The women’s organization NOW NYC is objecting to Judge Rowan Wilson’s nomination for chief judge of New York state’s highest court.

The objection stems from a decision Wilson penned in the case People v. Regan last month.

The case deals with a rape in which a lower court found the defendant guilty. Because of multiple delays by both the police agency and the prosecution, the Court of Appeals ruled that the guilty verdict should be vacated.

NOW NY’s executive director Sonia Ossorio told Capital Tonight that the decision “strips the rape survivor of her justice” and “shocks the conscious."

Ossorio will make an appearance at Wilson’s nomination hearing on Monday in Albany.

“As advocates for survivors of sexual assault, we are outraged that Judge Rowan voted to strip a rape survivor of justice, in fact he wrote the opinion,” she wrote in a letter to state Sen. Jamaal Bailey.
