Too short for prison!

CNN News: Judge says sex offender too short for prison

Prosecutor vows to appeal 10-year probationary sentence

A judge's decision to sentence a 5-foot-1 man to probation instead of prison for sexually assaulting a child has angered crime victim advocates who say the punishment sends the wrong message.

But supporters of short people say it's about time someone recognizes the unique challenges they face.
What the hell? Too short for prison! He sexually assaulted a 12 year old.

Truly bloody astonishing that anybody would see this was an issue to offer their support to. Short people probably do face challenges in their life but they're not alone in facing challenges so do a lot of people but you don't see them escaping jail terms.

I'm sure he wouldn't face more of a challenge than other child molesters that are imprisoned as regular inmates don't look favourably on 'nonces' be they tall, short or whatever.
