'No means no': Judge delivers blistering rebuke of lower court sex-assault decision

[Tennis]

Asking op what his stance is on men being raped is a joke?

Isn't a normal person's first instinct to be happy that the earlier verdict was overruled? How do you feel about the article the OP posted?

[Tennis]

This is clear cut where she said no. The guy here was a fucking moron and didn't know when to stop obviously. Why are you making this out to be a bigger deal than it is?

Did you read the article ? The first judge let it slide. Cmon man read first.

[brimdog]

i just hope all of you are held accountable for every instance of injustice toward another that you ever had and ever will have.
or maybe you wouldnt want to be?
or do you hold yourselves accountable?
hmmm

Hope he's given a punishment that still lets him get on with his life. Putting him on a sex offender list would likely ruin his life. Is that an option?

For an adult, yes. But he's a child! 15 is so young, you're so so far from being fully developed and you do a lot of stupid things. There are also people who've grown up with terrible social structure who haven't yet learned how they should behave in society. It's the educational system's job to give him that understanding, not to brand him for life as a dangerous person.

Attempted rape is a serious crime.

Are you sharing your account or why do you use the pronoun "you" to address yourself?

Boys also know they're not supposed to hit people, but they do it anyway because they are immature. And this wasn't that serious, he groped a girl far too aggressively, obviously way over the line but he wasn't violent about it. Violence would have me worried.

With regard to the label, do you honestly think that this act makes him irredeemable to the point that others need to be warned if he's living near them for literally the rest of his life?

Groping is not serious? Seriously?

Yeah, that's missing the point of the post. Feel free to make yet another post about males being raped, but this one doesn't quite fit the bill.

Having this appear for a judge is ludicrous to begin with.

Why? Groping is a crime

Then why don't we see this 24/7 before the courts?

People need to wise up about consent. It's pretty clear cut as to what it is.
If she says no it means stop.

If He says No, it means stop as well.

Both sides of the coin, not just one side.

Uh, you do. It's called "sexual assault".

No we don't see 15 year old appearing in court for groping each other, because this happens all the time, it is called "puberty", where kids explore themselves and each other. This goes as well for males as it does for females. Did this kid go to far? Absolutely, but there is no need to bring this to court.

Groping when they do it together? That's not a crime if it's mutually

Not when concerning children, there is a reason for that.

? You said they grope each other, how can that be a crime if they do it mutually?

Because the first woman to say its a crime, gets to take the other to court. Thats how it works. Men cannot say No according to society.

And when you do stupid things as a child you receive consequences for them, it's all part of learning.

[tehealadin]

He sounds like a creep. This kind of behaviour bothers me, and it worries me. 5 years time, with some booze, how far would he go?

[Mazeari]

Please, the judge made the right call. That boy is 15 that can't think properly yet and has raging hormones. I'm confident al this jury stuff has learned his lesson. I've done some stupid shit when 15.
