What are they going to gain from this? This pensioner stood up for her rights and it stinks to high heaven that she's been jailed.

The point is that noone is above the law, I don't care how old they are, what gender they are, or what principles that stand up for. In the eyes of justice, we are all equal.

OK, so let her get away with it. Pretty soon every pensioner will start doing it. It will cost us a damn sight more then won't it? Hell, let's the the 50 year old pensioners get away with it. Pretty soon everyone will be at it.

OR, because she's old, lets not send us to jail. Look over there, there is a 73 year old paedophile. He's old, on a pension, shall we let him off the hook too? Not quite. The law is there for everyone, and everyone should follow it, no exceptions. I don't care if you are an old woman, or a young male copper. Noone is above the law
