The female victims get erased; the male perpetrators' bright futures matter more than what the girls have suffered. It's the same old injustice in a slick and unconvincing veneer
Re-imagining and restructuring the criminal justice system is a vast, vital project. In the meantime, a judge who sentences two male perpetrators to zero jail time for *ten counts of rape* is failing to hold them accountable in the only way we currently can

Lovely piece from @katemanne.bsky.social , the ending of which will prove that it's not only "now time for something completely different", though it is of course that too.
