Sorry, this quote is from the s un, i know , I know, but it's just what I came across quickly. There's this issue too. Whether the sun is reliable I don't know. Well, I do know it's usually not, but they might be right about this.:
"Angel’s family said they are outraged that Bowskill got just two years for the kidnap — even though the offence carries a maximum sentence of life.
They said they planned to call for a review of the kidnap sentence, saying it was “unduly lenient”.
And they added they were surprised by the sentence when the judge seemed to recognise the serious consequences of the abduction.
Although it can carry a life term, kidnapping currently has no sentencing guidelines, which the family think worked in Bowskill’s favour."
"Farah Nazeer, chief executive of Women's Aid, said: “The fact that the perpetrator could be out so soon shows that we urgently need domestic abuse training for all judges.
“This sends out a dangerous message about how seriously we take violence against women in this country — judges need to send a clear message that domestic abuse will not be tolerated.""
"In his sentencing remarks, Judge Timothy Spencer QC told Bowskill at Leicester crown court: “You treated her in a vile way.
"She was belittled by you to a point where she must have felt worthless on a regular basis.”
But Judge Spencer said he had also taken into account his youth and immaturity when sentencing.
He said he agreed with Bowskill’s own barrister’s description of him as a “little boy in man’s shoes”."
Sorry again for the sun, but wtf... is this correct? : "THE judge blasted over the jail term given to Angel’s kidnapper has a history of bizarre sentencing.In August last year, judge Timothy Spencer QC freed a Far Right terrorist with the instructions: “Go and read the classics.”He was slammed by charity Hope Not Hate after instructing white supremacist Ben John, 22, who was found with bomb manuals, to read Jane Eyre and others.The judge told him: “Start with Pride And Prejudice and Dickens’ A Tale Of Two Cities. Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night”. He added: “Think about Hardy. Think about Trollope.”Earlier this month, the appeal court ruled extremist John must serve two years in prison."
"Chief executive of Women's Aid, Farah Nazeer, said: "This a devastating outcome for the family of Angel Lynn.
"The actions of the men involved show the entitlement they felt over Angel, who is seen being physically carried away in the video as they kidnap her.
"She was carried away as if she was a possession, which indicates their attitudes towards women.
"The court heard of a history of domestic abuse, and it is vital that this isn't minimised. Abusers frequently will try to manipulate and control what family and friends think.
"Time after time, we only have the abuser's version of events, but we do know the most dangerous time for a woman is when she tries to leave an abusive partner.
"This is statistically when most domestic homicides happen, with three women being killed by a current or former partner every fortnight in the UK.
"Since coercive control became illegal in England and Wales at the end of 2015, we have campaigned for greater awareness of the crime.
"However, sentences needs to reflect the severity of the crime for this law to be effective.
"Judges need to send a clear and consistent message that domestic abuse and misogyny will not be tolerated.""
