racist!

Melbourne boy. Great work. :(

He had a threesome with them.

Seems wrong that there is so little distinction made between raping a child and getting it on with a couple of teenagers, especially when the chap is so young as well. (24 is young, isn't it? I find it hard to tell anymore)

Aussies always have to try to be better at everything then everyone else ;p

bloody hell

Thats what I was thinking.

When I was at school loads of the girls (around 16) seemed to have boyfriends in the early-mid 20's

There are many societies around the world where girls still get married at 13.

And dont forget there is plenty of 13 year girls in this very country who are mothers already.

The Aussies are getting a bit OTT about this sort of thing lately. Like that chap who got imprisoned for simpsons porn FFS! it is hard to search for things like software downloads WITHOUT seeing stuff like simpsons porn.

And what about Japan? They have a whole industry of porn comics featuring child-like girls, the have rape simulator computer games, and mainstream soft porn featuring 14 year old girls dancing in swimsuits etc.

And there is the british 14 year old girl who has gained applause at doing this cosplay soft porn dancing shit: http://new.uk.music.yahoo.com/blogs/guestlist/25685/14-year-old-british-schoolgirl-set-to-top-japanese-charts/

And is set to go to Japan for the mandems to rub their trouser legs at.

There needs to be some balance and reason in the world.

^ I agree. Whilst 15 and 16-year old girls (or boys for that matter) are still pretty vulnerable, this isn't "child sex". Still, illegal though, and probably a goo thing.

That Girls dad is an inspector in the IoM police force. http://www.gov.im/dha/police/northern.xml

Shakes head and loads gun.

Funny bunch of inbreds on the IoM though are you sure its her father and not older brother?

From Ramsey, so I can not be sure. just be glad they have opposable thumbs.

and only at 21 are you 'free to all'.

If you're old enough to drink, drive and vote at 18, I'm pretty sure you must be eligible to shag whomever you please...

you're old enough to shag whomever you please at 16 in this country, which is maybe where it's all gone wrong. Maybe if the legal age was 18, there wouldn't be so many 14 year olds getting pregnant.

then again, if the legal age was 12, there wouldn't be so much underage sex going on. it's a proper thinker.

Nambla

It allows for a degree of judicial lattitude to take into consideration the finer points of the case.

Quite often the conditions for conviction, sentencing and perception of future threat to public safety will be more lenient where the victim is closer to the age of majority. At the end of the day, "getting it on with a couple of teenagers" is still a crime and still rape. When the word rape is used it is often percieved as a violent crime of forced sexual activity. In reality it's an act of sexual activity without one parties consent of their own reasoned free will. Any person beneath the age of majority is deemed legally incapable of having the capacity to determine consent of reasoned free will. Ultimately the fact remains for a fair judicial system to be in place a line must be drawn somewhere.

Take your above statement about "getting it on with a couple of teenagers" and now add a hypothetical factor where one of the teenagers suffered from emotional retardation and learning difficulties. Is it still "getting it on with a couple of teenagers" or would you want that to be seen as an act of rape?

I think the fact he is a young guy is neither here nor there. The girl was 15 and he is in his 20s - let's not assume a 15 year old is mature enough to decide to shag a grown man, the guy made a dodgy choice.

Being a teacher, I can assure you that 15 year olds are very much children.

Haha, that last sentence sounded slighlty sinister.

Pffft...

I do not believe half the clowns in this country or mine should have the right to vote... at any age.

^it's stupid to assume that the day before your 16th birthday your not mature enough and 2 days later you are...there shouldnt be a line as rigid as that. in portugal, if someone is underaged (-18) it's an offense if the sexual partner is more than 4 years older: a 13yo can have sex with a 16yo but a 16yo "can't" have sex with a 20yo. which I believe, makes sense...

Seldom Killer, I agree with what you say, but just having these charges brought against you can ruin your whole life, no matter what the courts eventually rule. I think there is a big difference between 'stupid' and 'peadophile sexual predator', such as the case of the American girl, now listed as a child sex offender who distributed child pornography because she foolishly SMS'd a naked picture of herself to her highschool boyfriend.

On the otherhand, they are idiots, so I don't know why I'm caring.
