From what I've understood, the girl pretended to be 16 and there was no rape. Sleeping with underage is automatically considered as rape in some countries even if there is consent.
I guess that is why he only spent a year in jail.
And no from what I read on the Athletic, she initially told him she was 16 but then told him he was 12 and he still went through with it.
Having said that he served his time in jail. If you think the sentence should be much steeper lets have that discussion, but I'm generally against the concept of double jeopardy.
I might add that PR said she has EMPATHY for the rapist, which is worse. If a relative of the victims family put a bullet in the creeps head I think that most people would have empathy for him. I dont see how any normal human would have empathy for the rapist.
PR said "if it were to be repeated now or it had been last year I would be saying a different thing."
Note to Paula. For a victim of a sex crime EVERY YEAR is last year.
She is having empathy or whatever you want to call it for someone who on the surface appears to be turning their life around. Look at her initially statement.
“So to ban someone - as I understand it, he was 19 at the time and he’s served his jail time - it’s a long time to carry on paying for that mistake for the rest of your life. He may well have turned it around and completely repented. You certainly hope so, I know that he is married now and has settled down. “It’s a tough thing to do to punish him twice and IF he’s managed to successfully turn his life around after being sent to prison and to qualify and to be playing sport at the highest level, then I actually wish him the best of luck. He’ll be watched during the village, if it were to be repeated now or it had been last year I would be saying a different thing. But the ban and the learning difference from 19 to 29 is huge.”
I put the IF in caps, but do you want her to say I hope he suffers the rest of his life? I wish everyone the best of look if they are trying to do better in this world. The fact is he is out of jail and free to live in society. Either have tougher sentences or let him compete.
Getting back to the point of the post, Paula Radcliffe does seem to be a bit off kilter at times in terms of her judgement. I'm thinking of her choice in husband here. She gives me the impression of lacking in confidence and having poor boundaries, certainly her husband has been filmed shouting at her in public and she seems woefully timid in standing up to men. Not the best judge of character.
But given that she is so exceptionally meek and incapable of expressing an opinion when commenting on BBC on far less contentious matters, and in fact her commentary is self consciously restrictive, it's all the more strange that she has expressed such a detailed opinion regarding a child rapist. I'm beginning to wonder how conditioned she is to make excuses for bad behaviour in men.
Her opinion on this child rapist are the most lengthy and detailed thoughts she has ever bothered to put into print. And no Paula, he hasn't fully served his time. He is on the Sex Offenders Register in the UK and would almost certainly be banned from competing in the UK because a visa would be refused.

Child rape is an abhorrent crime that inflicts unimaginable trauma on its victims, leaving deep and lasting scars on their lives. It is an unforgivable violation of innocence and trust, fundamentally betraying the duty of care that adults owe to children. The severity of such abuse not only devastates the immediate physical and emotional well-being of the child but also has far-reaching consequences that can impact their mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life for years to come. Society must unequivocally condemn this heinous act, ensure that justice is served, and provide comprehensive support and rehabilitation for survivors to aid in their recovery and help them reclaim their lives.

excellent post.
Agreed. Fantastic post, and we have to remember oftentimes women can be the biggest enablers of male child predators.
These are despicable embarrassing comments from Paula.
