Gay Male Pornography and Sexual Violence: A Sex Equality Perspective on Gay Male Rape and Significant other Abuse
Gay Male Pornography and Sexual
Violence: A Sex Equality Perspective on Queer
Male Rape and Partner Abuse
Christopher N. Kendall*
The author critiques the uneven application of the sex
equality test for pornographic harm advocated by many of
the interveners in Small Sisters Book and Art Emporium.
Contesting the interrelated claims that (1) homosexual
pornography does not result in the perpetuation of the same
kinds of harms documented in relation to heterosexual
pornography; and (2) homosexual pornography is central to
same-sex attracted male identity and liberation, the composer argues that the
differential
treatment of hetero- and homosexual
pornography is not only legally untenable, but also
unsafe given the elevated incidence of local violence
and rape within the homosexual male community.
Arguing in support of the Supreme Court of Canadas
that
decision
insufficient attention has been paid to the specific content
of the gay male pornographic materials at issue in this
litigation. In particular, he argues that both
Boy who raped nine-year-old boy 'affected by gay porn websites'
A teen who was 11 when he raped a nine-year-old searched the internet for "gay rape", "gay porn" and "gay rape porn", a court has heard.
Now aged 13, the boy also sexually assaulted two other boys aged seven and 11.
A judge told the youngster he was concerned he "may have been affected by material available to you [online]".
The boy, from Blackpool, was given a four-year sentence at Preston Crown Court.
Judge Mark Brown said the boy, who earlier pleaded guilty to rape and sexual assault, would have received a considerably longer sentence if he had been an adult.
He said the boy was not "experimenting sexually" but rather was "obtaining sexual gratification or pleasure" by assaulting the children.
The nine-year-old victim had been sexually assaulted in his bedroom "on a number of occasions over a period of some time" and rapes had also taken place, the court was told.
Judge Brown told the boy it was "a terrible and dreadful thing you did to him and I hope you appreciate it should never have happened."
In the upcoming months, Brand-new York state will get an unusual step towards preventing prison rape: Prisons will show inmates — both male and female — an orientation video offering advice on how to identify, and evade, sexual predators behind bars.
The videos, funded through a grant from the federal government under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), are directed by T.J. Parsell, a former prisoner who was also raped in prison. They will be premiered for the inmates who participated in the filming — at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women, Fishkill Correctional Facility, and Downstate Correctional Facility — then rolled out in prisons across the state.
New York has had an uneven document on prison rape. In 2010, according to PREA surveys, three of the eleven prisons in the U.S. with the most staff-on-inmate sexual violence were in New York. Since 2009, three corrections officers at Bedford Hills alone have been charged with raping inmates.
The orientation videos are an attempt to confront that legacy and to change a prison culture in which sexual assault, and the code of silence surrounding it, remain all too common.
The Marshall Project has obtained exclusive access
On Friday, the Marshall Project posted two prison orientation videos – one for incoming female inmates, one for incoming male inmates – which feature veteran inmates advising newcomers on how to avoid being raped. The videos are to be shown to new inmates in all prisons in the mention of New York.
The videos, currently available1 on The Marshall Project’s website, are startling. The tone is that of a welcome video, offering matter-of-fact, practical tips, while the subject is sexual violence.
But much of the reaction to the videos has focused on how unusual it is for New York to take this step – to openly acknowledge that sexual violence in prisons is an ongoing reality despite years of professed “zero tolerance” by the Department of Corrections and Group Supervision (DOCCS).
The videos also take an extraordinary approach to the material, by involving actual inmates in every step of the process. A former prisoner, T.J. Parsell, is the director. Current inmates workshopped all of the content before filming. These inmates are referred to as “the experts,” and interviews with them seize up most of the running time.
Where there is criticism, it has focused not on what is in t
