Would this board stop someone reporting an assault? Possibly. There are women who read and post on here, they are exposed to such culture of victim blaming and shaming whenever the topic comes up. One in five women between the ages of 16 and 59 have been a victim of assault since they turned 16. Statistically speaking, it's almost certain at least one female who posts on this board has been the victim of a sexual assault. If they're on here seeing posters like you assuming, despite a case being tried in court, with weeks of evidence, proving beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury of ordinary people that he is guilty of multiple counts of abuse, that it's a money grabbing stitch up, it could be another example of a societal attitude that makes them stay silent about the abuse they suffered.

Wind your neck in mate. Men suffer as well.

Sexual assault on men is even more taboo than on women, due to the pressures of admitting it and archaic views.
0.6% of rape cases were false allegations.

Trying to find stat regarding wrongful conviction, can only find USA on wikipedia, which puts it between 2.3 and 5%

That doesn't really make any sense as a response.
Firstly, you specifically asked if females would be put off reporting their assaults by posts on this board.
Secondly, you seem to be suggesting that because men also suffer from rape and sexual assault it makes it ok for you to dismiss a court's decision while victim blaming/denial?

"Entertainer Rolf Harris, 84, jailed for five years and nine months for 12 indecent assaults on four girls"

"Harris would have faced a maximum sentence of 14 years for the assault on the girl aged seven or eight in 1969, had the offence been committed today.
On the five counts relating to his daughter's friend, Harris would have faced a maximum term of eight years if committed today."
So what do you reckon Saville would have got if the scumbag had still been alive to face justice (unless Footsoldier is right and all of his victims were merely moneygrabbers making up stories to line their own pockets as well)?

Not sure if this is long enough. He'll be out in 3 with his digeridoo intact.

Ridiculously light sentence with remission etc he will be out in less than 2 years (23 months) He will probably allowed out on licence/parole after 1/3 of the time although the judge di suggest after 50% time served.

Hopefully the nonce will be taught some 'hard' lessons while he does his time in jail, inmates really don't like nonce's

Sums obviously not your strongpoint.Automatic remission is 50% of a sentence.
It is now. When I went to prison in 93 then it was sentences of 6 months or less and anything over 6 months then you had to serve two thirds. He got 5 years and 9 months so I recon he'll serve less than half in prison as he'll be released wearing a tag.

Most offenders allowed out after completing 1/3

I may be wrong but I thought that it was after 1/3 possibly with a tag.
As ever, somewhat more complicated than it first appears!
