gemfyreI was just listening to Triple J on the way home and they were discussing it.
There is no way he should be forgiven for his crime just because he's made some critically acclaimed movies and is a "brilliant man". A brilliant man would have been smarter than to rape a 13 year old.
His victim however would not like it to be dragged through the mud again, which is fair enough. Unfortunately for her the dragging is already happening. I really have no idea why they even need to take it back to court. He pleaded guilty! Just sentence him already!
In all honesty, putting him in jail is not going to prevent future crimes, which is essentially what I believe jail is for - getting dangerous people out of society so they can't commit further crimes. I have no doubt that he IS rehabilitated.
I'm really fond of the suggestion that he should be made to donate to rape crisis centres. I'm sure he's no poor boy so I'd be expecting bloody big donations, maybe big enough that he's not millionare moviemaker anymore.
That to me seems the most just and best solution for everybody.
