JUST FOLLOWING IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS

A 55-year-old aboriginal elder in Australia has gotten away with only a four-week jail sentence after hitting a 14-year-old girl with a boomerang and then having anal sex with her. The judge took pity on the man because such actions are permitted under aboriginal law. The elder told the judge that the girl had been promised to him as his future wife and he simply did what dirty old bastards in his culture have always done. (smh.com.au)
