To wish rape cases in Court were taken as seriously as this Epping sex offender?

So, you think it should have been low priority, that's your issue?

I don't understand. No, he's not the first man to do this, is that an excuse?

So, because many women and girls don't get justice and are victims of sexual harassment - and worse - this man should get off lightly?
Is that what you're saying?
Please clarify.

💯
I'm really unclear where this thread is heading and OP's motivation here.

Well of course he isn't. No one in their right mind is suggesting he is.
But we're talking about this particular man aren't we.

I know a rapist who got off so let’s let them all off 🫥

I can't comment on that. I'm commenting on this particular case that you've started a threat about.

He apparently tried to blame the girl and claim that she was the one acting inappropriately towards him. He absolutely deserves prison time for this.

It's good he's been made an example of as apparently he didn't know 'how strict the UK was' and clearly thought this was an acceptable way to treat a woman & a child. Hopefully others will learn from this.

The idea is that he won't be granted asylum and will be deported, not imprisoned in this country. Anyone who has come here alleging ill treatment (and yet even whilst awaiting a decision) has proved to be a threat to women has lost all goodwill. I'm sure you'll agree that it's very hard to sympathise with a man who cries about his own personal safety whilst inflicting fear on women and minors.

When he is let out of prison she means. He apparently wants to be deported so 🥳🥳🥳.
And he did more than touch a woman & child on the leg, hence the 12 month prison sentence.

Yes. We are all racist because we do not want imported, illegal men sexually assault our children. Yes you are so superior. Yes, we have a lot home grown rapist. Yes, people had enough of men of unknown background coming here and 8 days later deciding that a 14 year old schoolgirl is a partner for sex.

When he is let out from where? I haven't read the news story but if OP is correct he touched a woman and a child on their legs and made a disgusting comment. If that's an imprisonable offence we're going to have to build a few thousand new prisons.

It’s almost as weird as the sentences given out to the people involved in the Southport riots. If only all unruly antisocial behaviour could be expedited in the same way and all people involved in criminal behaviour could be given such strong sentences. If only.

Of course men don't give a shit about rape cases, we all know that OP. And yes, some of the men protesting about asylum seekers are going to be fucking nasty hypocrites. But it doesn't stop me, as a woman, not wanting to import even more violent sex offenders. And it sickens me to the stomach that Article 3 of the ECHR has been used by a lawyers to block deportation. This includes those involved in the Bradford grooming gangs. Everyone losses the right to be protected from (alleged) ill treatment in their own country the minute he rapes or abuses a woman or child in this country.

We know that this sort of behaviour escalates. It is good that this man has been charged before it could. I am concerned with what happens when he is let out. I am also concerned with the many rape and sexual assault cases that don't get taken seriously and never make it to court.
As someone who was on the receiving end of sexual assault from a stranger in a public space, I am concerned it wasn't taken seriously enough and I was fobbed off with that man still roaming the streets.i wasn't able to stop it from happening to another woman despite reporting it, giving a statement and providing a photo.

Women aren't taken seriously, the process is hideous, if it makes it to prosecution the sentences are derisory and makes a mockery of what the victim went through.

If you're outraged that some cases get to court quicker than others then that's a good point to hold in mind.

Anything is possible if the political will is there.

Rape cases are being placed in the calendar for 2027, maybe even 2028 - that's shockingly bad.

Men are taking crimes against women and using them to push their political beliefs rather than help women.

That’s because when the right whinge talk about “protecting women and children,” they don’t mean keeping them safe from harm.

They mean protecting them the way you protect a possession. That’s why it’s always our women and children. In their heads, it’s like property, you can mistreat what’s yours, but god forbid if someone else does.

Are abusive men using the sex crimes of immigrants as an excuse for racism? Absolutely. Do they care about home-grown abuse of women? No.

BUT

We can - and should - care about more than one thing at a time and it makes sense to deal with the easy wins first. Rooting out home-grown abusers will require a wholesale change of culture in our police and justice systems, as well as our culture more widely. We absolutely should do this and focus should be put on it. But it won't be a quick win.

Getting rid of imported rapists and sex offenders can be done way, way quicker. The ball could be got rolling today if only there was the political will. We can make it much harder for them to come into the country much sooner than we can deal with the home-grown deviants.

It's legitimate to focus on immigrant sex-offenders, as it reduces risk to women and children much more quickly. And given we already have a huge problem with sex offenders, we'd be absolute idiots to keep adding to it. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

It did go on for months yes. There were multiple vigils, protests and marches involving hundreds of people.
