How? How??

If anyone knows how I can donate to the mum's bid to challenge his sentence in the High Court please tell me.

The paedophile, who was found guilty of raping a child under 13 at Worcester Crown Court on October 1, was sentenced to a three-year community order and 35 days' rehabilitation requirement.

He was also fined £200 and ordered to pay £2,500 to the victim as well as being put on the Sexual Offenders' Register for five years.

Whaaaaaaaaattttttt?

I don't understand this? What is the justification for such a lenient sentence?

What possible circumstances could justify this sentence. Will the court transcripts be available. Who the hell was the judge.

Thank you for the attorney general links - I will definitely be writing.

Btw hard copy letters tend to be taken more seriously than just emails in most cases so I'll be sending it by post as well as PDF letter.

Between this and Natalie Connolly I just want to scream.

Email for Attorney General's office:

Has to be done within 30 days of sentencing (which was 1st October).

How the hell is this possible??

Rape is effectively decriminalised with the appallingly low conviction figures - and when they are convicted - plus being a paedo - they get to walk free???!!!

JFC. I really want to scream.

That poor child and family.

I think it's possible to write directly to the Attorney General's office to get an unduly lenient sentence reviewed:

You don't have to be directly involved in the case to do this. This should be a clear cut case for a review, I would have thought.

LumpySpacedPrincess · 15/10/2020 17:00

How can this be? I have no words.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 15/10/2020 17:00

I can't think of any reason this could be acceptable. Poor little girl.

Smurftastic · 15/10/2020 17:00

Should be at least 10 years in prison and chemically castrated. 5 year old! What a monster! Angry

BaronessWrongCrowd · 15/10/2020 16:59

This made me cry. The poor girl and her mum. I cannot understand why the hell they didn't lock this bastard up. He's a danger to children.

Caroncanta · 15/10/2020 16:58

No way. So hardly any punishment for raping a child then. Is that suddenly acceptable these days?
