Ironically under the proposals that ~~the government~~ have recently announced (eta: its an opposition amendment, alhough I can see the government accepting a version of it at some point) it would actually be illegal to possess nudes of someone who is over 18 but is pretending to be under 18. Although she most likely still wouldn’t go to prison anyway.
As someone who works adjacent to the criminal justice system, may I please implore everyone to not engage in any form of online sex with people you don’t know. You would not believe the amount of trouble people get themselves in. This sort of thing is widespread and rampant. Vast amounts of blackmail and extortion and worse are happening all the time and most of it is unreported with perpetrators free to do it over and over again.
Go meet people face to face and don’t get your bits out when a camera is present.
People have killed themselves being blackmailed in similar ways. Suspended sentences? No wonder why those who do realise there’s no actual threat tend to not bother reporting it.
In the same way sexual abuse ruins lives so do false claims and should be eligible for similar jail time
How?
That’s a fucking serious offence and yet, no consequences.
of course she did, being rightly given a custodial sentence would’ve actually been news
“suspended for 18 months at Grimsby Crown Court.”
So she got away with it then, basically.
No mention of her and her scrote boyfriend being told to repay the money either.
she shouldn’t have been. it’s awful what she put them through.
We might as well just all go ahead and commit all those crimes we’ve been fantasising about, considering there doesn’t seem to be any repercussions.
Another example of inequality that favours women.
If this was a bloke he would’ve been rightfully named, shamed and dragged to hell and back.
Not a woman though.
I for one cannot believe the justice system has been lenient based on gender. Someone put me back on my chair.
Where is the law on this?
If she pops up and says oh I’m actually 15, is going to the police going to protect you? Or are you suddenly done for child exploitation assuming she was 15.
It seems like if there’s no point in coming forward blackmail going forward with AI generation is going to get Hella big.
Advice
If you are being extorted for money, or more nudes, best bet isn’t to give in and give more, either you go police or you ignore them and most of the time NOTHING will come from it, not unless it’s someone that you know in real life, some random online isn’t a threat.
False accusations from gals, nothing new, basically normal in society now
Crazy how the BF gets a longer sentence than she does. She’s the instigator whilst he held some of the cash. Both deserve sentencing, but the gender inequality there absolutely stinks
Trying to set someone up for a crime should have the same penalty as the crime itself imo
She should be facing harsher punishment. Making CP even if it’s actually an adult and blackmail are no small crimes.Â
I thought there was no way she could get away with claiming she was 15. Then I noticed she was from Grimsby
The only reason I’m happy about mass migration into the UK is that you will have sharia law soon enough and women like this will get far worse than jail time when that happens
