Male able to get away with child sex abuse with no prison time. Sometimes it goes the other way, but probably the most important part is how his responsibility was diminished by being "underage", and tricked by "adults".

I don't see how his defense has any relevance to a men's rights subreddit, but I think the most significant part is:

The sentence has caused a backlash online. Two days after it was imposed, a petition to the White House was created to seek the judge’s removal from the bench. The petition, which called Degeest a sympathizer for a “toddler rapist,” now has more than 7,000 signatures.

A separate White House petition, which has more than 15,000 signatures, is seeking the removal of another judge, District Judge Myron Gookin, who accepted the plea deal with Grooms in July

Similar to the Brock Turner case, also mentioned in the article, it's not that males never get light sentences for sex crimes, but that in those rare cases that they do, there is without fail immediate and passionate national outrage, petitions, campaigns, and sometimes even law changes

Whereas conversely women frequently get sentences like probation for sex crimes and yet society accepts it often without any protest at all. There's an overall sentencing disparity between males and females, with sex crimes more than any others, that goes beyond individual incidents--and even more so a disparity is how society as a whole perceives male sex abusers compared with female

“... they successfully convinced hundreds of children to engage in sexual activity while they surreptitiously recorded it,”

Makes me wonder why this group of pornographers and other children weren't outed by the media. I won't be surprised if they are women and young girls.

You'd think 'hundreds of boys were convinced by a group of men to sexually abuse toddlers' makes for better click bait.

This has no real business here. No one here thinks men are infallible.
