YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"A convicted child sex offender’s prison sentence in Argentina was cut nearly in half — from six years to three years and two months — because judges said the six-year-old victim was “used to” being abused.

The ruling was recently made public by a local television news station and has since caused uproar, particularly among LGBT advocates who say the ruling essentially casts blame on the victim because of his perceived sexual orientation.

Mario Tolosa, manager of a soccer team for children in the neighborhood of Vicente López in the Buenos Aires province, was originally sentenced in April 2012. The victim, whose identity has not been released due to his age, was 6 years old when Tolosa took him to a restroom during a soccer match and molested him. When the child got home, he told his grandmother what happened, and she reported it to the police.” *
