apologize for it being daily mail up front.

No worries

I can't imagine a 46 year old man being convicted of forcing himself on a 14 year old girl against her will and potentially getting less than a year

Right, but is that the specific criteria that we utilize define demographically motivated discrimination.

This is an anecdotal account, and I don't really see how it helps your initial claim. Roy Moore raped little girls and almost became a sitting senator. Brock Turner admitted to raping a girl and was given a slap on the wrist.

If there is systemic discrimination in court on things like sexual assault, I would feel comfortable guessing that women are the victims of said discrimination the vast majority of the time.

Also this happened in the UK where perpetrators have a lot more rights, so we don't really know if she is being treated differently than other males in that particular justice system.

Nothing about this story is easily explained by biological differences

Men are much more likely to commit sexual assaults, therefore the courts are much more likely to have a precedent when sentencing men. When anything you are familiar with is presented differently, you are more likely to treat it differently, even if they are virtually the same
