[quote]THE father of a teenage sex assault victim in New South Wales who punched one of his daughter's attackers has been given a longer good behaviour bond than two of her alleged rapists.
The Daily Telegraph reports that under a controversial plea deal that reduced the charges from rape to aggravated indecent assault, two young country footballers were given 18-month bonds for their part in the horrifying attack of the then 15-year-old girl.
They walked free from court. Two other accused are awaiting sentencing.
No one in the case can be identified.
Now 17, the victim has clear memories of a night that will forever haunt her.
"I couldn't move," she said of the horrifying sexual assault by four teenage boys in 2008 after a football awards ceremony in a NSW country town.
"When I started crying, (one of the attackers) said, 'What are you crying for, you sook?', or, 'Why are you crying, you sook?'"
Remarkably, her father is on a two-year bond for common assault after punching one of the accused.
The girl and her father both said they had felt pressured to agree to the plea deal - including an agreed statement of facts very different to the girl's initial police statement.
"They pressured us. They told us . . . they have barristers, they will really barrage you, the chances are you will lose the case," her father said.
"They wore us down to accept the plea. They walked out of that court free as birds."
The 17-year-old's four attackers each pleaded guilty to aggravated indecent assault after prosecutors drew up the statement.
Part of the assault on the then 15-year-old, who was almost passed out drunk, was recorded by video on a mobile phone.
She was unknowingly stripped naked and attacked in a bathroom by two of the teenagers.
The agreed statement focused on how much alcohol the victim had consumed and referred to the attack as "sexual activity".
Yesterday the girl, who had to move from her own town because one of the attackers attended her school, said she was changed by the attack.
"I used to be so happy-go-lucky, I am just so depressed," she said.
Karen Willis from the NSW Rape Crisis Centre said the DPP should appeal against the good behaviour bonds.
Howard Brown from the Victims of Crime Assistance League said plea deals agreed to by the DPP were undermining the justice system.
"If they don't face the charges for what they have done, how do you call it a justice system?" Mr Brown said.[/quote]

god dam it facepunch and puns
Australia... has banned justice.
:australia:
They are aren't they. The rule should be simple, if it doesn't make the mod at least break a little smile when he reads it, they get banned.
Most of these sorry arse attempts at puns are just "I guess you could say (exactly what is in the article)"

There was once a time when news puns were against the rules, what ever happened to that?
We got tired of trying to enforce it because everyone was at it.

First we weren't allowed to make puns, now we aren't allowed NOT to make puns.
Yes, FP has a weird justice system.
Is anyone still surprised by this? This is the British justice system we're talking about, which is at pretty much the same level as the USA at times.

This made me sad.
This whole thread is making me sad.
It's part of the Human Rights Social Contract, It's something like you can press charges if someone hits you, but if you hit them back and break their jaw, they can sue you and get their case done quicker and easier then you will. And now that they've won their case you're most likely going to lose yours.
The homeless story is straight fucked up though. Pretty sad how broken the justice system is
But violence is never the answer guise :downs:
These kind of stories are fucked up. This is one of the few stories that I actually felt sad after reading. I hope the people who raped that girl get it 10 times worse in the prison shower. For there punishment those bastards should be tied to a chair and left alone in a room with the girls father for a few hours, if they somehow survive that they should be executed in the same way this man tried to kill him self [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=914289[/url].

Not trying to say anything but it's kind of been a running trend that black people get harsher punishments. It's still like that, which kind of scares me.
Yessh kinda fucked up there isn't it. Really is there something that they can do to appeal on the basis of being forced to make an agreement that is not true to the facts. Really that is really fucking sad.
