Topic History of: No Jail for Paedo Teacher.....Why ?

BR	I think you are all missing out one thing. The bloke WAS a teacher - and so had access to children every day which in itself allied to his habit of downloading Child Porn eventually would have led to offending. It is like letting someone lose in a sweet shop who loves sugar but claims to be on a diet. We all know what would happen. Sorry I just dont agree. I believe that under CURRENT LAW he should have been jailed. However, I do agree with you that prison would not help him or sort out the issue and in fact might make it worse ( the judge obviously has taken this view that as long as he does not work with children he is no danger ) But according to the law he should be jailed - and in comparison with the "Paedohysteria" cases where people are jailed for several and sometime into double figures for similar cases who DONT work with children - it does show the sentencing regime in our courts is totally wrong and crazy.
veritas	I think the title of this thread points to the hysteria that surrounds the subject. Why is he a 'Paedo' ?..was any evidence produced that he was ? OK the photographs but that as an offence under law was punished accordingly but if someone shoplifts and is busted can we also assume they steal cars as well? the law has to be more specific.
Innocent Accused	The vast majority were not pornographic,and of the lowest level.In many cases this means non nude shots,possibly slightly suggestive,nothing more.Only some were of the nasty category. I do agree it's addictive behavior,better dealt with by a mental health pro,than putting him in a prison where he'll pick up much worse habits and on release could become a real danger. Remember there was never any mention of the possibility of real life offending.
veritas	I disagree..he may have a disgusting habit of collecting ..like those people who wash their hands every 5 minutes. what could someone actually do with 25,000 pictures ??? sounds obsessional to me
BR	First I would say that no-one should be jailed for possessing porn of any kind. It is the PORN that is illegal - not the possession of it. But if the law says having Child Porn is illegal then the law should be enforced. I would say that this chap is a danger. This is not just some weird hobby - it has in the past led him to innapropriate sexual behaviour - and having photos of 6 year olds doing sex acts is surely not normal behaviour ? These are not "allegations" they are facts - he has 25000 photos and has an unhealthy interest in what must be under age children ( certainly 6 is too young ). This is far more serious than a historic allegation with no evidence in my view. The evidence exists and it shows a pattern of behaviour over a period of time. If this guy is not jailed then NO ONE at all with child porn should be jailed. You see others jailed all the time for far less serious photos and in far fewer numbers.......and with Good Character. This case does seem weird but I think there will be many who have been jailed for less who will think this sentence is not in step with general sentencing.
