Guilty of sexual assault of a 6 year old girl - but no consequences

[feministfairy]

Do the rights and safety of little girls in Scotland matter so little to the judiciary? This defies belief:

I don't understand why he isn't being punished, despite being found guilty?

This man could get a job working with young children and his employers would be none the wiser.

How dare a little girl ruin a young man's reputation

So she's a child and men can't help it so what's the point?

Fucks sake. You'd get more nicking a pack of cheese from.tesco.

How dare they let him.go free

HOW does someone being middle class mean they don’t get punished for paedophilia? Or rape? HOW is this our country? There is something truly rotten here. It stinks of eugenics frankly

Is is awful. Is there a petition?

What the fuck did I just read?

Paedophilia is rampant in our society. I am utterly convinced of it - especially amongst those in power - and they protect each other.

This is incomprehensible.

Someone will start a petition, surely?

I couldn't see this article on the Times app, has it been removed? What a disgraceful ruling.

Fucking hell.

They need to explain this. There can be no reason to let him off. He won't change, they never do.

WTF? WTAF is going on in Scotland?

I cannot think of a single reason why he shouldn’t be on the sex offenders register and punished? X

He won’t even be put on sex offenders list
STV covered it last night
Didn’t seem like bbc did
The offences took place over 2 years

Girls are never too young. That is what pur patriarchal society believes. Paedophilia is not a rare psychosexual disease, it is commonplace.

This is outrageous!! Surely if there were exceptional circumstances then he should at least be placed on the sex offenders register? What about safeguarding others?

@Sarahjconnor that is a scary thought. Bloody hell.

It's still there - beside the article about Resisters and their brilliant shirts.

I'm still a bit in shock that not only can this be the verdict but that officials then double down to confirm that there's nothing wrong - move along - nothing to see.

I honestly do not understand this at all.

I hope people will complain to the General Dental Council, which is the body that will decide whether this man can be registered as a dentist.

That poor family. What a disgrace.

Yes I don’t understand. He was found guilty
But not even sexual offenders register
Nothing
Nothing

Imagine that child's feelings - hours of questioning before and during the court case, your abuser is found guilty and then - he walks away without any consequences. What message must she get from this?
