Eyup, not sure bout Australia, but in the U.S., rape is basically defined as any unwanted attention that can be construed as sexual in nature. This means you can be convicted as a rapist if you hug someone. One of the officials at my college came in and basically did a "rape awareness" talk, and one of the players he was scouting years ago got convicted of raping an entire playground of children at school. He was playing explicit music, after dropping his lil brother off, while his windows were down. A teacher heard it and pressed charges. The bad thing? If his windows had been rolled up, he might have gotten off, though his life still would have been fucked.Hookah said:This chap gets it. We need more details of the case before drawing judgment.krazykidd said:Wait. Define rape , the article doesn't really say what she was doing . She said she was trying to give her sex ed , which could be anything , i really need more information.
On a lighter note, considering Australia is one giant prison anyway, even after she gets out, she's still in prison. Ho ho ho ho.

We should throw her into the water, give her 5 hours in there or until the wildlife kills her. If it doesn't, throw into the outback with no supplies and tell every town to wach out for and not aid her. Then see how long before the wildlife gets her.Fawxy said:5 years for permanently traumatizing a child? Good to know you feel that way. /sarcasmBathorysGraveland said:Well I'd say a 5 year prison sentence (on average), followed by consistent psychological help (for both victim and offender) is a reasonable term for these kinds of offences. That said, I think this case in particular needs to be taken a little more seriously than what it has been taken.
OT: Either off her or institutionalize her. She doesn't deserve to be a part of society. Given this is Australia though, that first option seems unlikely.
Please Stop, I would have been better off not knowing that.FelixG said:one year, plus three years of probation, to be exact.CobraX said:Only 4 years?!
