Rape victim, 10, 'probably agreed' to sex

A judge in Australia has provoked nationwide outrage after failing to jail nine males who admitted gang raping a ten-year-old-girl.

Kevin Rudd, the new Labor prime minister, said he was "appalled and disgusted", after Sarah Bradley said the victim, who is from an Aboriginal community, "probably agreed" to have sex.

The Cairns-based district court judge gave suspended sentences and probation orders to three adults, aged 17 to 26, one of whom was a repeat sex offender, and six juveniles, aged 14 to 16.

The sentencing has been greeted with disbelief across the country which has been grappling with reports of widespread child sex abuse in indigenous communities.

Some of the girl's attackers are said to be from prominent families in the area, while she comes from a less privileged background.

Queensland's attorney general, Kerry Shine,will appeal against the judge's decision.

The state premier, Anna Bligh, said all sexual offences sentences arising out of Cape York during the past two years would be reviewed.

What century are we in?

Pisses me off when any child is abused but this is just disgusting. I am not going to bad mouth Austrailia but someone has to call a spade a spade!

This judge was WAY out of line here and the case should be remanded for a retrial (if that is possible). If not, the sentence should be tossed and reajudicated.

Even worse, the girl had already been gang raped at the age of 7 in the same community, was taken into foster care and then returned to her home community, where this happened.
