A few days back people were up in arms about a school teacher and a teddy bear, and [justifiably] about a woman being punished for being gang raped, how come they aren’t equally upset about a 10 year old Australian Aboriginal girl getting gang raped - and the judge handing out suspended sentences all ’round?

Revelations that a judge released nine people who had been found guilty of raping a 10-year-old girl because she “probably agreed to have sex” have sparked a massive round of soul-searching within Australia about the problem of abuse within Aboriginal communities.

[…..]

Ms Bradley told the offenders in her sentencing remarks that it was illegal to have sex with anyone younger than 16, but that the victim in this case “was not forced and she probably agreed to have sex with all of you,”

Sure she did you racist sack of shit your honour, all 10 year old girls have the capacity to make such a decision.

I’m not gonna bother asking if the judge would have arrived at the same conclusion if it had been a little white girl who was gang raped but somehow I can imagine it would be somewhat different than a bunch of suspended sentences

– if there was ever a case to be made for public flogging in this day and age district court judge Sarah Bradley makes it.
