Agent Orange Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have just read a news report (link below) about how a woman in her 30s who had a sexual relationship with a boy of 15 and when being discovered, received a lenient sentence (non custodial). See link below: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4582142/Married-mum-32-had-sex-with-brothers-aged-15-and-17.html Now, not only I am shocked to see how she got off lightly with this but how the press have reported the story. It appears to me, it's a case of double standards with both the press and judiciary. I can't help but think had this been a man, he would have received a custodial sentence and a good hounding from the press to boot. Would love to hear opinions on this.

quisquose Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 There's definitely double standards in the way the media portray statutory rape by women on minors in comparison to men. I'm not sure about the justice in this case. She got a 9 months suspended sentence, and I'm not sure what a man would get in similar circumstances. It wouldn't surprise me if double standards were employed here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrangaroo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Should there not be a demand by women that they receive an equal punishment, they've wanted everthing else to be the same such as job opportunities, wages?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robcalder Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 When I was 15 I was "seduced" by a very attractive 25 year old woman. I spent an Easter weekend with her. I learned a great deal over those few days and have in the fifty odd years since used that experience and have always treated women with respect, gentility and honesty. By todays standards I was "abused" Every 15 year old man should be so "abused", the world would be a better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
