Lobby group calls for criminal charges against Castlegar men who penned 'Deflowered in Seconds'

Ed note: The following is a press release issued by a lobby group, in which they name the Castlegar men who penned 'Deflowered in Seconds'. I agonized over whether to publish these names ... at first choosing not to, for fear of repercussions for myself and the young men involved. However, I now know this press release is being issued to many, many news organizations, country-wide, and the authors' anonymity is no longer at issue.

Furthermore, and far more importantly, to my thinking, is the fact that the authors are the ones who first published this to the Internet, thus relinquishing their rights to anonimity.

I contacted both young men, offering them an opportunity to share their side of the story and shed light on why they wrote 'Deflowered in Seconds', at the same time promising not to publish their names.

Both declined to even respond to my messages.

So, here's the press release in its entirety.

You decide whether I was right in running it - and please share your opinions with The Source.

 

 

Girls Advocacy Group calls for Charges against
Teen Sex Manual Authors Jason Osachoff and Curtis Delikatny
 
Vancouver girls’ rights organization Justice for Girls is calling on the Castlegar
RCMP to recommend charges against Jason Osachoff and Curtis Delikatny for
their production and distribution of a Facebook page that coaches young men to
sexually assault and exploit teen girls.
 
The Facebook page entitled “Deflower in Seconds” is a detailed manual on how
to sexually assault and exploit teenage girls as young as thirteen. 21 year old
Jason Osachoff launched the page on Facebook in February, 2011. As a result
of public outcry the page has since been removed from the site.
 
Annabel Webb, advocate at Justice for girls states, “There are grounds for
charges under child pornography laws that prohibit publishing material that
advocates child sexual abuse. These two men must be held accountable for
promoting hatred and sexual violence against teen girls.”
 
Webb goes on to question why the identities of these men have not been released: “We see no legal reason why the identities of the men who wrote the rape manual should be protected. They made a decision to publish this kind of misogyny and they saw no reason to hide their identities then so why should they be protected now?
 
"Girls in Castlegar have a right to know who is targeting them.”
 
Legal expert on pornography and sexual assault, UBC law Professor Janine
Benedet argues that despite the authors’ disclaimer charges should be laid:
“Detailed descriptions of how to sexually exploit girls who are not legally able to
consent because of age or intoxication, or advice to coerce sex by threatening
girls with the release of nude photos, are examples of child pornography
prohibited by the Criminal Code. They should not be immunized from
prosecution by tacking on a claim that it was only a joke.”
 
Justice for Girls is a federally funded non-profit organization that was
established in 1999 to promote support, justice, and equality for teenage girls.
Justice for Girls has engaged law and policy makers at local, provincial, federal,
and international levels and has appeared before numerous human rights
bodies domestically and internationally to address violence against teenage
girls.

Hardly Clothed

Honestly, for all of the parents out there with a young daughter, as a nineteen year old female, all I can say is, when your daughter is leaving the house, make sure she is wearing clothes. This summer I have seen things that my mom would cry if she saw me walking around town in. Thirteen year old girls wearing spandex shorts that look the same as a pair of underwear is not okay. Letting your daughter leave the house with her breasts and stomach hardly covered, is not okay. When I see a fourteen year old girl with a face full of too much makeup, and hardly any clothes on, and then I hear about this LG issue, where young men are trying to sleep with young girls it shocks me that nobody has put two and two together. Why are your children dressing like this? Perhaps for attention from boys? And why are you allowing your children to leave the house with hardly any clothes on? If you say that young girls should be safe in their own town no matter what they are wearing, you are right, but there is also a thing called reality. Here is a tip that is well known by the generation of parents before you, : Provocatively dressed females attract attention from the wrong type of males. Yes these boys are still at fault because what they do is sick, but to put all blame on them is the easy way out. Talk to your daughters, ensure that they are dressed when they leave the house.

So appalling, where are the parents?? Just some googling and i came up with: http://secureyourfacebook.com/main/jason-ohsosoft-osachoff/ and a pdf of the original facebook page http://www.scribd.com/doc/57335785/pedo I can't believe that people think that it is ok for someone in their 20's to write a manual on how to take advantage of under age girls and then laugh about how funny it is.

There is alot of sexual abuse

There is alot of sexual abuse out there and I think these young men are only the tip of the iceburg the whole ponography industry should be taken for what it is sexual exploitation of women and men IT does nothing but destroy lives. And how many of us just sit back and say oh well. I think it is too bad that these young men did not put forward their side of the story I think if they did there would be alot more blame to go around. My guess is they are very affraid of what is going to happen and are affraid to speak on grounds they may incriminate themselves and unfortunatly we all loose.
