Female Man City fan who groped (Sexually Assaulted) man spared jail despite victim's plea to treat her same as male. Mother-of-six Jemma Whiteside, 40, grabbed the man's genitals and rubbed her bottom against his shoulder at an Everton v Manchester City Premier League game. She was said to have been heard saying: "I am going to f--- him later, and I don't even know his name." The Everton-supporting victim reported the incident to police saying he was "shocked and upset" at being fondled. In a statement he said: "It should not matter whether the assault was by a man or a woman, it should be treated the same", and the sentence has been branded a "double standard" by a charity. When Manchester City fan Whiteside, of Worsley, Greater Manchester was asked about the incident she said: "No offence to Liverpool but a Scouse man is not something that I would want or need." Whiteside, whose son is in the final year of a scholarship at a Premier League club and whose daughter is undertaking trials at Liverpool FC, faced up up to ten years jail after she was convicted of sexual assault after a trial. Sentences range from community orders to 10 years imprisonment for the offence. But she was handed a nine-month community order at Sefton Magistrates' Court, after a judge said people "in drink people can and often do things which are very out of character". -- Mark Brooks, chair of the ManKind Initiative charity for male victims of domestic abuse said: "This poor sentence shows the double standards that men face because society and some judges do not view the men as being equals to women when it comes to these types of crimes. "If the sexes were reversed, we would rightly expect a man to serve some form of prison sentence, so the outcome here should have been the same." The incident occurred on Feb 26 this year when Whiteside was at Goodison Park to see City beat Everton 1-0. District Judge James Clarke said: "In drink people can and often do things which are very out of character. I am sure the lady had been drinking during the course of the afternoon. She was a lady in high spirits who was hurried by her friends and taking last sips of alcohol in the process. "The defendant was a joker, and this is a prank that has gone very badly wrong whilst committed in drink and perhaps showing off to friends on the occasion." --Sack the Judge as he is grossly sexist against Men.
