Two Argentine judges are under fire for reducing the sentence of a convicted child abuser on the grounds that his six-year-old victim was gay. The judges cut the sentence of Mario Tolosa, a wealthy sports club vice president, from six years to 38 months.
According to the judges, the 6 year old boy, 'was making a precocious choice' of his sexuality, apparently a reference to homosexuality. The DISTURBED JUDGES argued that this meant the pedophiles actions should not be considered 'gravely outrageous' in legal terms.
The judges added that the victim was used to being molested because he had suffered earlier abuse by his father and therefore had already been traumatized.
One of the two judges, Horacio Piombo, defended the ruling Monday in interviews with Radio La Red and the television station Todo Noticias, saying that before Tolosa molested him, the child already had suffered 'the initiation by his father into the worst of worlds, leading him to depravation.'
He said that 'as a result of that experience with the father, the child had showed signs of a transvestite conduct, of conduct we had to take into account'.
