Apologies if this is a duplicate, I couldn't see a thread anywhere.
Yet another woman murdered by her violent jealous partner. But the reporting of this one is really disturbing.
I've looked at a few different news outlets coverage of this and they are all using the same language - she was murdered after her estranged husband discovered she was having a 'sexual relationship' with a 15 yr old boy. It's consistently referred to as a relationship and he is also consistently referred to as a boy. In some reports they state her age as 47.
Why is this not called out for what it is? Child sexual abuse. It seems that when it's an adult female with a male child, we as a society turn a blind eye. I'm not trying to take anything away from the tragedy of yet another woman murdered by a violent man, I'm just really troubled by the lack of recognition that this child cannot consent to being in a relationship with a woman 32 yrs older than him. He is a victim of both her exploitation and his violence. Yet his trauma is being ignored.
