Two paedophiles have won lifelong anonymity from being named after telling courts they might kill themselves if the public knew their crimes.
...because this sounds to me like
a win/win situation whichever way it goes.
In 2022, a man was spared jail at Antrim Crown Court after admitting 22 offences involving possessing, distributing and making indecent child images.
Initially the sex-offender's identity was revealed following a legal challenge from local democracy reporter Tanya Fowles, however the judge then reversed his ruling and granted lifetime anonymity.
The decision was described as 'unprecedented' while Tanya warned of a 'deluge' of bids for anonymity by convicted paedophiles after the judgement.
Now a second paedophile, who was jailed for 16 months, has received an order to protect their identity from another court in Northern Ireland after threatening self-harm.
You know who else often contemplates suicide and self-harm, 'your honours'? The
victims of paedophiles. Shouldn't you be more concerned about them?
Maybe have a whip-round to get them a knife or something.
ReplyDeleteHand the piece of shit a sharp knife and go "get on with it then". Soon see how much 'self harm' will ensue. Offer to cut off his bollocks with a pair of secateurs as well, see if hes serious about it!
