Student found guilty of sexual assault on 6-year-old child walks away free.
- Thread starter Puroresu_kid
- Start date
It's Scotland not America. Whilst I have no doubt that a lower class black kid would have faced a penalty, this is absolutely more a class thing than anything else. He's from a well off middle class family studying dentistry. If he was from an estate on job seekers allowance he's be going to prison for many years.
uhhhhhhh.
Maybe there's a specific reason paedophiles can't be dentists. I genuinely can't believe this could happen in the UK.

And before anyone says it: The UK absolutely has an issue with bigotry and racism. Just because it isn't the US doesn't mean racial biases don't exist within European communities.
Haven't you heard, though? Racism is an American thing. Actually, I shouldn't be flippant. I appreciate you saying this, because I'm sick of seeing that sentiment everywhere whenever it's a thread outside of the US.
Well, just to note, he wasn't 18 when he did the acts, that's how old he is now. The courts are usually lenient on people who weren't adults when they committed their crimes.
Hey I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you both.
Well, just to note, 15-17 is absolutely old enough to fucking know better.
This is more classism than anything, most people in Scotland are white. But if this was Tony from the council estate on jobseekers, the judge would be locking him away for as long as possible.
By middle-class, it'll probably be reasonably well off Tory parents, one above who is named as a teacher, and they'll be pulling out all the stops and proclaiming their high-grade achieving dentistry student needs a "second chance".
After sexually assaulting a 6-8 year old... And he's in dentistry which involves working with children. Absolutely mental.
Right? Things would be a lot easier for black and brown people across the world if the only people guilty of persecuting us were limited to one continent.
Could you sell me one closer to Scotland? doubt I'd have much use for that.
Bit of a shit time to crack a joke when two people (that we know of) have been molested by this fuckbag
Fucking pedophile.
"curiosity" fuck that noise. Fuck the incompetent judge who came to this conclusion.
"About concern for his future carreer" WTF. WHO CARES ? HE'S A FUCKIN PEDO RAPIST.

He molested a 6 yo child
There's absolutely no excuse why this guy is not in jail and on the sex offenders list!!
The age of consent is also 16 in Scotland.
He was over the age of consent, will have had high school sex education, and was sexually assaulting a minor.
I hope the family can get this challenged because letting someone who's happy to take advantage of children train to work in a field where he could be around vunerable children on a daily basis is all kinds of fucked. I'm quite ignorant on our court system though.
Reading the report above, it doesn't look like the victims family wanted him to be punished - merely admit that he had done it and then get help.
Wow how infuriating. Coddling a pedophile so he can have access to future victims and hide his crimes better now. Disgusting how they didn't even put him on a probation.
Obviously the kid is an utter shithead and should feel ashamed but even the judge who gave the reason as "to protect his future career" should feel utterly scummy and ashamed themselves. What is the point in even having a law if its this easy to go round it with no consequences. Horrific.
At least his name is on the internet for eternity. Girlfriends, employers, patients, they'll likely know.
There HAS to be corruption at place here. I can't pathom how this went down the way it did without there being some motherfucker who filled his pockets.
I think you can keep that bridge, because this happened in Scotland. This is not about institutionalized racism. It's about class, plain and simple.
That should at least be court mandated therapy or something. Get the kid some form of help if that's what they were asking for instead of just doing nothing.
I aint saying its right to hire some wetwork and have some accidents happen
but i would understand

Consequences for your actions should be the standard for everyone, not something that doesn't matter to a select few based on certain privileges. Even if the family didn't want him to serve a prison sentence, at the very least there needs to be a lengthy community service sentence where hopefully at the end of it he understands and regrets the harm he caused.
Obivously that is probably naive but this case is unacceptable. I would not want that judge anywhere near anything if that's his outlook on offences.

I know what I would do to him if it was my daughter, and it would probably involve me going to jail.
no one in their right mind is going to hire this dude for anything
it's infuriating that this decision was even made by the system though

White privilege exists in Scotland too.
It can be both. It is both
