judge not jailed

[paulyoung666]

there is something seriously wrong here , link , i hope it isnt a case of old boys school

i thought you would have realised by now.
THE LAW LOOKS AFTER ITS OWN.
they always have done always will.

Yes I agree - I wonder if the sentence would have been so lenient if he had just been plain Joe Bloggs working for the council??

[MetaWraith]

Brings to mind a saying i barely recall, something like

"One law for all, which equally prevents both rich and poor alike from stealing bread and sleeping under bridges"

However the rich have no need to steal bread and such.

aint right though is it , and yes i have realised it long before now

i saw this on the news and even my 12year old brother commented on how wrong it was. this guy commited an offence, and a serious one. will his "punishment" mean anything to him?

this makes me mad, because if it was someone else then they would get in serious trob

Typically looks like the legal perfession looking after their own. Personally I think, like all 'his' type, a large hammer applied to the knackers repeatidly would be a suitable punishment.

nice one earl of bronze.
didn't mean to upset you paulyoung666

It's always the same, top cops and judges always get off with speeding/drink driving charges too.

and they wonder why the general publics respect for the law is diminishing all the time

no worries my mate , mind you i wonder if this is a bit more of the same

i think this is worse than the judge(and he wants castrating) because this guy came into contact with kids all day.he probably got his jollies everyday without anybody knowing.
i see they've just arrested 45 people in manchester today for having kiddie porn on there computers,i shall be interested to see who they are and if convicted what they get.

it is so f@cking annoying , they almost seem to be above the law

I think what annoys me about the judge's 'sentance' is that he himself commited several offenders of similar charges to long prison stretches - yet he himself receives only a token one. I don't really see how the law can allow for such wide ranges of custodial sentances - surely everyone that purposefully downloads child pornography is guilty of a crime that requires a long prison sentance.

This totally beggars belief a former (he retired when charged with the offence) Crown Court judge was given 12-month community rehabilitation order but was not adding a condition to attend a sex offenders' programme.( I hope this does not mean he has not been put on the sex offenders register??) It was also reported: The commission of these offences and the convictions now recorded are undoubtedly a personal tragedy to him and his family.

So what about the young children boys and girls who have been molested so people like him can get their rocks off. But Selwood, from Winchester, Hampshire, maintained he had no sexual interest in young children, insisting he had accessed child abuse websites out of curiosity. (question: why did he store the images on his computer?)

So now its out in the public domain, lets see if any young men come forward and allege they were sexually abused by this man.

When one child is abused, it is a tragedy.
When thousands are abused, it is just a statistic.


May I add that if you find one flea on a cat, there are 100s or even 1000s more to find!

I think what is also worth noting about this individul, as he retired when the charge was brought (but before he went to court) he collected a bulk sum of over £70,000 and around £30,000 per year pension for the rest of his life - a package thought to be worth about half a million quid of tax payers money.
