Argentinian judges reduce rapist's sentence because six-year-old victim "was gay"

[shenmue]

Story here

Get ready to throw something across the room.

From the article:

“It cannot be considered abuse when a boy is used to being abused in his home and is accustomed to sexual behavior and has a homosexual orientation,” Horacio Piombo and Benjamín Sal Llargués said.

Piombo defended the ruling in interviews on Monday, saying that before Tolosa molested the boy, the child had already suffered “the initiation by his father into the worst of worlds, leading him to depravation.”

3. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!

Someone raped a 6yo boy and yet, it wasn't "that bad" because he had already been victimized?! THAT....DOESN'T.....MAKE...SENSE!!! It also sounds as if the judge thinks homosexuality is the problem, not the fucking crime, y'know the RAPE!

WHAT THE FUCK!

5. WTF???!!!!!!

And what this seems to imply is that: once a child has been abused, it's perfectly OK for other people to abuse them!!!

Ugh. I thought the British judicial system was bad, especially at protecting children from abuse, but.... words fail me!
