Woman faces jail if she doesn't watch video of her rape

A suburban Chicago woman's refusal to watch a videotape that reputedly depicts her gang rape could end up derailing the trial of one of her accused attackers. Also, she could be held in contempt of court:

A Naperville woman's refusal Tuesday to view or comment under oath on a videotape that reputedly depicts her gang rape could end up derailing the trial of one of her accused attackers.

Fifth District Cook County Circuit Court Judge Kerry M. Kennedy has given the woman until this morning to decide whether she will answer a defense attorney's questions about the video.

What's with this judge? Is he trying to get a seat on the Supreme Court or something?

UPDATE: The judge has decided not to make her watch herself get raped after all. What a guy.
