Italy court overturns paedophile conviction as 11-year-old 'in love'
Breitbart / Agence France-Presse ^ | December 30, 2013

Posted on 12/31/2013 2:17:23 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Italy's highest court has overturned the conviction of a 60-year-old man for having sex with an 11-year-old girl, because the verdict failed to take into account their "amorous relationship".

Pietro Lamberti, a social services worker in Catanzaro in southern Italy, was convicted in February 2011 and sentenced to five years in prison for sexual acts with a minor.

The verdict was later upheld by an appeals court.

But Italy's supreme court ruled that the verdict did not sufficiently consider "the 'consensus', the existence of an amorous relationship, the absence of physical force, the girl's feelings of love"(continued)

The condoning of the early sexualization of children...not to mention pedophiles.

That's ridiculous.

An 11 year old is not mature enough to give informed consent.

And a 60 year old has no business seducing an 11 year old. Besides that, it was probably against the Italian laws, but the court is overturning the law.

Oh, brother - here we go with the ‘No Age of Consent’ pervs. Or should I say the ‘Anti-Childhood’ brigade.

Yes, this is already in the pipeline. With our sons too and the men who sodomize them.

Yo, Pope Francis, instead of bitching about "Unfettered Capitalism" or economics, about neither of which you obviously know nothing, how about turning your fine Jesuit mind to this sort of thing?

So, we ain't the only country in which Left Wing Ani (LWA) reach the bench of the high court.

Brings to mind this creep who Obama had hired to be, of all things, his "Safe School Czar"!

From 2009...

From the Washington Times...

EDITORIAL: At the president's pleasure
'Safe school czar' encouraged child sex with an older man
September 28, 2009

A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar".

According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night. ..."

On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated." ..."

Buzzy just moved the Italian Supreme Court to the top of her list.

"Judges in the United States, after all, are free to consult all manner of commentary — Restatements, Treatises, what law professors or even law students write copiously in law reviews, and, in the internet age, any number of legal blogs. If we can consult those sources, why not the analysis of a question similar to the one we confront contained, for example, in an opinion of the Supreme Court of Canada, the Constitutional Court of South Africa, the German Constitutional Court, or the European Court of Human Rights?"

Justice Ruth Bader "Buzzy" Ginsberg

It’s comforting to know that the “elites” in Italy are just as Godless and deranged as ours are.

See, MY question is how did they even HAVE a trial?

How would they assemble the defendant from cut-up human pieces in a bunch of pig stomachs?

How many ways can you say, “Dirty old man”?

People can and do grow old, but some (way too many!) never get beyond an early stage of adolescence.

There was a term in use a few years ago, to describe just such endless adolescence - “Snot-nosed emotionally retarded twit”, shortened to SNERT.

Just a sexagenarian SNERT.
