It perhaps should be noted that this was an appeal, against the sentence given originally by a female judge, the judges upheld that sentence.

"The judge who jailed him, Sally Cahill QC, specifically said that the fact the victims were Asian had been factored in as an 'aggravating feature' when passing sentence.
She stated that the victims and their families had suffered particular 'shame' in their communities because of what had happened to them.
Additionally there were cultural concerns that the girls' future prospects of being regarded as a good catch for arranged marriages might be damaged."

"The argument that Ul Nasir was given a longer sentence due to his own 'ethnic and religious origin' was based on 'a misconception', he added.
'The judge who tried the case was in the best position to determine the correct sentence.'

Mr Justice Walker, sitting with Lord Justice Laws and Mr Justice Mitting, at London's Royal Courts of Justice,, concluded: 'There is no basis for saying that Judge Cahill adopted an incorrect starting point. This application for leave to appeal against sentence must be refused.'

utter tosh Bob

yep .........

......... it was suggested by a judge, reported in the MailOnLine about 2 days ago

In fact, I think he gave a harsher sentence to accused men, with the above explanation.

I believe that a judge suggested this, what a wally

BULL CRAP men who abuse any female should be treated with the hands of the tender loving mothers ... STUPID debate

Abuse is abuse, regardless of the victims ethnicity.

Don't be so silly...

Rubbish!

*discussed*

Men who abuse Asian girls should receive harsher sentences than those who abuse British girls, on the grounds that Asian girls suffer more because of the shame etc. Discuss.
