Yes, sure enough. Its one of those names that sticks like s**t to a blanket. Even if someone suggested it in casual gossip, it would spread like wildfire, true or untrue. Its one of those ugly kind of words, the kind of work like gay, paki and plenty others that is spat out in school playgrounds and sink estate shopping arcades the length and breadth of the country.

One thing that ****es me off is that whenever any reference is made to sex crimes, the masculine gender is always used.

Even in law within the sexual offences act "he" is used rather than he, she or it.

Of course this is probably for convenience and i have not checked but somewhere at the beginning of the book there is probably some disclaimer along the lines of..."the masculine shall also denote the feminine",,blah blah blah.

Let us not forget that there are also female sex offenders

Although all is not what it seems as in this case, the woman in question was acquitted as it was accepted that the youth had forced her to commit the acts whilst holding a screwdriver to her head. Presumably he will now be charged with something-we await the outcome.

Also it has been claimed that in some schools, pupils are more at risk of sexual offences from fellow pupils than from teachers !
