Did the judge have power 2 give a longer sentence?Is it not a fact that the people who get off most lightly re sex crime are women?

he absolutely had power to sentence an appropriate length. I'm not sure who gets off easier if anyone

I'm probably thinking of someone else then. But I am not saying sexism does not exist. Heard horrible dismissal of rape victims.

If a judge or someone in power has sexist attitudes which cause him to condone abuse of women, power must be taken from him.

the problem then lies that no one vets them and positions are sought more frequently by men. When they are caught, damage's done

Is it? We'd need to know this. Too many assumptions flying about.

That'd be great! We really need more studies into these things rather than taking end results & theorising causes.
