Such a horrendous story where a girl of 15 died, with compressions to her neck, but only three years in prison? Crazy.

It's absolutely awful that her parents lost their 15 year old and also had to listen to him say that she spent her final night having this oaf bite her breasts and compress her neck, as if this is anything a 15 year would suggest she wanted him to do on a first meeting. It's all so porn soaked and desperately sad.

My God. Heart-breaking. It feels like there is a never ending stream of men being murderous/violent to young women.
FFS.
When I was 15, we went out to get snogged or fingered. He BIT her and COMPRESSED her neck. Even just that is horrendous. As for what he did next, there are no words.

I am outraged by this sentence.
This man goomed this child online, persuaded her to catch a train to meet him, plied her with vodka, until she was totally inebriated, sexually assualted her, applied neck compression and left her on a bench in a park in below zero temperatures.
Three years!!! And he will be out in 18 months.

Its fucking awful, and we've only got his word she wanted any of it.

I can think of plenty of Scots, male and female, who'd consider themselves very much upstanding citizens, who would probably be of the opinion that she knew what she was doing so what did she expect? Nowadays they might not say it out loud but they'll definitely think it. There's a mean, puritanical streak in our psyche.
