Very well researched and so terribly sad. Shows the harm done by such unfair laws.

I've found similar cases of procurers being given lighter sentences for murder, a weird mix of sympathy with the abortionist, and moral censure of the victim. But three years is VERY light!

How sad and how draconian it all seems. Whatever the rights and wrongs and hurts of it all for the people involved it shows the lengths to which they were driven to act within the confines of society. Thank you for your work.

"Captain R. Peacock", huh? An ancestor of the man with the same name and title from "Are You Being Served?".
