Not surprising. Why do they all get away with it?

"This is clearly very serious offending."

Clearly you don't think so, Judge Cotterell

And just a few months earlier https://au.news.yahoo.com/vic/a/31100568/no-jail-for-vic-woman-over-teen-sex/

This is very significant. About a decade ago there was this big watershed moment in Victoria where it seemed that the courts would finally start sending female child rapists to jail. http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/Sex-offender-teacher-weeps-as-she-is-jailed/2005/05/05/1115092625987.html

Justice Callaway said the failure to jail Ellis had "unintentionally violated the rule of equality before the law, including equality of concern for male and female victims and equality in the sentencing of male and female offenders". "Nevertheless I have concluded that, even now, the respondent must be required to serve part of her sentence in prison. Unless that is done, the principle of equality will not be observed."

It seems the courts in Victoria have gone back decades in their lenient treatment of female child rapists.

It's also interesting that the two flagship newspapers, the Herald Sun, and The Age, are both not reporting on this.

An article in the Herald-Sun April 5, 2010, referred to a case where Judge Barbara Cotterell’s “instincts” were ruled to be well wide of the sentencing mark when she dealt with a man who indecently assaulted two boys aged 11 and 12, and raped one of them, while a tenant in their father’s home.
