The judge will follow the sentencing guidelines.

I hope he gets the maximum sentence. People who look at pictures of innocent children being abused are sick and should be punished. Imagine if that was your child.

I voted YABU but not according to the criteria you set out. @JoyousPinkPeer

i agree though there is a debate here.

The problem with the UK is that we love inquiries and public shaming, rather than dealing with things as they happen or according to the facts.

I think H.E will be used as the example to “make up” for the institutional failings with Savile and others.

whether this is commensurate with what he did and what he received, isn’t going to be the issue. It’s going to be all about closure from the narrative of Savile and the institutionally rotten public organisations.

The UK worries me in this regard. Lots of baying and shaming, but little in the way of actual reform.
