A man jailed for fo[u]r years claims he is still a good dad despite offering his son cocaine and trying to get him to have sex with a 26-year-old prostitute.
“Don’t be a p[u]ssy” the man told his son after he organised for two sex workers to visit a hotel in Bromley, Greater London. The young lad, who cannot be named, bravely told his dad “I’m f***ing 13, that’s ridiculous” when he was offered a line of cocaine.
At his sentencing hearing, the man told Croydon Crown Court he is a great father, despite appearing to have some weird and very skewed views on what is good parenting. "I’m a good father,” he insisted, after he pleaded guilty to arranging for a child to engage in sexual activity as well as offering to supply cocaine.
He told the court: "I might not look like it in your eyes. It was only because he was feeling down because he’d broken up with his girlfriend and he said he’d done all that stuff before.
He added: “So the brass sucked his p****. Job done. Whatever.”
Yes, teenage boys are notorious for brushing off the harm done by the statutory sexual assault of their peers. But if we’re going to start taking sexual violence against men seriously we have to take sexual violence against men seriously. The boy in the article was well below the age of consent and did not want to engage in the sex acts that his father pushed him to perform. If it was a 13 year old girl it would be nearly universally recognized as horrible (even if her friends thought it was really cool and were envious).
