was awaiting trial for the following:

"Mr Bigby was one of 10 defendants charged with the rape of a 16-year-old girl and causing grievous bodily harm, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has confirmed.

The teenage girl was attacked in north London in January.

In a separate case, he was due to go on trial in June for wounding with intent and violent disorder, over a stabbing in October 2006 in north London, the CPS said."

I remember the story about the rape and it really upset me at the time, as it was such a horrendous attack where they also threw acid over the girl.

I am very surprised to say the least that this man wasn't being held in custody while he waited for his trials, as to me he sounds dangerous, particularly to women. I know he was innocent until proven guilty but still I thought for serious crimes people were held on remand?

Does anyone else share this view/ know why someone like this is out on the streets? I feel a lot less safe now than I did this morning...

The other thread seems more to do with whether it was "justice" that he was stabbed, which in my opinion it obviously wasn't as he was never tried and convicted of anything.

My concern is far more about at what point a crime is considered serious enough for people to be removed from circulation while they await trial. I am truly horrified that this man was out and about, although obviously I don't have all the details of the case. Maybe he was only periphally invloved or something. But still.

Will go and bend DH's ear some more I think!!
