I am really distressed by this, how the hell can she, as a woman, say that a 10year old girl 'consented,' to having sex with 9 men.
If this was in an urban town, like Sydney, then there is no way that those men would EVER get a suspended sentance, regardless of whether she consented or not. She was not at the AGE of consent and they were well over 16.
And what also comes into this is race, just like i saw on the news last night, if it were a white child in sydney there would be uproar, but because it was in a remote Aboriginal town, then it's 'expected'
What has society come to when we cant even rely on our own justice system to advocate for children/victims of rape.
This is appaling and i am totally disgusted and outraged! I hope you all are too!
