Eddie Shah is a disgusting and vile excuse for a man for suggesting that under age girls are to blame for abuse if they consent. He was recently cleared of raping an underage girl between 12 and 15 in the 1990s, and is quoted in various newspapers today (11th August 2013) as saying in a BBC Radio 5 interview:
"Rape was a technical thing - below a certain age. But these girls were going out with pop groups and becoming groupies and throwing themselves at them. Young girls and young men have always wanted a bit of excitement. They want to appear adult and do adult things...If we're talking about girls who just go out and have a good time, then they are to blame. If we talk about people who go out and actually get 'raped' raped, then I feel no - and everything should be done against that."
WHAT THE HELL!!! An underage girl MAY APPEAR TO CONSENT TO SEX but that doesn't mean that an adult should take advantage of this.
For all they know, the child may have such a low self esteem that makes him or her feel totally worthless, and equates sex to love. Or could be under the influence of drink or drugs. Or have mental health issues. Or feel pressurised. Or feel in awe of an older person's celebrity status, and this celebrity happens to be a pervert. Or have been groomed by the pedo.
Even if the girl flings herself stark bollocks naked at the older person and begs for sex, if she is UNDERAGE, it is up to the adult to do the right thing and say NO. Sex with a child below the age of consent is STATUTORY RAPE.
Eddie Shah may have been cleared by the law of the accusations against him. According to the law, the offence of which he was accused of did not take place. However, his comments are absolutely revolting.
These come in the same week that the judge a similar trial, Nigel Peters QC, called the 13 victim in this other case a 'sexual predator', and described her as looking and acting older than her age. The child was playing truant from school, and approached Neil Wilson and asked him for cigarettes. He gave her a whole packet and then took her back to his flat for coffee. She was dressed in her school uniform, so it was obvious that she was still a child, even though she initiated sex. Wilson abused the child for 2 weeks, and he also kept calling her and sending her text messages.
The lawyer for the prosecution, Robert Colover, said during the trial that the sexual activity was 'not of Mr Wilson's doing', and 'you could say that it was forced upon him, despite being older and stronger than her'.
Despite being found guilty, the pervert, Neil Wilson, was only given an 8 month suspended sentence, even though sick images of child abuse AND bestiality were found at his home during a police search.
Mr Colover has now been barred from prosecuting any sex cases by the Crown Prosecution Service, and the Judge, Nigel Peters QC is also being investigated by the Office for Judicial Complaints.
The attitude of the judge and prosecutor in Neil Wilson's case makes me think that, if this is the sort of opinion that our judiciary share, it calls into question other cases in which the accused been acquitted.
