I've just been reading about the woman who blindfolded her friend and used a sex toy to dupe her into thinking she was having sex with a man. Misguided definitely, assault yes. Very odd behaviour, definitely.
Worthy of eight years in prison ? Not in my opinion. If a total waste of space can get four years for raping a poor 6 yr old girl, and someone who kills his girlfriend by reckless driving and doesn't call for an ambulance gets 4 1/2 yrs. How can this woman warrant 8 yrs.
Opinions ?

Surely we are talking about rape here - and as a sentence for rape and a long thought out plan to rape, plus the psychological damage to a clearly naive and vulnerable girl, 8 years seems quite reasonable.

What would the sentence have been if this offence had been committed by a man. I bet a man accused of carefully plotting the rape and, say, using disguise and blindfolds to avoid being identified and with such a vulnerable victim would have got considerably more than 8 years.
