Reading the article, I don't think that's what the judge was suggesting. I think it's a little more complicated than that, and although I'm not certain I fully agree, I think I understand where they are approaching this from.

I think it was more of a "buck your ideas up, sort yourself out, and you can still have a normal life" type speech, especially since he pointed out how the defendant is still young.

It reads to me like "you're a fuck up, you know you're a fuck up, stop drinking, sort your shit out, but in the meantime you're on the sex offenders register. This is your opportunity. Go."

It's totally nuts, this yoyo is clearly a very dangerous man, but the Judge shows an utter disconnect from reality and has zero thoughts for the victims. I though it was gonna be Nolan from the Republic when I saw the non-sentence given down to this tonto.

Yeah there looks to be zero chance of this man acting appropriately around women. The next time he's in court I imagine it will be for a worser charge unfortunately. Then there will be a review of what could have been done to prevent it and nothing will be raised.

Ummm… this guy is no longer young. He’s in his mid-thirties, with literally dozens of offenses on his record. And sexual assault indicates he’s only getting worse. A “wife and family”, at this point, would be nothing more than punching bags for him, and his pathos would be carried on in his children.

While I get what you are saying, the judge is misguided.

And judge tells him to find a woman and start a family. Fuck sakes.

Edit to add:

Also,

>The court was told eight women, including his mother and grandmother, had taken non-molestation orders against Feeney. He also has convictions for assaults and breaches of court orders, with the majority of his offending occurring while intoxicated. Judge Sherrard said this marked him “as a belligerent, drunken thug, a bully and a nuisance”.

That last sentence is how the judge himself described him, and STILL tells him to go start a family. WTF.

They usually cite ‘western Europe’ but yeah, I’d believe it’s that bad. 3 times as many women are killed per capita from domestic violence than the UK average, and domestic abuse crimes make up more than 18% of all crime total, and it’s increasing year on year.

Read the article and you will also see the judge said:

In other words, in totality, the judge is saying

> You are a drunken piece of crap but if you work with the services available to you, stop drinking, and sort your life out, there is still an opportunity for you to have a good life, to find a partner, and perhaps even to have a family.

From a physical standpoint, indeed mid-30s is not old.

But from a developmental standpoint, particularly for a relentlessly dimwitted criminal like this whose crimes against victims are clearly escalating over time, it’s VERY old. Who he is today was formed a looong time ago.

I don't know who needs to hear this (clearly this judge does) but women do not exist to rehabiliate broken, troubled, dangerous, and abusive men.

Getting married to us will not turn a violent offender into a 'good man'.

Rehabilitation does happen… but I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t happen if someone’s offenses are becoming worse. When you’ve recently graduated from mere property crime to sexual assault, you are NOT showing a proclivity to ceasing a life of crime anytime soon.

Lives on beragh ireland. Or the case was in breragh. Tyrone is northern ireland. Domestic violence is a huge issue in ireland, it has one of the highest rates. The judge telling him he can clean up his act and be a better person dispite the dude having like i think it was 46 other counts of violence is dumb af. Especially in a place where domestic violence is very high. This guy is never going to clean up nor go on the straight and narrow.

But it's his first sexual offense so we definitely need to allow him to commit as many more as possible. And given that the judge refused to ban him from looking for women online because it wasn't how they met but his subsequent behaviour that was the problem I would say yes, that's exactly what the judge is suggesting.

*rolls eyes* yes judge we know it was the subsequent assault that was the problem but that bit's already illegal so we were hoping to ban him from using dating apps so when he inevitably breaches that condition we could arrest him *before* he assaults anyone else.

Well to be fair, until 2015, male victims of sexual violence weren’t even recognized as proper victims. It’s also been observed that female perpetrators tend to be sentenced less severely (if at all) than male perpetrators in almost all forms of crime, including sexual violence. Men haven’t exactly been looking out for other men

To me, a person like that has to prove he is OK with himself before ever considering putting him in a position of influence or authority. If he can somehow manage to turn it around, to learn what he needs to learn, then perhaps somewhere down the road he could become a useful family man.

Given his record I highly doubt it.

Dont think Sexual offenses is something you can come back from, they cant be reinserted into society, not because the offender doesnt want to get rehabilitated but because sexual offenses carry the worst stigma in society, most if no all people wouldnt want to see or be near a sex offender, he probably will need to live a life of isolation, i dont what was the judge thinking, he knows no woman would want to have something to do with the person in question.

Bit of a clickbait title - the Judge actually says (paraphrasing) "You're young, it's not too late to turn your life around, eventually settle down with a wife and a family." He wasn't suggesting he get married to cure his horrendous behaviour.

But what really galls me, is that after all of this - and 67 previous offences - he's been essentially let off partly because the prison chaplain said "Ah, he's a good lad really." Priests pissed on their own morality chips a long time ago, IMO, and we need to stop looking to those fuckers for moral guidance.
