Woman posed as man to bed girl

CRIMES victims groups are angry a woman who disguised herself as a man to seduce a 15-year-old schoolgirl will not be jailed.

The woman was found guilty of nine charges of sexually penetrating a child under 16 - potentially attracting a jail term of up to 90 years.

But she walked free last month with a suspended sentence and a community-based order.

The schoolgirl victim is devastated. And crimes victims groups are lobbying the Director of Public Prosecutions to appeal against "a ridiculously soft decision".

The case arose from a sexual relationship between a woman, 22, and the schoolgirl in a Victorian provincial city.

The County Court heard the affair lasted 2½ years, but ended when police told the schoolgirl her lover was a woman.

Neither party can be identified.

The sentencing judge took into account a psychiatrist's opinion that doing time in a women's jail would cause the woman "considerable emotional distress" because she considered herself a man.

But victims groups are furious. "What about the victim's considerable emotional distress?" said victims advocate Noel McNamara who vowed his group, the People's Sentencing Advisory Council, would pressure the DPP to appeal against the sentence.

An Office of Public Prosecutions spokesman said a decision had not been made whether to appeal.

The nine charges related to one instance of oral sex and eight where a sex toy was involved.

The court heard the relationship came to an end last year in "acrimonious circumstances" with both parties taking out intervention orders.

The DPP has two weeks to lodge an appeal.

Poor soul. Just doing her job furthering the homosexual agenda and getting her hands on the children.

>That explains why they murder rape victims and let the rapists walk

"Convicted Iranian rapists Amir Karbalai and Farhad Aghanarian hang from the cable of a crane in Tehran's Azadi (Freedom) square at dawn September 29, 2002. In Iran the death penalty is usually reserved for murder, rape, armed robbery and drug trafficking. A total of 5 were publicly hung."

You know, when there's war, sometimes there's propaganda that's designed to push emotive "buttons." Do you really believe that any culture free of psychiatrists would let violent offenders like rapists go free?!

Honor Killing even for being a victim of rape.

Though a growing number of Palestinians find honor killings unacceptable, the practice continues. "No one knows the magnitude, because no one has conducted a study," said Lisa Taraki, associate professor of sociology at Birzeit University. Women's organizations have mobilized against the killings, but are furious that the practice continues in spite of the legal prohibitions. The killings violate the right to life upheld in versions of the draft Basic Law and openly discriminate against women. The woman alone is punished for the "crime;" whereas the man, who may have raped his victim, is considered an innocent party and often walks free.

Sometimes it isn't just propaganda.

Liberals are poison to any judidial system.

Yeah, I never could get the hang of Tuesdays...

[Bullish]

"judicial" system. Sheesh! I can't spell or remember spell check today.

[Ditto]

If I commit a crime, I will claim I consider myself a golf ball and insist I do my time, if anywhere, at Pebble Beach.

Does that mean people can wack you around the practice tee all day with a 5 iron? ;~))

The sentencing judge took into account a psychiatrist's opinion that doing time in a women's jail would cause the woman "considerable emotional distress" because she considered herself a man.

This makes no sense. A man would love to be put into a jail full of women. Therefore a woman who "considers herself a man" should feel the same.

That couldn't hurt as much as my typical round of golf. :^{

Well, when there are no
studies, let alone studies
you can trust, IT IS

just propaganda.
The very fact "women's" groups
are involved says so.

After all, such groups
sometimes call all straight sex "rape." *
Let's be skeptical.

I guess she never realized that, according to her beliefs, she aided a rapist (sound of femminist head imploding).

"No one knows the magnitude, because no one has conducted a study,"

So the logical conclusion is that it doesn't happen? Despite plentiful evidence that you reject out of some misogynistic paranoia? You are wasting time. Have fun with your denial.

The discussion, here,
was how the stories are used,
not if they happened.

It's a wide, wide world.
Bad things happen every day.
No one says they don't.

But propaganda
takes events, holds them up as
representative . . .

Only close study
can tell us if events are
random happenings

or an in-grained part
of a culture. Heck, we hear
lots of reports of

priests abusing boys.
Nobody denies the news.
But most people don't

hold up the events
as defining qualities
of Western Christians.

Rigorous thinking
is never a waste of time.
Propaganda is.

[calenel]

You are the one that makes the claim that, because "Women's groups" are involved, it is automatically propaganda. These Women's Groups are not the feminazis of Western Civilization Liberalism such as Marilyn French, but rather the Islamic version of women's organization. A completely different animal (which your so-called rigorous thinking did not allow you to recognize).
