    “I’m not entirely satisfied with the sentence … but ultimately as a prosecutor I have to weigh things like the impact of actually having to testify on the victim of this crime,” said Ontario County Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford. “And she’s a child, and she was going to have to face her accuser in the courtroom. And when I was given the opportunity to consider whether or not we’d take a guilty plea – absolutely, all day, in a circumstance like this.”

    **** edit this is Canada shit, happened in Canada, apologies, I think it’s relevant to the us *****

    It’s really rough. The u.s. judicial system is not prepared to deal with this.

      Ontario is in Canada.

      In fairness, when I saw Rochester I immediately assumed the non-city in the UK.

      Edit: Wait what, it talks about Bristol, also in the UK, but apparently Ontario is also a county in the state of NY (which is again named after a UK city). So you were right, this is 'merica.

        Yeah I thought the UK too, but realised you’d need pretty bad lead poisoning to spell “Shaun” or “Sean” as “Shawn” so that makes more sense 😂

      Canada has a very serious violence against women problem. And as it turns out a horrific sentencing problem
