15 year old prosecuted for rape, 11 yr old enjoying pregnancy
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...st/4764417.stm
I mean seriously, what the **** is that prosecution going to achieve? If an 11 yr old can have unprotected sex whilst on a night out* and not cry rape why bother ruining the life of a 15yr old boy? I feel desperately sorry for the poor boy.
*I wasn't allowed nights out with my friends till i 17ish

i hope the constant manrapings over the next few years show him the error of his ways. and that he then kills himself.
who knows; with a kid like that next thing he probably would have tried weed.

Re: 15 year old prosecuted for rape, 11 yr old enjoying pregnancy
Why has she not been prosecuted too?
She had sex with a fifteen year old boy, and that's illegal as far as I'm aware...

She can't be prosecuted for rape, obviously, but there are plenty of other offences that don't require the person committing them to be male.
(I don't see any reason why she's not guilty of sexual activity with a child, ss9 and 13 of the SOA, for instance.)

Re: 15 year old prosecuted for rape, 11 yr old enjoying pregnancy
It's for this reason that anyone I have sex with could become pregnant and keep the baby that I have taken up celibacy as of 1 month ago.

Maybe, but I think there's probably some difference between an 11 year old and a 15 year old.

It was in August last year, so there's a good chance he was actually 14 at the time. And though it's easy for 14-year-old girls to look like they're 21 it's rather harder for 14- and 15-year-old boys to look 16.
Oh, and it has to be "reasonable" belief, as you say, so they'd have to ask questions like "Did you ask him how old he was?" and "Did you not think it slightly odd that you thought he was significantly older than all the other friends you were going out with?". (It's also quite likely they went to the same school, so if she knew which year he was in she's screwed (see, I can do puns in bad taste too).)

Re: 15 year old prosecuted for rape, 11 yr old enjoying pregnancy
Does the SOA act deliberatly use the term "he" to mean "only a male", or does it mean "he or she"?

there is no use of 'she' in the document. even when they use a pronoun to refer to the victim, they use he.
i'd assume it means 'he or she'

"He" is the standard pronoun for an unknown gender in english. It's a whole 50% shorter than the frankly unwieldy "they".

Re: 15 year old prosecuted for rape, 11 yr old enjoying pregnancy
s6 of the Interpretation Act 1978 provides that "in any Act, unless the contrary intention appears, words importing the masculine gender include the feminine; words importing the feminine gender include the masculine; words in the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular."
(Plus if it had meant to exclude women it would obviously have started "a man" rather than "a person".)

You can't be a victim of a crime committed against you. I think the different grades of offence make her the victim as opposed to them being equal victims.

This is totally ridiculous. The age of criminal responsibility in England is the age of 10, so unless the law differs in Scotland then this is totally retarded reporting.

You can't be a secondary party to an offence against you (so she couldn't be convicted of aiding/abetting/counselling/procuring the rape against her if she encouraged him to do it or what not), but there's no reason why just because someone's committing an offence against you you can't also be committing a different offence against them.
(Plus you said "You can't be a victim of a crime committed against you", which doesn't make any sense - if a crime's committed against you you are by definition the victim of it. I assume you meant to say "You can't be a party to a crime committed against you".)

As the article points out. (Although I suppose I can't blame anyone for not being able to read past the sex-beast line.)

that's an interesting one.
but your argument is surely more to do with the nature of inchoate offences.
So what about this scenario:
A & B plan together to stab C. They each buy knives and wait in ambush. They spring the ambush. In the tussle A accidentally stabs B instead of C. C escapes unharmed.
Then A is guilty of GBH on B, attempted GBH on C and conspiracy to commit GBH.
But surely B (the victim) is also guilty of attempted GBH on C and conspiracy to commit GBH?

Well, it's not really my argument, I'm just applying Tyrrell.

Well, yes, but he's not the victim of those crimes. (And Tyrrell specifically concerned a sexual offence, so I'm not sure whether it can just be applied across the board.)

they were just fluffing it.
let's go back to basic principles. (otherwise we'd go cross eyed with precedent)
B is certainly the victim of the GBH and yet he is guilty of attempt and conspiracy of that GBH, surely?

A would be double screwed, for attempted on C, and actual on B?

Re: 15 year old prosecuted for rape, 11 yr old enjoying pregnancy
If a girl got an abortion illegally (is there a minimum age for these things, without parental consent?) or got a tattoo while underage or whatever, woudlnt she be complicit in a crime committed against her?
edit: similarly for a person involved in assissted suicide before the 1961 Act?
