Well, after all the shenanigans in the courtrooms Oscar Pistorius is going to be home for Christmas. A big smile on his face and bail set at £457 he must think that Santa has come early this year. South African justice!

Or British justice - an adult female babysitter seduced an 11 year old boy and got a suspended sentence, the sentence was appealed but appears to have been upheld! Now if an adult man had shagged the 11 year old he was meant to be looking after I guess a long prison sentence could be expected!

He might not get prison sentence if he (1) works for the BBC (2) Is a member of parliament (is there a joke in that) (3) Is of an ethnic group for whom is part of their culture.

I wish people would stop talking about this one case as if it's representative of the entire British justice system.

The entire British Justice System is based upon 11 years old boys willing to sell their sisters to Arab slave traders to get shagged by any woman, whatever age.

Cheers for that, those are interesting reads. I will note that the mitigating/aggravating circumstances often differ in cases of female sex offenders, even if the crime is the same, but I don't doubt there's a disparity. This particular case just seems an extreme example, amd it's frustrating to read people say things like "oh, well she's female, she'll get away with it".

I can think of at least 3 others that have "gotten away with it" in the last year or so too. It happens with depressing regularity.

Coincidentally Maggie Kirkpatrick, who played The Freak" in Prisoner was one of the ones who didn't get away with it.
