Olympian/former world champion Mark Jamieson admits to child sex charges

Absolutely. This is why I generally favour the status quo. We have a fairly broad legislation with, as mentioned upthread, a range of judicial lattitude. A judge can apply a tailored degree of sensitivity to the case as set before them. I'd far rather a sliding scale placed at the judicial end of the law rather than the prosecutive. In the latter it has often proved to be inadequate and disasterous.
+freakin'1. And I say that as a former prosecutor. Give the judges the discretion. Saw a guy get a suspended sentence for "rape" in France. It was a loving relationship with an age gap that, unfortunately for him, put him on the wrong side of the law. Girl's dad didn't like him, and away we go. Sensible judging, IMNSVHO.
