He raped 100 women, was jailed for life in 2009 and is about to be released on parole

[Unfinishedkitchen]

AIBU to believe raping 100 women is worth more than nine years in jail?

So assuming the decision is put aside because it is unlawful(?), wrong(?), outside guidelines(?) to not contact all victims then would it go back to the same board or a different one

I believe it goes to a different board but don't quote me on that one.

But isn't that a long process and couldn't he argue that it doesn't meet the criteria for recharging him because of double jeopardy

The CPS normally makes charging decisions fairly quickly - around 9 days after the police refer the case on average. However, it could take significantly longer to get them to re-examine their decisions.

Double jeopardy does not apply in this case. He cannot be retried for any offence for which he has already been tried and acquitted unless there is compelling new evidence. However, charges that were dropped before trial can be reinstated and he can also be charged with offences that didn't get as far as charging previously.

Sorry for any double posts. My PC is misbehaving.

would it help if everyone emails their MP

It can't do any harm. It won't produce a direct result - there is no mechanism by which politicians can overrule the parole board. But a concerted campaign would help keep it in the public eye.

Thanks prh . Really can’t understand the thinking behind releasing him . Someone with his record just doesn’t miraculously lose the urge to carry out these offences Sure he will definitely reoffend
It’s absolutely awful

Thanks Prh - you have been really helpful.

Dreadful. I have no words. How the hell he persuaded the parole board he poses no risk is beyond me....

Would not like to be on the MAPPA team for managing him (multi agency public protection....forgot what the last A stands for). Let's just hope those responsible for risk managing him post release are up to the job.....

This is what happens when a criminal justice system is hijacked by politically correct do-gooders who treat violent criminals as 'victims of society'.

Warboyes has presumably completed some sort of 'rehabilitation' program in which he has told the authorities whatever PC bullshit they wanted to hear, they have swallowed it and decided he is safe to release. He isn't and he never will be.

The only rehabilitation program scumbags like Warboyes understand involves a gallows and a rope. Let's hope some of his victims know the right people and he can be 'dealt with' when he is released.

Can we have a MN campaign to get this sick fuck kept in jail?

Thats an excellent idea, Khalli. Although .
I don't think all the champaigning in the world will make an iota of difference. For some reason they're determined to let this beast out. To paraphrase pp " He'll tell the powers that be exactly what they want to hear".
I wonder whose head will roll whenhe does it again.

I would support a campaign that asked the authorities to prosecute him for the outstanding charges, to support his (currently legally alleged) victims during the new court process, etc.

But I couldn't support a campaign to bypass the legal system and just lock someone up, even if he is a dangerous serial rapist.

No one's head will roll. There will be vague talk of systemic failures and implementing a culture change etc but they will all keep their jobs/pensions etc or just be moved on to something else.

Someone upthread said he will be given a new identity

Women are always told that we have to protect ourselves but how can we do so when the person who is widely regarded as the most prolific rapist in the UK in modern history is released and women aren't allowed to know where he is or what he's called?

He can’t change his face thigh can he - very distinctive.

I’m not sure what I think about the whole new identity thing for such offences. I know if he is let out it is because the law believes him to have served his time but still... the whole job venables trial makes me uneasy that he has gone on to be charged with another child pornography offence and will be tried under his ‘new’ name.

They didn't used to warn women if they got involved with convicted predators, or women with kids if paedophiles started relationships with them, because they'd "served their time".

The laws were all written by men over centuries and focussing on property crime, it's no wonder they are woefully inadequate when it comes to these types of crimes & women / children. Women and children used to be property, not so long ago in the scheme of things.

If we can find out where he lives, perhaps contact the local council taxi licencing department and tell them. He should not be allowed to have a taxi licence. That is how he gets his victims.
And if he does not have a licence, that is not allowed, so we can contact the local council again. The local district council, not a county council.

I think he's already banned from even trying to get a licence so could only do so under false credentials which obviously we wouldn't know.

There is only one way to prevent him doing this. Only one way.

@Wauden are you going to actually share what then?

He won't be given a new identity. He will almost certainly change his name though, but that will have to be done through official channels so he shouldn't be able to get a cab licence. He is banned from operating a passenger vehicle for payment.

Yes! I agree women do not matter. I tried to report loads of men, they said an officer who said boys. Just seen an article in Guardian that said Freemasons in polIce force do not want to advance women or men. Also hate you for diff things I get it a lot.

Completely agree.

If he’d raped 100 men he wouldn’t be getting out.

What is the % of women on parole boards?

Yep bloody awful but no surprise. I tried to report bloody awful experience. The victims were not listened to as it was a cab driver. Same attItude now. Also Police & Theresa May tried to overturn their case. Saw Guardian article Freemasons in police do not want to advance women & ethnic minorities.

If he’d raped 100 men he wouldn’t be getting out.

He wasn't convicted of 100 rapes.

Why the other cases weren't prosecuted is for the police and head of DPP at the time to answer.

@Anyhope which article.
