"'The school’s focus will be on ensuring it continues to meet the educational and well being needs of all pupils.'..."

...'but we won't worry too much that they are doing maths and English in the company of a convicted rapist':
Her older brother is also due to attend the same school in Cambridgeshire next year and will face bumping into him between lessons.
If that were my brother, I like to think that would be longed for, rather than used as a lever to get the rapist moved to another school...
Another mother, said: 'I can't believe that the person in question has been allowed back into the school.'
'As parents we were not told about it, which I am furious about.'
'I feel my daughter is at risk. I am so angry and shocked by what's going on. Whoever's decision it was to place the attacker back at the school has a lot to answer for.'
Well, indeed!

But they won't have to. They never do.

Another example of Gareth Hawksworth not thinking it through. A community order meant - obviously - that he would be in the same community as the victim. Idiot. Does he not realize this is coming up for the 10 year memorial of the Cambridgeshire school which managed to employ a homicidal maniac as a caretaker?

Now, because nobody knows which school is involved, everyone is looking over their shoulder and assuming it is probably theirs. And every 14 year old boy is now being treated like a potential rapist.

The Sun says:

The victim’s parents believe the teen rapist’s interest in porn was exaggerated to help his defence. They say there was no mention of him accessing sex images online until the court case began.

Cops have since told them there was only “mild” porn on the boy’s laptop — and it did not feature children.


In other words, he thought he could abuse a kid and get away with it, and he's not safe to have near other children.

BTW, they don't usually learn this from pornography. They learn it from home. He needed to be removed for his own safety.

I have to chip in here.

When I was this boy's age, I was, to use Jack Straw's phrase, "fizzing with testosterone".

I was obsessed with sex and, despite it being 30+ years ago, I had access, as we all did, to hard core porn in the form of dog eared Swedish erotica.

No way would I have sexually assaulted anyone let alone a four year old child.

WOAR's BTW comment is spot on. There is something wrong with this kid. Any normal man who could remember his mid teens properly would agree.

Not a mistake Judge Mark Brown was eager to make, I note...

"There is something wrong with this kid. Any normal man who could remember his mid teens properly would agree."

Sadly, he's not alone.
