1. A woman getting a lighter sentence than what a man would get for the same crime? Surely not.

2. I was confused as to why the Mail would report this – they aren’t usually one to take up the mantle on behalf of victims of sexual assault…

   But the perpetrator is female so it checks out.

   The daily Mail – won’t stand for sexual assault (if the perpetrator is a migrant or female).

3. This was multiple separate incidents of sexual assault on the victim. How on earth is this not worthy of a custodial sentence?

4. Here’s an earlier article that describes the court case and isn’t paywalled or forcing you to agree to cookies and ads:

   [Victim describes alleged assault by Olivia Nelson to court | Salisbury Journal](https://www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/24627981.victim-describes-alleged-assault-olivia-nelson-court/)

   She stubbed out a cigarette on the victims face, she should be in jail.

5. Is there a way to filter out any post that includes The Daily Mail as a source?

6. 1. That woman needs to be in jail.

   2. If this were a man – he’s getting years. No question. But it’s a woman so I guess she’s not a threat to society.

7. Quite the reach on “she was just a teenager at the time”, when in fact she was 19.

   I don’t think I’d ever have the stomach on being a lawyer. Can’t imagine saying things like “C’mon judge, we know she sexual assaulted someone but she can’t continue her military career anymore! That’s punishment enough!”

9. Isn’t this a female on female assault? Why are so many people making it a woman vs man issue?

10. Disgusting crime aside, what the hell is an “airtrooper”?

11. Lol at all these comments acting like men don’t also get suspended sentences for sexual assault. This is not a men’s right issue lol. Get a grip people. It does show a soldier issue though possibly.

12. Forget the whole woman vs man debate for a moment, why does reading about soldiers on an army barracks sound like a night out on the town? I get theyre entitled to some luxuries or whatever but getting pissed up and having it large in the smoking area like ita a wetherspoons or something ffs
