Selective Prosecution of Males in Underage Sex Cases?

A 14-year-old Massachusetts boy has been charged with various sex crimes for his involvement in sexual game-playing with three girls aged 12 and 11. Although he too is a minor, the state declined to charge the girls with any wrongdoing.

(P. Note 3 girls and 1 boy. He was easily outnumbered. 3:1 is pretty empowering'.)

Strange as it may seem to say, that type of sexual behavior among children that young is not all that unusual these days.

(P. It was not unusual in my young days either )

Where the plot thickens, though is that his attorney moved the court for an order requiring the state to produce documents showing that its prosecution of the boy was not sexually motivated.

That is, he's claiming that the state discriminates against boys in its decisions about prosecution in sex cases involving minors. The state vociferously objected to the defense motion, but the trial court ruled for the boy and the Supreme Judicial Court agreed.

Now, according to this article in the Boston Globe, the defense has received the documents and is preparing a motion to dismiss all charges against the boy, presumably based on discriminatory prosecution (The Boston Globe, 2/6/09).

I'm no authority on the laws of Massachusetts, but I suspect that he still has a long way to go to get these charges dismissed. Among other things, he'll probably have to show the court that, even if the documents show the state discriminates against males, his prosecution was a direct result of that discrimination.

The state's failure to prosecute the girls for participating in the very activities he's charged with may give him an ace in the hole on that issue.
Stay tuned.

Whether this boy gets his charges dismissed or not, these documents may tell us a lot about whether the State of Massachusetts is stuck in the bad old days when only males could be charged with sex crimes regarding minors.

In the meantime, it's refreshing to read statements that make sense on this issue.

For example, I've always wondered how it is that, when two minors engage in sex, both are perpetrators of statutory rape and both are victims of the same crime.

(P. This is an issue that the MRM has been raising for a L o n g time)

Presumably, both could be convicted and sent to prison and, at the same time, petition the state's crime victim's compensation fund for recompense.

So when the defendant's attorney, Janice Bassill, says "People should be treated the same way under the law. You can't be a perpetrator and a victim too," it has the ring of simple sense.

And let's hear a cheer for someone who actually understands the concept of gender equality. Sarah Wunsch, attorney for the ACLU's Women's Rights Project and Reproductive Freedom Project, which filed a brief in support of the defendant, is one who gets it.

(P. Well bugger my boots. What's the catch?)

“We should not be enforcing the law based on stereotypical notions about girls as not being capable actors in the same way that boys are,’’ Wunsch said. “They are doing what teenagers are doing today -- they are fooling around sexually and the girls are participants in the same way that boys are.’’

(P. I think I need a stiff drink and a lie down !!)

Think about it; we could treat girls, not as a special group of helpless, ever-aggrieved victims, but as they are - individuals whose actions should be judged, for good or ill, according to their merits of demerits. And if we can treat girls that way, maybe we could do the same toward women.

As Molly Ivins once said, "It's a concept."

I hope he gets some satisfactory results.

Consider your boots buggered Percy, buggered, wiped and no need for that stiff one either..

Looking at this from my perspective I see the state up to its classic tricks and the more enlightened tools of femistate letting the cat out of the bag regards the real agenda if anyone cares to consider it..

What does the state do?

It controls people, it wants to control, carrot, yeah, bit of that! Stick? yeah,. plenty of that!!

Because the state is a farmer of human livestock.. It wants to feed off them!

Who does it need to control?

Well, mainly, men.. They are the biggest threat..

How do we control men best?

Pussy power..

Right.. OK..

So, lets clamp down hard on men restrict, restrict, restrict.. Let the women off, they are our tools in doing this!

Ok, job done..

Men are now pretty well pussywhipped into compliance..

Who next?

Well, why not women?

They have too much power now, excess pussy power is causing men to get locked out of the taxpaying pool.. Bad for business.. they are taking the piss!!

So, lets sort of even it up a bit..

Come on now ladies, not too much pussy power, we dont want half the male population demotivated and in jail and costing us more to keep than they could produce as tax payers..!

After all, you little slags, its not as if YOU are going to be putting much in the coffers is it?

The true face of the "equalist" femistate freaks..

They dont care for women any more than they care for men really..

They know what to use a tool/pussypower wielder for..

And they know what to do with it when it plays up and creates trouble and has past its useful stage.. Job done, tools not needed..

There is nothing the state hates more than folk having fun and not paying tax on it or having earned the "right" for it..

A few under age sex gamers do what kids have done throughout history when left unsupervised..

Jail em all, males and female equally?

A victory for the stupid brigade, an example of the good old state tradition of "who needs common sense when you have laws.."

Another example perhaps on why it may have been a good idea to allow fathers to have a bit more influence on how their kids are raised..

The state promotes recreational sex, then punishes the same folk it teaches it to!!

Many more cases like this one should be contested on the grounds of discriminatory prosecution.

I think if you reviewed a broad sample of criminal cases where there was equal culpability between male and female defendants, you'd invariably find a culture of discrimination against males that was systemic throughout.

His parents should file for a lawsuit against the girls for taking advantage of their son. This is retarded. If everyone is underage, what's the point?

To be honest, prosecutors should pay the trial costs for these idiotic trials. They're wasting taxpayer money on shit, besides all the stupidity. I would have dismissed this case as a judge pretty quickly.

It really, really is so hard resisting the urge to yell out: America! Only in f*****g America! Great country it undoubtedly is but honestly - sometimes you want to bop it on the bonz big time for all the weird and bonkers way it goes about doing things a lot of the times. My main gripe with America is the feminist issue - I'm not abolutely sure whether I am correct in sayng that militant feminism took hold in a big way in America much more forcefully and screechingly loudly and vehemently than anywhere else, to such an extent now that many of us Europeans now assume as a matter of course that the large majority of American females are verbally violent stormtroopers in a massive brigade of male bashing lesbo type Boadiceas hell bent on the disembowelling of the male gender and the empowerment of women effected by the promotion of untruths and misrepresentation and deceit not to mention conceit in order to achieve their objectives.

I know this is a bit of an exaggeration to say the least, but the saddest thing is the way so many American men have in turn been subsumed into the whole issue and have become pussified manginas actually turning against their own gender in so many ways, as in this crazy business in MA, USA and most probably elsewhere across that great land way out west across the pond.

Saddest thing of all though is that once America does it, so does the rest of Western societies, as we see for ourselves here in li'l ole UK which is crawling with pussifed, deballsed manginas, living proof of the urge not to upset the girlies and the female camp at any price at all or else it'll be no bonking tonight, ya hear?????

Just my two penceworth, such as it is. I usually express in here what it is passing haphazardly through my (sometimes binkered!) mind at the precise second in time at the pc keyboard after consuming what I read in this great Forum.
