How can the thug who threw acid in Katie Piper's face be released

If a man can attempt to kill or seriously disfigure a woman for money, how can he be considered not to be a risk to women 10 years later?

Katie Piper suffered terrible physical and psychological trauma that will last a lifetime. It could have been even worse.

According to the Mail "Sylvestre's release was recommended by the Parole Board despite the Justice Secretary's representatives advising the panel to move him to an open prison"

She must be petrified. I feel sick for her.

Yes, she's said she is scared. He isn't allowed in an exclusion zone near her home and the BBC has increased security. It's so wrong that she's going to have a lifetime of looking over her shoulder.

Woman in general aren't safe with him out.

That in itself, shows they aren’t sure that he has been rehabilitated.

She’s done such a beautiful job of building a life for herself. Exactly the opposite of what I’m sure that bastard intended.

terrifying
I hate this "he was only 19" thing as well.

he knew exactly what he was doing.

It’s horrific, it’s sickening that Katie, the innocent victim of a crime that could well have killed her, will have a lifetime of worry, stress and fear because this evil dick is being released. She has had countless surgeries, pain and suffering due to this attack and she suffers even more now because of this. It makes me so angry a dangerous person like this can be released.

He shouldn't ever be out.

He isn't allowed In an exclusion zone near her home.

The evil bastard wasn't allowed tto go chucking acid around. It didn't stop thought did it

Terrifying. I agree totally with Aww. If he was a law abiding person he would never have done this. As if an exclusion zone would stop a person capable of this.

If I remember correctly he is also a rapist. Horrible for her that he is out, I really feel for her.

It is strange that someone who got a life sentence is out in six years. I can't imagine what Katie is going through this week tbh.

No idea. I despair of our judicial system I really do..

It's just awful that he's out so soon. I love Katie, I think she's incredible and I can't imagine how she must be feeling. I'm so glad that she has access to security, but it's still just awful.
