Re: Badly Profiled Boy
"Would you believe, the total incompetence of a system that cannot distinguish between intentional and unintentional acts?"
The future Sexual Offences Act 2003 was supposed to be a tidying aggregation of many previous laws. When it was put out for public consultation it was obvious that the word "intent" had been dropped from some of those previous laws' wording. The reason given was that the police and some single-issue lobbies felt that having to prove intent made it "too difficult" to secure convictions of enough accused people.
