I remember the case of a young g teenage girl in Scotland who had been the victim of rape.She was put on the witness stand and treated so badly that the wee soul committed suicide.
That must have been over 20 years ago and the legal profession still wants to blame the victim and excuse the males,boys in this case ,for their horrific actions.
Surely these judges are wel enough educated to understand rape is probably the worst crime a woman will experience and many never recover from it .The punishment should fit the crime .
The boys who killed Jamie Bulger were 10 and they were locked up,these boys were old enough to know what they were doing.
