Based Judge Jails Woman Who Raped Man, Says "there’s no distinction between male and female rape - the fact that a male is the victim doesn’t make it any less serious than the rape of a female victim"

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Judge is doing the right thing. Feels like a hero, but should be the norm.

Far too many cases of women raping men and boys and getting no jail time; I was glad to see that in this case at least the judge and prosecutor stand up for the victim. Especially considering how difficult it must have been for the victim to come forward about this and give his impact statement. I would recommend reading the whole article if you can

Unfortunately I still see so many people who like to say things like "being raped by a woman can't be that bad," "a guy would just get over it right away," "it's not physically damaging," etc. The victim, the judge, and the prosecutor do a good job at challenging this myth that male victims of sexual abuse by a woman aren't negatively affected by it

Can we replace all the judges in the UK with clones of this one? We need more people with this attitude.

Rape paralysis is a very real and terrifying reflex that you have no control over. I'm lying there screaming STOP while trying to throw her off and my brain realizes that the only way out of this would give her bruises, incriminating me for my own rape. Suddenly I could no longer scream, no longer move, and no longer even breathe. My brain just decided to play dead and it was the most terrifying feeling of my life. Imagine you ejaculate from rape but she continues grinding on your raw ejaculated penis for several more excruciating minutes while you lie there frozen unable to breathe or scream.

Isn't UK law gendering rape, and explicitly include only penetration as the defining factor of rape?

Also note the use of the term 'parity'... This seems like a pretty feminist influenced judge.

Someone give this judge a medal! ⚖️✊️

HAnicetry214 · 2023-03-15T03:13:54+00:00

This is awesome news to see

Revolutionary_Town21 · 2023-03-15T05:23:09+00:00

Exactly, a rapist (man/woman) should be jailed and left to rot

LeButtMonkey · 2023-03-15T07:44:41+00:00

Only 4 years for rape?

another-cosplaytriot · 2023-03-15T05:51:49+00:00

It's nice to read, but what do you bet the end result will be about 40% less sentencing time, as per usual.

Jacklshere · 2023-03-15T07:46:20+00:00

While I will always applaud progress, it's kinda sad that has to be said in the first place.

beleidigtewurst · 2023-03-15T08:40:33+00:00

Remind me about this story, once it goes through appeals court.

Brad Pitt also got shared parenting first, but then...

needalife94 · 2023-03-15T06:35:18+00:00

Finally a person of power said it !!

Boring_Astronomer121 · 2023-03-15T07:05:04+00:00

Gigachad lawyer.

asplorer · 2023-03-15T04:10:02+00:00

Let's just pray that the decision is not overturned knowing it's UK and judge is made to apologise or loose job for making such 'insensitive' statement.

matrixislife · 2023-03-15T05:01:41+00:00

No, sorry, this is how we want things to be, but not how they are right now. I absolutely love his comments and attitude, but I suspect that this is going to get "put right" on appeal.
Even if it does though, that a judge has come out with something like this on a national level has to speak towards changing attitudes across the board. If anyone feels that pushing for equal treatment is a wasted effort, this is the evidence that it isn't, we're having an effect.

Super Based Judge, who obeys the Code of Justice. Well done! Women must never be simped for or spared from the consequences.

endtimes_economist · 2023-03-15T11:13:15+00:00

So what was the sentence?

dleon0430 · 2023-03-15T11:55:03+00:00

Tell that to the cops who ignored me when I reported my assailants.

Qbking333 · 2023-03-15T14:11:53+00:00

W judge

(Raises glass) (nods in approval)

Shadowdragon409 · 2023-03-15T17:51:58+00:00

The fact that even needs to be said is depressing.

Lasttoflinch · 2023-03-15T04:00:20+00:00

Unfortunately, there's obviously distinctions between male and female rape simply by legal definitions. As rape has a harsher sentencing guideline compared to 'causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent', there is likely to be sentencing disparity between the two offences.

Ordering Lord to serve two years in jail and two under supervised licence conditions

The accused is effectively ordered to serve 2 years in jail and 2 years of probation, excluding potential sentence remission. By contrast, in a recent case, a Darlington man was jailed for 4 years and 4 months for raping a woman in her sleep. There is no mention if he'll be serving any length of his sentence under licence, so I assume he'll be spending the entire term in custody as that's the default position.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

randomusername1934 · 2023-03-15T07:23:16+00:00

It's a good first step, and I apologise for the pessimism here, but this looks like a finding that is going to get torn apart at appeal.

gafgone5 · 2023-03-15T09:02:08+00:00

They're finally starting to say this because the alternative to legal action would be to make her disappear.

spletharg2 · 2023-03-15T10:44:25+00:00

Well I hope this sets a precedent.

Sensitive-Ad6609 · 2023-03-15T13:41:01+00:00

Absolutely true. I respect that judge.

63daddy · 2023-03-15T16:45:39+00:00

Note, while the article uses the word rape, she didn’t actually confess to the crime of rape and I don’t believe that’s what she was convicted of. She’s only going to serve 2 years for her crime.

This certainly doesn’t seem gender equal.

cjgager · 2023-03-15T17:30:27+00:00

absolutely correct -

BobStoker · 2023-03-15T11:37:22+00:00

This is when feminists come out of the woodwork to talk about how equality is actually a bad thing

Opposite-Bullfrog-57 · 2023-03-15T17:33:44+00:00

Do all judges have to make decisions like this?

Boondocksenjoyer · 2023-03-15T21:02:37+00:00

W judge glad the judge isn't braindead and goes "oh wow that's hot" it's kinda sad he even needs to say that we need more people like the judge
