Lesbian, 42, fondled drunk 15-year-old schoolgirl in tent, jailed for 32 months. Compare media & cultural silence when a man does something remotely similar, like the male footballer recently charged-even though the crime and the age gap is LESS.

And many social networks have petitions against the man calling him a PAEDOPHILE as the BBC refers to the accuser as 'a child' though BOTH people in both cases were the same age. Meanwhile the only reports I can find about the lesbian abusing a drunk girl don't refer to her as a child. And there's no social media petitions to prevent her ever working after her sentence.

Are you talking about Adam Johnson? Man that girl legitimately was lucky. Why the fuck can't we just accept that 15-year-olds are sexual creatures? Maybe because most people (in the first world) are ashamed about feeling attraction to them? It's a case of the ladies protesting too much, methinks.

Meanwhile I rarely go for anyone younger than 30 and I have no problem admitting that it's nearly always been nearly universally normative—and healthy—for 15-year-olds to be sexually active even with older adults. Again, it's not my cup of tea, but frankly that makes me the weirdo, and I'm fine with that.

I completely blame spineless parents who are squeamish about talking to their children about sex and need the state to basically do their parenting for them when it comes to protecting their brats from sexual experiences that they (the parents) don't like, by insituting ridiculously draconian punishments for completely natural behavior. Now I don't know much about the case in quesrion here, but with Johnson there is no question that it was not just consensual but a dream come true for the so-called victim, even after it happened—at least until she got in trouble. Because yeah, "protecting" fifteen year olds by telling them they're victims of rape and making them feel even shittier about what they did than they would if you called them dumb sluts is an awesome idea.

It is interesting that she has received such a heavy sentance - nearly 3 years. I will be surprised if the footballer gets more.

Wonder which is more of an increase in sentence having a female victim or being a male perpetrator.

I saw this. The comments on the lady criminal mention the double standards but the Johnson ones have all Paedo comments. Funny how she isn't considered a Paedo, it's like that term is reserved for men, acting like men can be Rapists and Paedos but Women can't

I'm sure Jezebel is going to have a long scathing article about this. /s
