He added that his probationary status would be “like a sword hanging over your head for the next eight years.”

The lawyer for one of the victims, Steven Cohen, was visibly enraged by the ruling and said, “Justice was not done here today,” The Buffalo News reported.

“He is privileged, he comes from money, he is white. He was sentenced as an adult, appropriately. For an adult to get away with these crimes is unjust,” Cohen added.
