No issue of consent, so no rape

In what is one of this weeks top 'fucking piss me off, stupid ass orders by a judge' Justice Trevor Riley declared that the term 'rape' could not be used in a case where two adult men and three teenage boys sexually assaulted an 11 year old boy.

His completely asinine excuse for his decision was:

Justice Trevor Riley told the court the case is not about rape because there is no issue of consent.

He said while the crime of sexual intercourse with a child was very serious it was not rape.

Dutch Courts Decide

I mentioned before that the Dutch were having problems with a pedophile website displaying images of the children of the Dutch Royal family, and so to update that case, I thought I'd share the latest news from the courts over there:

A Dutch court on Thursday barred a pedophile support group from publishing photos of children of the royal family on its Web site, a week after it displayed pictures of the 3-year-old daughter of the heir to the throne.

The Amsterdam District Court said the photos on the site of the group Martijn violated the privacy of the royal family and was "a breach of the portrait rights of the children."

The court said it took into account "the character of the Martijn Web site" in granting the injunction sought by the House of Orange.

The site's owners can be fined $7,200 each time they breach the order, up to a maximum of $720,000.

Love the fines, but they ought to add jail time to it. And, honestly- it ought to go for all children, not just Royal ones. No pedophile should be able to swipe a photo of someones child and then use it to promote the sexual abuse of children without prior consent.

Perverti Primate- because the French have em too.

So much for the idea that the French are more refined that the rest of us, regardless of their culinary perfections. It seems that just as we have our perverted masses, they have their perverti masses.

French police arrested 20 suspects as part of a Europe-wide crackdown on child pornography over the Internet, authorities said Wednesday.

Three of those arrested also were suspected of having abused children during overseas trips, French police officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Police said the operation involved several European nations, including Germany, Italy, Belgium and Britain, though they did not say how many people have been arrested outside of France.

Police found 3,000 suspicious e-mail addresses during their investigations and used them to track suspects.

About 1.5 million illegal images were seized from the computer of a French information technology specialist, police said.

1.5 million. And to think some people still don't see that we have a problem with child porn.

Dutch Touched by Pedo

They did it to Obama, so don't be surprised that they opted to do it to the Dutch Royal family now.

A pro-pedophilia group has posted photos of 3-year-old Princess Amalia, daughter of the heir to the Dutch throne, on its Web site, a government spokesman said Friday.

The site of Martijn, a group that says it lobbies for acceptance of consensual physical relationships between adults and children, also showed pictures of Crown Prince Willem-Alexander's 5-year-old nephew Lucas.
