34-Year Old Italian Man Gets Slap on the Wrist for Sex with 13-Year Old

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A 34-year old Italian man received a slap on the wrist for his sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl, after the court decided that there was evidence of "real love" between the pair. The man's lawyers argued that the 13-year-old girl consented to her sexual relationship with the older man.

Instead of the possible maxiumum sentence of 12 years, Antonio de Pascale, a Vicenza butcher, was sentenced to one year and two months. According to the Telegraph, however, it is unlikely that Pascale will actually serve any of that time in prison.

...

Roman judge, Simonetta Matone, said ... that the law must "always look to be reasonable in these cases".

Since morality is relative we should buy the man a pint and give him a knowing wink.

It's better than a mandatory minimum sentence of 100 years in a a federal pound-me-in-the-###-and-throw-away-the-key prison.

So this is okay with you but Shria religious enforcement is "immoral"? Very interesting how your mind works!

If you have that much of a problem with reading comprehension then I have to say I'm sorry that the public school system has failed you badly.

Please explain your opposition to (or disagreement with) laws that state 13-year olds are unable to grant consent.

Something else here that really bothers me. Forget about the obvious criminal intent and manipulation this lowlife has done for a minute. What the he11 does a 13 year old know about love anyway?? Only other judicial system thats worse has gotta be here in NM.

real love? give me a break pls!!

You obviously haven't met today's 13-year-olds. A lot of them know full well what they're doing.

When I saw you'd posted on this thread, I thought, here comes Mark, to the defense of pedophiles everywhere I'm sure. But seriously, when you're 13 you're just flattered some adult likes you. You don't have the perspective to realize he's mentally ill because you're not fully formed yet. You just think you're an adult.

Coming to the defense of pedophiles??? Isn't that a bit over the top?

This coming from a 20-year-old who thinks that marrying a 30-year-old guy is creepy?
