Of course it's not appropriate to grope kids you dipshit but that's not the point of OP's outrage. He seems horrified that the guy said rape requires penetration but he's simply stating a fact.

What does that nonsensical sentence even mean? Rape requires penetration. Read literally any legal definition of the word. I already posted two of them in this thread.

This is the problem with you liberal lynch mobs. You have no idea what the words you use mean. That priest in the OP's link is a piece of shit. That still doesn't mean that if you (anon F) get very drunk at a party one night and stupidly grope or fondle a woman's breast you should be labelled a rapist. Do you see the problem now with irresponsible use of very serious crimes? It DEVALUES the actual crime.

How do you feel about attempted rape? Sure let's call a crime what it is, but do you think the person should be held to a different standard for their behavior because they failed to actually commit a crime? If I drag a girl into a dark alley to rape her and she manages to get away, I'm innocent right? I still get to walk the streets and call myself a good person because I'm not a rapist?

You playing rape apologist by taking events out of context and ignoring intent doesn't help. Do you think priests that fondle kids sometimes have a different intent? Do you think sometimes old men like to jack off little boys as part of playtime and that's cool because nothing is being penetrated?

Everyone acts shocked when it comes out that Catholic clergy or Hollywood producers regularly take advantage of trust or position to molest people against their will. Everyone is puzzled how these things were "open secrets" that just never got reported all this time. It's this brand of contextless definitional "it's not a crime unless..." deflection that allows all those open secrets to go on so long.

That's probably a question for a courtroom and a specific set of circumstances. In some cases where damages factor into the sentencing, then maybe. In some cases attempted murder can result in a longer sentence than the murder itself would have. If you try to assassinate the President, do you think you'll get a lighter sentence for being a poor shot? It's hard to generalize because things are going to vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and with the type of crime and the circumstances surrounding it. That's all pretty wide of the point though.

The president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights mentioned in the OP is right that none of the abuse uncovered by the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report resulted in anyone being found guilty of anything. All the records the Church handed over are conveniently old enough to not be able to be prosecuted. If you haven't read the Grand Jury report, I would urge you to at least read the first five or six pages. (it's really long, but it reads like a really fucked up true crime story) What it does show is an organized and systematic attempt to cover up abuse by launching internal investigations designed to go nowhere and shuffling priests around to avoid prosecution. I don't think that's anything that should be ignored. Oh, and it describes rape. Real, actual rape with penetrations and everything.

The old guy who gets paid to defend the Catholic Church wants to distract everybody from what is happening by crying about how badly his friends are being treated in the press. If a journalist uses "rape" to characterize the assaults, too bad. Some of the complaints are about actual rapes and the repeated victimization of kids. This guy is just getting huffy because a few of the reports of over-the-pants touching might not fit the same legal definition.

Revolted. It's a horrific crime.

Yes, let's.

Under the law? Yes. Hence the standard being different under the law. Attempting to commit a crime is punished less severely than fulfilling that same crime.

I'd have thought this was self-evident but apparently it isn't to you.

> If I drag a girl into a dark alley to rape her and she manages to get away, I'm innocent right?

No, you're guilty of attempted rape. Stop being idiotic with language.

> I still get to walk the streets and call myself a good person because I'm not a rapist?

No, you get to be prosecuted for attempted rape because you're an attempted rapist. Stop being idiotic with language.

> You playing rape apologist by taking events out of context and ignoring intent doesn't help.

"Rape apologist"? Someone is explaining how the law works in Western democracies. Quick, let's resort to ad hominem attacks, as per the liberal playbook.

The only one "taking events out of context" is you with your stupid loaded "If I try but fail to rape someone I'm awesome right?" bullshit

> Do you think sometimes old men like to jack off little boys as part of playtime and that's cool because nothing is being penetrated?

Again it's fascinating watching how you guys do this shit in real time, how you completely shift the goalposts and blur what the issue actually is.

No, it's not "cool". It's very serious sexual abuse. Stop being an idiot.

> It's this brand of "it's not a crime unless..."

Otherwise known as knowing and following the legal principles and codex of Western civilization.

No, the tragedy is systematic child abuse and child rape, the perpetrators of which will never be brought to account while dipshit liberals keep shitting all over due process and irresponsibly hurling accusations at people without understanding what they're saying.

Normal person: "Scumbags will keep avoiding punishment so long as we keep obfuscating what crimes actually are"

Liberals: "Bullshit! You're a pedo too!! Rape apologist!! Which is the same as rapist!! You're a rapist!"

There are women out there that when groped and rape attempted yet failed to penetrate - They can be so traumatized for the rest of their life, that the failure to penetrate does not help them live a peaceful life.

Maybe the same as attempted murder vs murder. The attempt can be much worse than death, because one has to still Live and the other case the person is dead and no longer feels pain.

Wait.
So this court case took place in Pennsylvania.
"In Pennsylvania, rape is a crime where the defendant forcibly or under threat of force engages in sexual intercourse with another person. Rape can also occur if the defendant has substantially impaired the victim's ability to control his/her conduct by intoxicating the victim without his/her knowledge or if the victim has a mental disability."
https://statelaws.findlaw.com/pennsylvania-law/pennsylvania-rape-laws.html

The US DoJ has the requirement of penetration but the state of Pennsylvania does not, and it is Pennsylvania law which is relevant here. Thanks.

What on earth are you talking about? The very link you not only posted but even quoted from says that penetration is a requirement of rape in Pennsylvania state law. Re-read again each of the 5 scenarios in the 'statutory definition of rape' in your link because I think you haven't properly understood what you read.

Minus the "crying", you are correct, I am saying people who have committed rape should not be "lumped in" (your very telling phrase) with people who haven't committed rape. Because by doing so you lessen and devalue the seriousness of rape.

> but you policing people's language doesn't change anything.

I know, you've made it abundantly clear you have zero knowledge of the law and even less interest in learning about it, and so you characterize it as "policing language". What you want is to hurl accusations and insults and say "lol kill yourself, u mad bro". That's your level and it's what you default to when someone pushes back on your bullshit.

If anything is getting torn apart here it's your bizarre claims and persecution narrative. You seem to be the one playing the victim while hurling insults and ad hominem attacks. You seem to be the one trying to police everyone's language while pretending you're beset by an imaginary liberal lynch mob.
