British Student Jailed For Slapping Sleeping Woman With Penis.

Question- was anyone else dumb enough to think this guy hit a hemaphrodite? I thought the title meant the victim was a "woman with a penis" XD

You wouldn't. I probably wouldn't either but if she wanted to that's her prerogative.

Most men don't do this either.

This has ruined his future career as it is.

The police pressed charges she didnt. She didnt know about it until they identified her after the arrest

"A student has been jailed for slapping a sleeping woman in the face with his penis while his friend filmed the indecent act on his phone."

"John Luke Dale, a 21-year-old criminology undergraduate who dreamt of being a solicitor, was sentenced to nine months imprisonment after admitting sexual assault."

I'm not at all condoning his actions, but does this reaction seem a little harsh to you? Street thugs and arsonists get less time. Some aren't even jailed. It was unpleasant, for sure, but being locked away for nine months and having your life ruined over a crude prank? It seems like overkill. The video wasn't even published (which may have been cause for harsher legal action, although it would also be a separate crime).

"So what are you guys in for?"
"I stabbed an old lady."
"I held up a convenience store and stole a car"
"I got drunk one night and slapped somebody with my penis...."

This stuff happens in fraternities and sleepovers on a daily basis. But I guess she can sleep well at night knowing this dangerous psychopath is behind bars, and that his life will never be the same again.

Even less reason to make the victim out to be unreasonable.

Because the necessity would be a clear reason, and one other than sex. Here the reason is clearly a idiotic prank. So the same applies to both. Just because one reason is stupid doesn't make it sexual.

I completely agree :-) I said in an earlier post that the main problem is the media have only reported the sensationalist parts of the issue which means the whole point of what actually happened is missed.

.

And to the guys who keep parroting 'if a woman did this...' - I think the whole ****ing point is that women don't engage in these kind of activities because they generally don't see it as something acceptable to do 'for a laugh' .

Well that's bs. I've seen plenty of "unacceptable" behaviour from women as well as men. Dickslapping, titslapping, motorboating, pantsing... are women still supposed to be puritans or something?

No. HE has ruined his future care all by HIMSELF. No one else to blame.

I'm aware there are post-grad courses afterwards as well as the possibility to do a conversion course to law, but after hearing about his conviction, you just know he is some dumb "LAD" who is in love with the idea of the status and telling people he is a solicitor, rather than actually wanting to work.

Very unlikely to get SRA student membership now.

I did say it's not generally acceptable. It's fair to say most women would see those kind of girls as disgusting as laddish and we certainly wouldn't be piping up and defending the behaviour as totally normal. That says something as to its acceptability. It also doesn't mean I think women are 'pure' and 'innocent' so stop reading into things that aren't there'.

And if you're seriously going to pretend that it's as common as typical lad behaviour like tea-bagging your friend in their sleep and do something like this to a sleeping stranger and filming it then I really don't know who you're trying to fool. What I'm referring to is the attitude that says it's ok - I'm well aware that a lot of TSR types wouldn't actually ever do it themselves
