bar on schoolgirl

What is the point of banning the so called victim of this crime from visiting someone in prison that she had a very close friendship with. I imagine that she is already hurting enough already by all the publicity and the court case. Although the court case was rightly not allowed to mention her name, the story was all over the tabloids last year so the damage was already done.

This decision not only ruins one life, but also the life of the victim too, who doesn't believe that she is a victim. Isn't it abuse to tell a 16 year old that she doesn't know her own mind, and she can't choose who to love or have a relationship with. It sounds very controlling to me.

Forrest was irresponsible to flee with the girl, but his sentence is excessive in my view. If he had beaten her with a baseball bat and permanently injured her, he would have got a lesser sentence.
British law seems to be ruled by tabloid hysteria.

correct.

He may have broken the law but the punishment (to her as well) is unjust, immoral and barbaric.

And I see one of his fierce critics MWT has now been searching out illicit porn and pedos on Facebook.

That's twice now : Twitter & Facebook- seeking out illegal images which is a crime yet he roams free. As does the Daily Mail hackette who announced she was actively seeking and viewing child porn on the net for "research".

It doesn't make sense from whichever way you look at it. The girl is sixteen and not a criminal so how can they justify the ban? I would imagine it will make her more determined to wait for him.
If she is allowed to see him freely in jail in what is presumably a "safe" environment she is likely to decide for herself that a man who said that if his wife walked in on them she would "just have to deal with it" is not great catch, but the decision should be hers.

This must be what they mean by 'giving victims a voice'?

What a vile cuntry this has become.

Wize humans, not backward bozos, give a monkeys about VICTIMS of individual, collective, or especially of state abuse!
