<JFLAG has long advocated a repeal of the buggery legislation, which outlaws anal sex. Under the law, an offender can receive a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Blaine, however, said the law should remain in place until deviant sexual behaviour by adults toward minors is eliminated.
"We are not changing the buggery law. The number of children who are being buggered in Jamaica means we can't change the law until we can be assured that our children will be protected from sexual predators. This is the time to strengthen laws that refer to sexual behaviour because we know that children are being buggered in Jamaica and it is happening behind closed doors and in secret places," Blaine said.
She argued that most children who are vulnerable to sexual abuse are from underprivileged backgrounds.
"We cannot change the buggery law until we fix poverty. It is because a lot of children are so poor why they face sexual abuse, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual," she said.>
