semen is not categorized as a sex crime under Alaska law." 
  
 This week during an update to the Public Safety Action Plan, Gov. Bill Walker says he will release legislation that makes causing unwanted contact with semen a sex offense. The penalty for a first-time offense carries jail time of 2 to 12 years and requires registration as a sex offender. 
  
 Channel 2 requested to speak with Judge Corey Monday morning but was told that because of the rules of judicial ethics, the judge is not giving interviews about his recent decision and he is also not speaking about his retention election at this time. ||||| ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A group of Alaska residents vowed to launch a campaign against an Anchorage judge who sentenced no jail time to a man who was accused of offering a ride to a woman, choking her until she was unconscious and allegedly masturbating on her while she was unconscious. Justin Schneider, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault in the case, and Anchorage Superior Court Judge Michael Corey sentenced Schneider to two years with a year suspended. 
  
 A kidnapping charge was dropped as part of the plea deal. Schneider also received credit for a year he served under house arrest and will serve no additional time as long as he doesn't violate the conditions of his probation. 
  
 The case garnered national attention, and a Facebook group called NO retention for Judge Michael Corey, which has more than 2,000 likes, CBS Anchorage affiliate KTVA-TV reports. 
  
 Elizabeth Williams, who started the Facebook group, told KTVA she had a visceral reaction when heard the verdict. 
  
 "I was just absolutely appalled that he was going to be out on the streets again, and that Alaskan women were again going to be let down by the justice system," Williams said. "I was also outraged that this woman didn't have a voice in the court proceeding, and that no one was advocating for her and no one was speaking for her needs including the judge." 
  
 Schneider choked an Alaska Native woman and then masturbated over her unconscious body, according to charging documents. He also told the woman he would kill her if she screamed, Anchorage police detective Brett Sarber wrote in a sworn affidavit. 
  
 The victim was not present or on the phone during the hearing. 
  
 Anchorage Assistant District Attorney Andrew Grannik said Wednesday that Schneider lost his job working for the federal government as a result of the case, a consequence he called a "life sentence," KTVA reports. 
  
 Grannik said he agreed to the plea deal based on Schneider's enrollment and progress in a treatment program, and an expert's assessment that the risk of him re-offending is low. 
  
 "I hope it doesn't happen," Grannik said. "That's the reason why I made the deal that I've made, because I have reasonable expectations that it will not happen. But I would like the gentleman to be on notice that that is his one pass -- it's not really a pass -- but given the conduct, one might consider that it is." 
  
 Corey accepted the deal, noting the outcome of the case could be described as "breathtaking," according to KTVA. He said his decision was based on the prospect of rehabilitation. 
  
 "Mr. Schneider is going to be a member of our community, and he would not be in jail for the rest of his life even if he had been convicted on all of the counts for which he was charged," Corey said. 
  
 He also told Schneider, "This can never happen again." 
  
 The sentence highlights a deeply flawed legal system, according to sexual assault advocates. 
  
 "This is another example of an Alaska native woman not getting the justice they deserve," Williams said. 
  
 A number of concerned citizens told the state law department that they also believed Schneider's sentence was too lenient. 
  
 The Alaska Department of Law stood by Corey's decision, and Criminal Division Director John Skidmore reviewed the case and said it was "consistent with, and reasonable, under current sentencing laws in Alaska." 
  
 Schneider did not have a criminal record prior to the incident. 
  
 Gov. Bill Walker agreed that the sentence was insufficient and said in a statement that he wants to toughen laws. 
  
 "I'm so mad, I can't see straight. I'm so angry," Anchorage resident Ann Septon told KTVA on Saturday. 
  
 "It's a complete disregard for what actually took place," said Anchorage resident Keeley Wilson. |||||
Solution:
It would likely have been a no-brainer: Voters in Alaska will decide in November whether a well-regarded judge will remain on Anchorage Superior Court. But now a controversial case has thrown that into doubt, and a "NO retention for Judge Michael Corey" Facebook page has more than 3,000 likes in its first days. As KTUU reports, the case involves 34-year-old Justin Schneider, who police said offered a 25-year-old woman a ride in his vehicle, choked her into unconsciousness, and masturbated on her. Corey accepted a plea deal in which Schneider got no jail time—he admitted to assault charges, other charges of kidnapping and harassment were dropped, and he received credit for a year under house arrest. "I was just absolutely appalled," says Elizabeth Williams, the woman who created the Facebook page, per CBS News. Williams and other critics also fault Assistant District Attorney Andrew Grannik for agreeing to the plea, which he referred to in court as Schneider's "one pass." They also say the victim, a Native woman who immediately notified police, was given scant consideration. As the outrage grows, the Washington Post notes that state officials say the judge and ADA were hamstrung by current law. For example, the state doesn't include semen in its criteria for sexual assault, so only harassment charges were filed. And the serious kidnapping charge would have been tough to prove given that the woman entered his vehicle willingly. The judge wanted Schneider to undergo sex-offender treatment, and the plea deal was the only way to ensure that, says a state deputy attorney general. Lawmakers now say they want to toughen state laws in the wake of the controversy.
