Fair sentence?

It's stomach turning, a 14yr old is a child. I don't give a fcuk whether he consented or not. I'm very curious to know who this Dunleavy fella is. His name isn't listed on the Fair City cast list. Seemingly he was in tv ads too.

He might have just been an extra in the background...."Pub Customer 1"...."Pervert 3"....that kind of thing

The two men there should only ever leave jail in a body bag. Whatever about the boys intentions, they were the adults in that situation, and knew that they were engaging in sex with a minor. End of.

my mate ***** lost his virginity to a friend of his ma's (true story)
he was 14 (about 20 years ago ) and when he told me i decided he was a legend

do people think that she should have gone to jail?

if ***** was gay whats the difference

14 year old boys are horny i really think that there is a difference between 14 year old boys and 14 year old girls

also the age of homosexual consent for boys is 15 not 17


The heterosexual age of consent was set in the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1935. Homosexuality was decriminalised in 1993, following the ruling of the European Court in Norris vs. Ireland with the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 1993. This same act places an age of 15 on acts of "gross indecency" between male homosexuals, but with no definition of what these are.

It's pedophilia i suppose

Well not really. Paedophiles are attracted to pre-pubescent children. Underage teens, while children in the eyes of the law, have still undergone the physical changes that make them adults biologically. The analogy I always use is: a 15-year-old girl compared to an eight-year-old girl. Both may be children, but does a man who wants to have sex with the 15-year-old have similar sexual desires to a man who wants to have sex with the eight-year-old?
Plenty of men would fancy highly developed 15-year-old girls who look like young women (and biologically are - e.g. they can have babies).
I mean, guys here often talk about how hot certain teenage girls are - are they paedos? Not unless they fancy kiddies.

Why is it that everyone would be up in arms if it was 40YO men with a 15YO girl?
but when it's a guy..not so much?

Well you could also get "giggidy " from guys who don't have daughters (but of course they'd be outraged if it happened to their sister ).

So while they deserve to go to prison for breaking the law while knowing his age (although how can that be proven?) they're not paedophiles, they just fancy very young men - he possibly does look older than his age also.

On the other hand:

Do you still think so?

Yes. The law's the law. Just because YOU thought he was "da man" doesn't mean other guys (or women) would - a law can't be based on your personal views. A lot of guys object to a grown woman having sex with a young teenage boy, even if it was consensual. And they also object to the "dude, that's hot" attitude which helps legitimise it.

In general, yes, there would appear to be a difference between 14-year-old boys and 14-year-old girls (although whether that's nature or social and cultural conditioning, it's difficult to tell) but not all 14-year-old boys are into a much older woman having sex with them (hate the way it's always assumed all 14-year-old boys would love it) and even those who enjoy it at the time might be ****ed up about it in later years.
You can't legislate based on some 14-year-old boys enjoying it.

Presumably theres precedents whereby he felt he couldn't go any lower than two years...Unfortunately there appears to be a lot that goes on in the legal system that is never explained to the public.

why

in many countries it would be legal

bit of a straw man that
