If the legal system in this country had any humanity, the guy would have been locked up never to be released. Those who say that prison should be about refor and rehabilitation, should consider why this guy repeatdly offended. They should also question the oft-stated belief that prisoners learn to be worse criminals. Did this guy go to prison as a shoplifter? No, he was and always will be a sex offender.

On the subject of the woman claiming compo many years later, no, she probably shouldn't have. But the advice given at the time of offences *yes, I have personal experience) is that "you may win the case, but they may not have two pennies, so you will lose out anyway". One needs to ask how and why a convicted sex offender was given the opportunity to win millions in the first place.
