3 years 4 months... Venables.

WTAF?! If you have any sympathy for this vile piece of shit, I pity you!

3 years & 4 months for a second offence ... WOW JUST WOW! He should be locked away for LIFE!

When will they accept he is completely beyond reproach and will always be a danger to the public.... especially children!

||www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-42972085 venables||

"He admitted charges of making indecent images of children and one of having a "sickening" paedophile manual."

"He admitted having 392 category A images - deemed the most severe - 148 category B and 630 category C pictures"

"The court heard when Venables' computer was seized in November images were found of children, mainly aged between six and 13, although some were younger.
Mr Justice Edis said some of the images found were of babies."

"Given your history, it is significant that a number of the images and films were of serious crimes inflicted on male toddlers," he said."

What can be done to protest this?

It’s his 4th offence, murder of James, affray, this is the 2nd time he has gone to prison for downloading pictures of child abuse and in between he broke his parol conditions by going online when he wasn’t allowed to.

It’s not exactly a shining example of British Justice Hmm

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/02/2018 18:58

He'll go through life like that. Getting locked up serving half his sentence getting back out being given a new identity paid for Tax payers and re offending.
They be running out of names for the cunt soon

NewYearNewMe18 · 07/02/2018 18:58

Quite right spiteful .

The parole board will make an assessment... we see where the parole board places sexual predators... John worboys.

I was asking from two perspectives... increasing his sentence and changing the punishment handed out to sexual and child sex predators. What can be done?

And judges have guidelines to go by and he has very clearly used that to the full extent of the law and what was within his powers to do.

But he was convicted in 2010... should have been released in 2012 (2yr sentence) but was held because of the license so released in 2013...

What was it in 2013 that convinced them he was safe?

What is stopping him putting in the very same act in front of the parole board... and since we will never know why the parole board makes their decisions, who can we trust really?

I agree with Newyearnewme that he's now institutionalised. He committed that god awful crime at such a young age that he now has absolutely no idea how to behave. How can he know? He will never be rehabilitated, that's just not possible and will always be in and out of prison for the rest of his life a total waste of space and tax payers money.
The whole thing is very disturbing.

feral · 07/02/2018 19:03

I'd also like to know what happened to him in his early life.

Seems he was the ringleader with James. Do we ever hear about Robert Thompson?

Sickening all of it just so sad for James’ family every time this sicko’s name is mentioned but rip them apart. He is compelled to do sick, disgusting acts he needs to go to a secure unit indefinitely imo

Curious0yster · 07/02/2018 19:09

I don't know whether he is unwell or not - as far as I know it's never been publicised. He doesn't necessarily sound as if he's 'not sane', he just might be very very bad.

It's not great for helping combat the stigma of mental illness when the worst punishment people can think of for someone is a secure psychiatric unit.

SweetMoon · 07/02/2018 19:10

He needs locking up and a key thrown away. He is a totally dick in the head individual. Exactly what is the purposeof keeping this piece of shit alive? No one and I mean no one benefits from him being alive. Disgusting evil sick bastard.

southboundagain · 07/02/2018 19:11

To clarify "making" in case anyone else was confused by it, I believe that in other cases that has meant things like making copies and sharing online, not necessarily actually producing it in the first place (as they said later on something about the manual which made it sound like he hadn't had contact with children that they knew of). Obviously it's still an awful crime, of course, just a different one to what I initially assumed.

Lillyvanilla · 07/02/2018 19:11

I find you just as disgusting as I do Venables

What a sick disgusting comment. People on here are quite rightly enraged that this sick bastard has done so much evil.
Please don't put decent people in the same 'disgusting' category as Venables

Klobuchar · 07/02/2018 19:12

It’s a highly emotive subject, I get that. But have you read the judge’s full comments? He’s unlikely ever to get out of prison, according to those.

shakeyourcaboose · 07/02/2018 19:15

gilead you honestly believe that people expressing anger and disgust and upset are as bad as a child murderer who has also committed sexual assault, and later made child sexual abuse images?

petbear · 07/02/2018 19:15

@gilead

Unfucking believable! And no I don't mean Venables, I mean some of the braying mob on this thread. I find you just as disgusting as I do Venables.

What a vile and disgusting and disturbing comment.

Reported.

Aeroflotgirl · 07/02/2018 19:17

Gilead people are entitled to their view, Venables is a thoroughly nadty human being. Of course people are upset and angry, he helped kill a little toddler, and does not show any remorse as an adult, in fact he has just continued where he left off. Save your sympathy for James and his parents!

Jassmells · 07/02/2018 19:18

Seems to be the week for it...

Have you seen this?

http://www.stourbridgenews.co.uk/news/15922756.RyanPasseyymurdertrialKobeeMurrayfounddnotguilty/

Read this version not the BBC one it's far more accurate.

So this guy has admitted taking a knife to a club admitted lashing out, admitted to his parents he did it, admitted buried the weapon and somehow he is NOT guilty?! He didn't even get manslaughter.

I despair.

thomassmuggit · 07/02/2018 19:18

He has never been in a psychiatric unit, as far as I know, or diagnosed with a mental illness, so a psychiatric facility would be totally inappropriate.

It's possible for someone to be sadistic shit without being mentally ill. Secure psychiatric units are not for the sane, but bad. I am sure he has had many assessments, and if he were mad, he'd be in Rampton/Ashworth. But afawk, he's not.

Secure psychiatric units are hospitals, they're not dumping grounds for nasty people.

BonnieF · 07/02/2018 19:21

This is what happens when a criminal justice system is completely hijacked by naive, politically correct do-gooders who see violent murderers and paedophiles as ‘victims’ and blame ‘society’ for their crimes.

Venables will be released, and he will kill again. The do-gooders who refuse to lock him up for the rest of his life will be to blame.

x2boys · 07/02/2018 19:23

As a student mental health nurse i had a placement in a medium secure mental health unit , every door had to be locked. As you went through it and unlocked etc but it depends on his diagnosis if he's not mentally ill or has a severe personality disorder than prison it is .
