it's interesting to note that a female gets 6 years for a crime that a male would get a similar sentence for but in another - this 15 year old clearly saw the cash rainbow after her previous conviction and publicity and should not be trusted to tell 100% the truth. How society has changed. A few years ago - not even decades - the reaction would have been "lucky student".

I am glad we recognise the harm it can do now.

Again this article re-enforces the false claim that a sexual encounter, lawful or not can "ruin your life"

Thoughtless people including cops and parents repeatedly make this claim and the result is - any future abuse or rape victim is told beforehand, when your ordeal happens your life is "ruined" for all time.

Germaine Greer believes victim anonymity re-enforces this bogus & damaging propaganda when rape victims should be able to screech about their ordeal from the rooftops.

But I understand how genuine victims may desire anonymity in today's society when every newspaper, policeman and "professional" will proclaim that once you are defiled: your life is ruined for all time.

I think survivor is a much better word than victim. But applied - of course - post conviction to not influence jurors.

Priests got in to the profession to abuse young boys.

Female teachers go in to the profession to abuse young boys.

The world is full of nonces.

Scary thing is we probably have them has neighbours but don't know about it.
