To be absolutely sick of excuses being made for men's disgusting sexual behaviour? Trigfer warning. Hugh Edwards sentencing.

You’re free to start your own thread about women offenders and how women are just as bad. Funny how no one ever does this, they just think it’s appropriate to muscle in on the ones talking about how men as a sex class are fucking horrific with this shit whataboutery.

Because it's absolutely our job to fix problematic male behaviour! 🤦🏻‍♀️

You don't get to police threads

An increase in females being prosecuted for sex offences is worrying and should be spoken about too. Are they aiding and abetting the men as 'causing or allowing' is an offence too

Increased investigations of these crimes against children mean all involved being prosecuted.

He and his highly paid barrister had had weeks to dream up excuses.
Listening to the Jeremy Vine show today it seems the majority of paedophiles making images, selling images etc get suspended sentences. So why would it ever stop?
No one stands up for these kids whose lives are ruined by this abuse. The cruelty they go through, how their mental health must be destroyed is never mentioned.

I really wish all sex offenders could hang.

As I said several posts ago, those that want to stop will. Those that don’t, won’t.

i wasn't talking about Edwards who i have already said should have been seeing the inside of a cell for at least a month.

I've never seen it described in that detail before, details were a bit vague some months ago when they said Huw replied 'nothing illegal' to the sender of the photos.
The current, more detailed info the OP gave is alot more revealing because, in all honesty I didn't think his offence was very serious. It obviously is though now.

don't be daft. nicking a pack of nappies because your UC is late is often a one-off thing.

Crack on, I can’t wait to hear about your efforts 🙂

"But i don't necessarily want to see people jailed for non-violent one-off crimes."

He was texting and receiving indecent images of children being sexually abused from a convicted paedophile for a number of years. He also spent a number of years coercing a teenager into sharing sexual images of himself.

In what sense is that either "one-off" or "non-violent"?

I haven’t once defended him.

Oh god not all men, that old chestnut! No I will have no respect for men that have no bearing on my own life, you can't prove that your dh&ds's are angels, respect my fat arse!

@ClaudiaWinklepanda its tricky. Sometime the two conflate, sometimes they don’t. I personally think the increasing societal permissiveness about kinks is encouraging some of the worst people to hijack the agenda and openly advocate for child sexual abuse.

This is worth reading. What a brave man. Offensively to women and men like him (and the man I know) to suggest childhood trauma is ever an excuse for an adult to abuse children.

Mitigating circumstances are relevant for some crimes but not child abuse. Many women and men were abused as children and do not become child abusers when they're adults.

Ridiculous

How would you know it's a 'one off crime'??

QUITE

Yes. Apparently he hasn’t even paid back the BBC wages they ‘asked’ him to.

This isn't the thread for NAMALT.

Its a man world and the vile pigs can do what they like.

Also, the women screaming "women do it too!" please, go away/

No one gives a shit about your husband or sons, ffs. We're talking about stats and the fact that over 90% of sexual violence is committed by males.

He already wasn’t ‘allowed’ to wank over pictures of 7 year olds being abused, didn’t stop him though, did it?

Yes, how dare women discuss things with other women? You're so right - I'm off to conjure up some spare time to overhaul the British legal system.

Absolute mental scum. Upbringing my arse. Sleazy cunt

Men? Please don't speak for my dh and ds(s), this piece of shit is from the shit BBC woke culture, nothing to do with 'men'. Have some respect for those with sons and normal husbands and those who do not hate men en masse.

I was just thinking of making a post about men.

I think this place is the worst for seeing the horrid side of men.

I want the women of Mumsnet to stop letting men treat them as doormats, to see that controlling finances, not sharing finances, changing for men, putting up with their criticism, needing to ask if they are being unfair about their husband's when they should know you should never have to ask if this behaviour is OK! Are people really that lonely and insecure that they cannot stand on their own two feet and would rather just put up with the abuse of men??

It's like this hidden world of gradually increasing men with inferiority problems, narcissistic gaslighters, paedophiles, rapists, abusive men! And they all get away with it because someone has an excuse/justification for it. I feel sorry for their children whom will grow up thinking it's normal. They do not stand a chance.
