This man has a string of victims, so he can't even claim the usual tripe about a 'moment of madness' or whatever. So why does he get a suspended sentence? Why is the legal system so reluctant to punish sex offences?

I just find myself getting angrier with each passing day. Angry

I see from the BBC news report he recorded women included recording women going to the toilet. Anyone know where and how he recorded the women going to the toilet?

Its because they are far less likely to reoffend than violent offenders are.
I can't believe I have to ask this, but can I just check that this is definitely sarcasm?

Yes I saw that earlier what utter shite.

I liked the way they put the contact offences as a bit of a footnote as well.
