NN, per Rule 4. Adil Rashid did not ‘walk free.’ He was found guilty of rape in a British Court. This is because ignorance of the law is not a defence in British Courts. [Link] The original post otherwise expresses an opinion about jail sentences. For this, no note is required.

NNN, although found guilty, he did walk free with only a suspended sentence, so post is factually correct. [Link]

NNN - 'Walk free' is a factually correct claim. The aforementioned rapist did not receive a prison sentence.

NNN - A "suspended sentence" means the person will not serve any jail time, hence why the OP stated this person was allowed to walk free. His "ignorance" did not exonerate him of the crime, but it's the reason he was given a lighter sentence.

Happened some years back , but raping a 13 years old and then walking free is mind blogging and shows the weak law and justice system. [Link]

10 years ago. Both were teens. Her age matched the age of consent in Japan and was 1 year below the age of consent in Austria, Brazil and Germany (and Hawaii in 1999). Obviously a crime (statutory rape) but not violent rape as inferred by the post [Link]

Since 50+yo Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6yo and consummated that marriage at 9yo, why would anyone be surprised that adherents to that religion wouldn't at least be confused about ch!ld r@pe? He was no prophet at all, just a warlord who adopted symbol of a pagan moon god

CONTEXT: This incident happened over 11 years ago. The judge said that because Rashid was ‘passive’ and ‘lacking assertiveness’, sending him to jail might cause him ‘more damage than good’. 18 year old Rashid told police he was seduced. Learn more on the original article: [Link]

NNN, the date is clearly shown as 2013 on the article and the OP doesn’t portray it as breaking or recent.

NNN. The post is factually correct and not misleading. Rashid was spared jail (essentially equivalent to walking free) because he supposedly didn't know that what he did was illegal. The suggested notes only focus on irrelevant details that don't disprove this central premise.
