Dear Steele,

I've gone through the word-on-word scenario on
page 33 of this discussion for Joe (Loudmouth),
and with HenryL., in another discussion.

I can't make out what's hard about not understanding
how the legislation has changed for sexual abuse cases.
And, what the law currently is.

cont'd ...

I gave the full information on page 9 of the article
thread - "The Vendetta against Cardinal Pell."
HenryL commented in that discussion as well.
Doesn't make sense. He knows about the changes in law.

Altrav,

Wake up.

Dear Foxy,

Indeed. This was also interesting from him; "he also had a record of child sex convictions, plus he raped the victim many times over a long period".

Prior convictions are admissible in sentencing but not in the trial itself. Further is really wouldn't have mattered if the girl had been raped once or over a long period if it comes down to his word against hers.

There does seem to be something else driving our HenryL.

Issy, old sock, it's taken me a while to understand some of you, and I am pleased with the fact that I am now reasonably familiar with the different types of homo-sapiens out there.
I woke up to this fact many years ago, but it is only since I have been on various forums that I find such diverse yet controversial mind sets.
No Issy I have been awake for many years, only woke up to the foibles and even worse, of humans in general, a few years ago, now.
I come across as 'all things bad', but actually having been a precocious child, I have always tested the boundaries just to see what it produced.
All my life I have been an inquisitor, some who know me compare my emotional demeanor to that of Sheldon. (Big Bang)
Can't see it myself, but anyway, moving on.
So I see you took umbrage to my little observation.
I was attempting to show parallels with the submissions the other commentors have been forwarding on this topic.
Much has been said about where do these kinds of actions come from?
How do they begin or manifest themselves into these people who prey on children?
My comments were meant as just one example of 'what might be'.
Upon reading your story, I felt that you saw the lighter side of the incident, but completely missed the overarching or possibly, underlying message in all the events that happened on that fateful day at the checkout.
If you stand back and read the same posting, objectively and not subjectively with an emotional stance, you will see it is not unreasonable.
