    eh?! the weekends? like he’s grounded? Can he choose which one, otherwise that could overlap with his plans he made for his weekends and that would be a bit harsh!

    I hear people in prison don’t like cops or pedos. Maybe they’ll dole out some justice

    The UK has a pedophile king. Ofc they’re going to be extremely lenient with sexual assault of a minor.

    I get not wanting the victim to have to testify at that age, but how does a plea offer of less than a month in jail even get made for something like this?

    I read that headline as 10 weeks in jail, and thought “that’s not enough time I should reread that” turns out I was wrong but the real headline was worse.

    “I’m not entirely satisfied with the sentence … but ultimately as a prosecutor I have to weigh things like the impact of actually having to testify on the victim of this crime,” said Ontario County Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford. “And she’s a child, and she was going to have to face her accuser in the courtroom. And when I was given the opportunity to consider whether or not we’d take a guilty plea – absolutely, all day, in a circumstance like this.”

    **** edit this is Canada shit, happened in Canada, apologies, I think it’s relevant to the us *****

    It’s really rough. The u.s. judicial system is not prepared to deal with this.

      Ontario is in Canada.

      In fairness, when I saw Rochester I immediately assumed the non-city in the UK.

      Edit: Wait what, it talks about Bristol, also in the UK, but apparently Ontario is also a county in the state of NY (which is again named after a UK city). So you were right, this is 'merica.

        Yeah I thought the UK too, but realised you’d need pretty bad lead poisoning to spell “Shaun” or “Sean” as “Shawn” so that makes more sense 😂

      There is no consent if you’re underage. Period.

      So it’s rape because she can’t consent, because she’s underage. They go hand in hand here.
