Has anyone been following this case at all? I've been catching up.
What are your thoughts?
Is this a clear cut case of statutory -blam!-?
Are they being targeted due to orientation?
If this was a man of the same age as the older girl and his partner was the same age as the victim would the outcome, charges, and media attention be different?

She had sex with somebody under the age of consent then was told not to talk to the girl and broke those rules and is being punished for it. It's a shame but the law is the law. I doubt their orientation had anything to do with it consider it was a 18 year old having sex with a 14 year old. It's legal in the UK to have normal sex and anal sex but it's illegal for gay guys to have anal sex until they are 18. That's discrimination but probably over looked by everybody. No signs of discrimination in this care.
