    By finding him guilty but not punishing him, he will be made to feel guilty and the chance of him reoffending will be prevented, without socially impairing the man

    What a load of horse shit. “Letting him get away with rape penalty free will ensure he doesn’t do it again” is some crazy fucking logic. Seems like knowing there are no consequences for your actions would make repeating the offense significantly more likely.

      It’s funny that the court would explicitly legitimize the idea that some people deserve to be “socially impaired” and others do not despite committing exactly the same crime.

      Funny in the sense that it contradicts the entire foundation that the legal system is based on and makes the court look illegitimate and deliberately corrupt.

      I’m sure this concept of non-punishment will now be applied to many other cases across social classes, right?

      Right…?
