"Lesbian porn star" trying to clear name

Submitted by GaryB on Sun, 2008-10-12 23:19

This story from Australia explains how a woman "had sex with" two underage girls (14), and filmed them to make a porn DVD.

First shock (not) is that she got a two year good behaviour bond, no jail time. Of course - she's a woman, after all, she shouldn't actually be PUNISHED.

Second shock (not) is that she feels she should have her conviction quashed - to allow her to work with children! Excerpt:

"A NEW South Wales woman, who made lesbian pornography with teenagers, will ask the High Court to clear her name so she can work with disadvantaged children. Rebecca Jane Clarke will seek to have her conviction erased, based on a controversial ruling that sex offenders can be acquitted if they "honestly believe" their victims are more than the age of consent.

...
Clarke, 23, who stars in a pornographic DVD she made with two girls, both 14, will argue her name should not appear on the national sex-offender register. If the High Court does not quash her conviction, she will be banned from working as a counsellor."

They never see what they do as wrong, do they?

So, she raped two teens and she thinks that clearing her name should be done so she can "work with disadvantaged children", because she didn't know there ages. idk, I'm about to give up on ever thinking justice systems will ever be even close to gender blind.

Anyone who says "I feel like a pedofile" or "Look at these little girl tits", while engaging in sexual acts with 14 year old girls, doesn't 'honestly believe' that their partners were of age. Obviously.

...especially to gender. The female offender discount has existed as long as civilization has. But a little bit more effort to make it appear as if justice was in fact blind would at least be a step in the right direction
