The day that Walter Masocha, a convicted sex offender walked free from Falkirk Sheriff Court, much to the shock of the world, I knew that the color of my skin and that of the 15 year old girl he sexually abused had had a lot to do with Sheriff Kenneth McGowan's decision to let Walter Masocha escape jail with 250 hours community service.
If only I had been a white woman, justice would have prevailed
If only the 15 year old girl groped by Walter Masocha had been a white girl, I believe the Sherrif would not have had mercy on Masocha, because race matters. Maxwell Nyakutya, an Agape church leader and Masocha's closest friend merely stroked another 15 year old girl's leg on a bus, and Sherrif Hendry had no sympathy or mercy for him, considering a custodial sentence for the sex offender, giving him 2 years probation and putting him on the sex offender register for 5 years, a far contrast to the one year on the sex offender register that was given to Masocha for more multiple sex offences, including abusing a 15 year old girl also. Two 15 year old girls, one touched on the thigh in a bus, the other groped inside her underwear in a closed environment by her preacher after being groomed, but the former 15 year old girl got justice and the latterr didn't. Why, because one was white and the other was black. The 15 year old who didn't get justice had to give evidence in court, she had to be cross examined, she missed school, only for her sex offender to walk free from court. Why, because she wasn't white enough. If only she had been white, maybe with red hair and freckles, then that would have made all the difference, she would have lived to see justice in modern Britain. She would not have wavered her anonymity, but as a victim of sexual assault, she would have been protected for the rest of her life. If only she had been a white 15 year old girl, even the public would have been outraged by the sentence her convicted molester was given.
Even me, a 33 year old mother of 4, left homeless and assaulted by the Bishop with my husband's permission, if only my skin shade had been different, then I would not have gone through a week of grueling cross examination , taking my children off school for my abuser to get community service. I would not have spent hours giving evidence in court, one of the most difficult things for a victim of sex abuse to go through, only for my abuser to be on the sex offender register for a year. Even a man who touches a girl on a bus gets 5 years on the sex offender register. If I had been a white woman in modern Britain today, then Sherrif McGowan would not have told sex pervert Walter Masocha that hes not going to jail because he had already suffered a spectacular fall from grace, because sex offenders are meant to fall spectacularly from grace, especially those respected by the community and who take a position of leadership and trust. There is no other way for sex offenders to fall from grace, public humiliation is inevitable in 99.9% of the cases and the fall from grace will be nothing but spectacular. That is no reason for the sentence to be lenient, because it is the victim who matters not the offender. Max Clifford, Rolf Harris and even dead Jimmy Saville all suffered spectacular falls from grace before the sentences were passed. But that never deterred from the severity of the sentencing intended for the crime committed.
Max Clifford was even given a tougher jail sentence by Judge Anthony Leonard, double the time he was supposed to serve because he showed no remorse over the white women and girls he had assaulted, Judge Anthony Leonard didn't care that Max Clifford had once hosted a charity dinner to raise money for a boy with cancer. The judge didn't consider that Max Clifford had been involved in so many charities in Britain, what mattered was the way he had abused his position of power and influence to abuse vulnerable women and girls, and for that he sent him to prison for 8 years. Why, because white women he had abused mattered. What about Rolf Harris. Mr Justice Sweeny sentenced him to 5 years and 9 months in Prison because the entertainer had shown no remorse for a string of indecent assaults. It didn't matter that Rolf Harris had even painted a picture of the Queen once, and at one time he was loved and adored by the British public, all that didn't matter, it was about the victims he violated and took advantage of.
Sherrif McGowan said sex offender Walter Masocha had done some charity work and was a man of good character. I believe every pedophile in the world is of good moral standing to some degree, and good character which allows them to be sex perverts for years without suspicion. Most of them are very charming and "nice people". That's the whole idea. They are not exactly going to walk around with a label on the fore head that screams "I will be molesting a 15 year old girl today in my office". Of course not, they will be very respectable and wear tailor made suits, I never thought I would see the day in modern Britain, where a convicted pedophile escapes jail because he was "respected by his church members". It sure saved Walter Masocha to pretend to be a good man, even though he has raped women, abused girls, groped women. Why because black girls and women just don't matter enough for them to see justice on the men who cruelly violated them.
About the charity work, may I just correct Sir Sherrif McGowan that Walter Masocha has never done any sort of charity work all his life in any shape or form. He doesn't even know the meaning of the words "helping" or "charity". Max Clifford had done significant charity work in the world, making a difference in the world, but hes in jail today for sexual assault. The real charity work did not save him from receiving the sentence he deserved. Rolf Harris did proper charity work too okay, like painting a card for children in need charity organisation, supporting Princes Trust etc, but his backside is in jail today, why, because the white girls he abused matter. As for Walter Masocha he has never donated a penny to anyone in his life, never saved a soul. You could be dying of cancer and Walter Masocha would literally ask you to bless him with the little you have so that God will heal you, He has a charity alright, but he uses it to abuse and manipulate the weak, and the vulnerable. The ethic minorities, single mothers, the mentally weak, the asylum seekers, yes the black spiritual people of modern Britain. He is the one who is given money by his followers, if that is what charity work is described as in Scotland, then I believe the definition needs to be changed in oxford dictionary.
So yes I will say it again boldly, If I was a white woman today, with blonde hair and blue eyes, my convicted abuser would not be roaming the streets today, especially when found guilty of multiple sex offences, and shown no remorse for what he did, never apologized once but continues to be idolized and worshiped by his followers running a registered charity, of course Sheriff Kenneth McGowan would have definitely sentenced him to jail, If I had been a white woman today, then my sex abuser would not be flying first class this weekend to attend an Agape wedding of Ruvimbo and Odingo Matorera where his travel, 5 star accommodation, food and clothing is being paid for by church members so that he can "bless" the wedding as "Daddy" and 'The Prophet' despite being a convicted sex offender.
But still I hope. I believe my work was never in vain and will never be in vain. I may be just a woman. A black woman rather. But I still hope. As Reggie Yates BBC documentary will explore, IS BRITAIN RACIST? Going undercover to explore the nation's modern day prejudices, determining that the country still discriminates against people because of the color of their skin. Well I have lived to experience this reality as a victim of sexual assault and life threatening abuses that almost killed me. But still I dream, that one day no man, preacher or not, prophet or not, will touch a black girl, or a black woman and get away with it because she was just a black girl. I have a dream, that one day black women will live to see justice in modern Britain, and their convicted sex offenders will not be excused because they had already fallen from grace, or were respected by their followers, or wore expensive suits and ran a registered charity, but will be judged according to the severity of their crimes, not their alter egos. I have a dream, that one day the law will change on the sentencing of religious sex offenders who use their "charities", " good social standing " and "power" to abuse vulnerable women and children. I have a dream, that one day the black woman will matter, as a sexual assault victim, but for now I can only say if only I was a white woman, then I would have seen the man who abused me face a jail sentence. If only...

In Other New
What made me survive this abuse was the woman in me. I drew strength from being myself and expressing myself, in writing, fashion, drawing and just being me, Just Jean. My new JUST JEAN Afrocentric T shirts are perfect for autumn. Its time to cover up and get our jeans out of the closet. What I love about the Just Jean t-shirts is they are very versatile, and can be worn with just about anything casual, leggings, maxi shirks, Jeans, pants, casual skirts and/or shorts. My children are very excited about this collection, making me one very proud mummy, its Just Jean...

Infact, after reading this post i feel this Lady deserved more. I dont blame the judge but maybe he ruled based on black presidence. I wish you luck young lady and keep up the good works you have started.
Hey girl, nice T SHIRTS, how do we get one. GO GIRL
Being happy after a long cry is something I applaud you for. The strength of a Woman. Nice family by the way and how much is the T shirts plx
We need you to use whatever strength u have left to bring Masocha down. All prayers will be said for you
Great article Jean, very well written.
Yes Jean I total I agree with you about if only you were a white lady and if the girl was a white girl definitely justice would have been served!but Jean Gasho I'm sure U come from zimbabwe iwewe and U know juju is there apa pakashanda mushonga
U think gogo Agape was just seating down and gogo Lewis too and all those trips of mai Masocha to Nigeria was a social visit and that new envoy Purple of Nigeria were seating down vakaramba.
That was a serious case mushonga wakashanda dhiya . its not the jury or the judges fault juju works dear, come on even the way pipo give him and his family money its not normal its juju working.
So just know for a fact those pipo know and use juju
Juju maybe but who has the final say! Jehovah has the final say. Juju is short lived. Lesser powers must bow and will bow. This case must be re opened and reviewed. What am I saying? Justice will be served by the Almighty himself.
Jean looking good and lovely boys you have including Nino. Praying for God's perfect plan for your life!
Juju is a lesser power! And lesser power will bow. Do not be troubled. Only God himself executes the final judgement not the judges here on earth who are influenced by money and race and other such things!
Juju is a lesser power! And lesser power will bow. Do not be troubled. Only God himself executes the final judgement not the judges here on earth who are influenced by money and race and other such things!
