She told him: “Her friends described her, accurately in my view, as stalking you.

“If grooming is the right word to use, it was she who groomed you, (and) you gave in to temptation.”

The judge said Kerner was “emotionally fragile” due to complications with his wife’s pregnancy.

This did not excuse his behaviour, she said, but it did help explain why someone with an “exemplary” character would commit such offences.

Judge Greenberg said she believed the victim was “intelligent and manipulative” and “showed no compunction” about lying when it suited her.

A female judge who understands a man's point of view, did hell just freeze over?

If she was 16, what is the offence?

If she was 16, what is the offence?

Abusing his position of power as a teacher, apparently. Even though the judge acknowledged she was chasing him and he gave in to temptation.

If she was 16, what is the offence?

Cheating on his pregnant missus?

Oh, wait, noone bothers about that. At least, while they're still together. The witch hunt is elsewhere.

[porca misèria]

Apparently some fundamentalist nutters are up in arms about this character not being duly locked up. A je suis charlie moment.

[Errol]

16 is legal. The issue was his position as a teacher.

Don't worry - the trial by public pitch fork brigade have already intervened.

There have been complaints to the attorney general....

So I can just email the attorney general about anything I think is 'unduly lenient' and they will look into it ?

Does this work for 'unduly harsh' as well.

We had a lovely young male teacher at school. One girl wolf-whistled the first day he walked in to the room.
We were terrible with him.
He isn't bad looking though and was only a year or so after qualifying so only a handful of years older than us.
(I have the photo of him with our class so I know what he looks like, it's not just fond memories)

He was lovely. How he put up with a classroom full of hormones I have no idea.

Perhaps he had his wicked way with some of your classmates? Or perhaps they seduced him? No doubt it will all come eout one day.

He was also acquitted of two counts of sexual activity with a child, which relate to when she was 15.

Assume because of the above.

cheating isnt a crime.

And it appears his religion is not that strong either as he is:

A religious studies teacher

On our school FB group we have discussed a visit from some athlete who was a bit hands on with girls when having his photo taken. Can't think who he was but it was during the 80s.

[The Eagle]

Can't think who he was but it was during the 80s.

That means you are in your 40s, I thought you were older than that.

Oi! Cheeky!

Yes I am mid 40s.

I am going to celebrate my 40th again this year.

I have a t-shirt and everything.

Obviously should be banned from teaching. Dont see the criminal aspect though.

Ironically, given the strength of teacher unions, its probably easier to send him to prison than it is to fire him.

Please Sir ..

No need to go back that far

[happy_renting]

Please Sir ...

Ah, 'Penny'. Sharon. She was filthy. In my adolescent dreams, anyway.

Edit: Penny was her real name.

[porca misèria]

Please Sir ...

Her sideburns are better than his.

[Patfig]

You should see her beard

Present non-custodial sentence stands. Appeals won't be altering it.

Yes, the AG has to look into any complaints about unduly lenient sentences, he can however only refer the sentence for some offences to the court of appeal.

Re: unduly harsh, the convict has the right of appeal so there's no need for the AG to get involved.
