    You could defend that as a “heat of the moment” kind of thing. It was the victim’s kink, after all. 4 years is not unjust, but I would have also accepted 2 years.

    Considering that the article talks about the accusers trying for second degree murder, it looks like they were looking to get the maximum punishment rather than plain old justice. I don’t see why they would do that.

      I don’t see why they would do that.

      Because it was about sex and kink, which is icky.

      That’s actually serious. It was something that makes them deeply uncomfortable and feels gross to them, and so they tried for a much harsher charge.
