You are missing the point.  The boy was 17 when he committed the offence and jail wasn't an option at the time.

As for the other one, I would lock him up for life. He was a drug running hit man.

And yet the 2 boys who killed  the Bulger  child were put away in institutions for years, so why not for rape of a minor.

The Law in England is somewhat different to that of Scotland.

Jail absolutely should have been an option. What does this case say to all the 17 year old males in Scotland if not that rape is not that serious a crime?  What does it say to the victim of this crime and her family?  That her ordeal was no big deal?  It’s a disgrace.

The Bulger crime was, by many degrees, far more serious (particularly as it was a sadistic murder of a child) and that’s not to belittle the suffering of rape victims but is obviously reflected in the terms usually handed out for premeditated murder versus rape.

Any 17 year old in Scotland committing Rape now could well find that things have changed.

Really?  Has the law changed there recently?  If so it makes little sense that someone who was 17 only four years ago should be spared prison if he would be imprisoned now were he that age.

Actually the law in Scotland has recently changed IN FAVOUR of those aged 21 or under who commit crimes, suggesting that because they have “immature brains” they should not be imprisoned.  So anyone committing rape in Scotland now under the age of 21 will almost certainly not go to prison.

I should blame whatshername if I was you.

I blame the UN who came up with this idea in the first place.  My son is 20 and knows full well what is right and what is wrong, what is acceptable and what is not, what is legal and what isn’t.  If he raped a 13 year old, I’d expect him to go down for a lengthy sentence and I wouldn’t visit him either.

Yes , because is young 'innocent' David self identified at a 'woman' he could go to a female prison and it would be open day!!

Womens rights are being diminished in open view, by the political hard left, fringe sector of gay community, stone wall in particular with their 'trans' nasty and vicious activism.

It doesn't matter what age the crime is committed it matters what age the person is when it goes to trial. anyone over the age of 16 know what rape is, if not why not?  if they know all about same sex partnerships/ transitioning and gender ID in sex education  classes  at school why not about what is Rape!

And yet, Sturgeon, and now current colleagues, propose giving 16 year olds the right to stand as MPs in the Scottish Parliament.

That's right : high school pupils legislating for the rest of us, including classifying 17-21s as non-adults.

Bit off topic, sorry.

The point is, the legislation on 21s does not make sense.
