DO YOU AGREE WITH THE COURT'S DECISION IN THE SPANNER CASE?

The Spanner case was a famous investigation that was headed by the police in the lates 80'.
This case was related with male sadomasochism because a group of male practiced sex
actions in group. During the act, there were several painful actions like whipping, wax
playing and spanking between them. The important part became when, the police watched
one tape were a group of males they were practising this type of activities but what the
police noticed was that a man passed a nail through a piercing in his foreskin, then he made
a serie of incisions with a scalpel in the man’s penis and by last, the man hammered the
other man’s penis into a block of wood. After watching this tape the police began an
investigation and they looked for the males of the video, the Operation Spanner leaded the
investigation. When the police interviewed some of the man of the video, they fully
cooperated by identifying themselves on the tape. After finding the man that committed
those actions, he was interrogated and the police found that any of the men that were on the
videos were in the situation, they were there because they wanted and they gave all of they
consentiment and they didn’t have any important injuries. Likewise, those men were accused
for bodily harm and unlawful wounding. But the accusation most important included
conspiracy charges, which can only be heard in Crown Court, so the case was referred to
the Old Bailey. After that, the court decided that five of the total men they should go to jail.

After making a little summary of the Spanner case, i can say that I don’t agree with the
court’s decision. First of all, those man who participated in the sex actions, they were very
conscious of what they were doing so I think that the Court's decision was unfair. Those men
did those actions because they wanted and they knew what all was about, so if they got
injured it would be they fault. So, the Court's decision wasn't fair because those men had all
the right of use they free time with the activities they wanted to do. Second of all, in part I
understand the Court's decision because of those men didn't went with caution, some
actions could ended with serious injuries so, the final decision can be a determinate way to
protect those men. In conclusion, I think that if somebody wants to do certain things or
activities with their free time and doesn't include serious problems or injuries, people can do
whatever they want.
