I remember this 2011 case when it happened, and was shocked by the brutality. He blinded her in a vicious attack.

She wasn't told that his release had been approved until the deadline had passed for her to object.

She claims probation officers guilt tripped her over her campaign to keep him inside.

Tina has also set up a petition against his release which has already been signed by more than 11,000 people.
But instead of applauding her efforts to raise awareness, Tina claims probation chiefs 'told her off' for speaking out about her case with one asking her 'don't you feel sorry for him, putting this on his head?'
She said: 'When they said that to me I felt confused - I have every right to speak out and I don't want this to be brushed under the carpet. I don't want this to happen to anybody else.'
The Probation Service is currently investigating Tina's complaint about the comment and the staff member involved is understood to deny using those words. Tina has since decided to sever contact with the Probation Service.

Poor woman. Feel sorry for the man who blinded her? In what alternative universe is that a thing one might feel? If the Probabtion Service is coming out with this sort of misogynist crap they need investigating, not just the officer who apparently said it!

Somehow I've only just heard about this case. I know we all see a lot of Go Fund Me requests but if anyone deserves support it's this lady. Bumping to hopefully encourage people to donate.

Yes - let’s keep bumping this to try and give this brave woman the support she needs ❤️

Anyone understand how/why Judge Christopher Harvey Clark QC set the minimum term at six years? Seems incomprehensible to me, and allowed the multiple parole bids at this early stage.

Surely if Mahmood is trying to stop this man being released, Tina's abuser should also? Given he's said he will seek her out ffs

Morning bump.

NotAScoobyDoo2 · 11/03/2025 23:52

It's awful but it doesn't surprise me. We have a real problem in this country with keeping predators in prison. He should have been given a tougher sentence.

The GFM is moving very slowly, which I find so sad. Seems that DM readers aren't digging deeply in their pockets. I would have thought that it might take off after high profile publicity like that.

I follow so many feminist on X and yet only one person is posting about this case. Heartbreaking.

My MP is new, so I'm going to be optimistic and write to her.

I hope you get some joy with her, at least with a woman, you'd expect her to understand.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 11/03/2025 10:07

parole board hand waved away the threat he is to her

And also to other women he gets into a relationship with or he perceives to have slighted him, especially, and men. Anyone unlucky enough to have dealings with him. He's a violent thug who has also been violent inside. It really is unbelievable as you say.

This is such an unbelievable story it's hard to believe it's true (I know it is). To think that the parole board hand waved away the threat he is to her and he'll be out with no limits on where he can go is awful.

It must be a terrifying prospect for Tina to know that her attacker will soon be released. But why should she have to move away and change her identity? She currently has a vital support network for her and her family and is living in her familiar surroundings. It should be the perpetrator who should be restrained from going anywhere near her area. He wouldn't see the light of day if it was my decision. This was more than GBH and why he was not convicted of attempted murder I do not know.

I know and I agree, but the reality is what it is. She shouldn't have to, but for her own sake she might have to. It's completely unjust.

Donating . . . and bumping for the evening crowd. This needs to be shared/seen. That poor woman and her boys . . .

DialSquare · 10/03/2025 13:52

Absolutely horrific. Donated and signed the petition.

RanchRat · 10/03/2025 13:33

Poor woman. Petition signed.

ArabellaScott · 10/03/2025 13:03

Anyway, sorry, I don't want to derail the thread.

I hope the decision is reviewed.

Have you considered going to one or more of his surgeries?

I don't think he does them, but in all honesty, there is no point. He's set to broadcast only, not receive. Likes a photoshoot but glazes over at any attempt at engagement.

CanOfMangoTango · 10/03/2025 12:56

Thank you @Ereshkigalangcleg and @Pickupapen

I have written to my MP and donated some money to Tina.
