BARRIE -- A sex assault trial that hung on claims of a large penis was turned into a "cheap joke" by media coverage, a superior court judge said yesterday as she found the accused guilty.
Justice Margaret Eberhard said she was disturbed after receiving calls "from afar" and was ribbed numerous times over the trial in which a man claimed he could not be guilty of rape because his penis is too big.
"Whether I find him guilty or innocent -- he is publicly humiliated," she told court just before finding the man guilty.
"Nowhere was it reported that this trial represents a tragedy between real human beings," she said.
"All that was sacrificed for a cheap joke -- you all deserve better than that."
A 22-year-old student, who can't be identified, claimed his penis is too big to insert into an average vagina without special preparation or it causes bleeding and scarring.
A urologist brought to court a plastic model that depicted the size of the member at a semi-relaxed state, which measured 8 1/2 inches long and 6 1/2 inches in girth.
Court heard the male and female were close friends and often slept in the same bed, but one night the man forced her to have sex after partying together at a Barrie pub.
In the end, the judge accepted that the accused is "unusually large" but she noted the female was never questioned on the witness stand about it, nor did she report any physical pain, discomfort or injury.
The judge said she did not believe the accused, suggesting he made up his testimony as he went along, while the female was consistent.
"This time, he crossed the line. And thus, a friendship was betrayed," Eberhard said.
The judge asked for a statement from the victim advising how the justice system can make it easier to come forward after a sexual assault by someone they trusted. The man will be sentenced later this month.
I hope somebody comes along and inserts some sense into this thread.
Not for sentencing.
He'll get a stiff sentence, that's for sure.
I am!
Wonder if his attorney said "If the condom doesn't fit, you must acquit"?
Now, now, let's not get into condom-nation here. This is a PG-rated site (snicker!)
"S'cuse me while I whip this out."
I wonder if he carries around the court transcript to impress the ladies?
Since it was the media that made a joke of this, could this actually be a case of "Post Climatic Press Disorder?"
And not the good screams.
Then again,perhaps she became less enthused with the proposition once she commenced the special preps? He didn't want to stop though.
The judge asked for a statement from the victim advising how the justice system can make it easier to come forward after a sexual assault by someone they trusted.
I thought the ribbing was for her pleasure.
It is my firmly-held belief that the entire culture of radical Islam is based on small penis size. I'm not kidding.
Yes...but it only applies to male members of the group...that is, to all Dicks, but not the Janes.
I thought the mans name was,I'va Biggin
Post-9/11, there was an unsubstantiated rumor that Osama's hatred was based on an American woman belittling his penis size. South Park, of course, had fun with that one.
