24 hours in police custody.

[Toddlerteaplease]

As one officer said, "it's a juicy one"

The voice is completely different to the girl being interviewed.

I think they're supposed to be different people

Wow, listening to this 😮

His demeanour in the interview!

It's two different girls. I think one has been pixelated etc to protect her identity.
The second male officer was irritating in the interview.

Yes 2 different girls

I wanted to reach out and slap
Him.

I think the high pitched girl is his 'mrs' his gf.

Yes that's right because early on she was saying 'he never did this to me'
She never imagined he would do it because he wasn't like that to her referring to the violence

This is so hard to watch and triggering. Poured a gin.

He did plead guilty

The only reason he pled guilty was in the hope of getting a lighter sentence
At least the girls didn't have to go to court

We have two ex-police men that come and talk about online safety in schools around the SE. They make it clear pedophiles/predators tend not to be older men but 20 year olds grooming girls online or in public areas. Very scary.

it is really scary isn't it

It was a tough watch tonight.

He was so prolific - what was it, 22 girls in the space of two to three weeks he’d accumulated and was chatting to? Thousands of sexual images including him having sex with a variety of young women and girls. Just sickening.

I think he preyed on the mothers too, if not sexually he certainly tried to charm them too.

I’m glad he got the sentence he did - he is a very dangerous man.

I am interested to look at the sentencing guidelines on this as a friend of mine was killed in an accident by a man convicted of dangerous driving. Her two young children were also in the car, thankfully physically unharmed. And he did not receive a custodial sentence. Her family were devastated. But from what you say about a lesser crime, a non-custodial sentence would be light even for injury, so I cannot see how on earth my friend’s killer escaped prison.

I think it said at the end that they'd disguised the voices and faces of the victims somehow. It seemed a bit strange.

It's frightening how successful he was picking up vulnerable, impressionable girls and his relentless approach of charm followed by force. Thank God he's off the streets.

Adam White was on this morning today, just watching but him being on implies sympathy.

Spot on, dangerous driving offences rarely carry custodial sentences, especially given his extenuating circumstance.

To those saying he might have killed someone, so might the theives, stolen vehicles are for more likely to be involved in fatal incidences, why weren't the thieves sentenced based on that?

He was sentenced for taking the law into his own hands, a crime he wasn't charged with since it doesn't exist. The law belonge to all of us.

They went from an arrest with intent for GBH to driving charges, as the CPS realized he would be cleared of the first charge.

One of the theives didn't wear a helmet, I suspect as he knew the police will not pursue helmet less motorcycle riders.

Adam White is a hero to me.

Hero? Behave

Adam While was charged with ‘causing serious injury by dangerous driving’, which carries a greater tariff than dangerous driving.

@Finallybreathingout I am sorry to hear about your dear friend. it must be frustrating & very upsetting that the driver did face fair punishment.

@Nolongera I see your point, But the fact is that Adam White’s car did hit the motorcycle & changed the path it was on to crash causing the severe injuries to the driver & passenger. The documentary shows the road traffic expert going through the evidence of the crash. Yes the driver of the motorcycle might have hit someone causing severe injury or death, but he didn’t so there is no crime.

Just off to watch this week’s episode.

This week's was tough viewing. Important to show that it's not always "dirty, old men in online chat rooms" though.

I kind of understand why they do this, but it's always so difficult to see the police being chummy with the accused :(

I hate all the 'all right mate, how are you' at the check in desk.

They just don't need to do that.

Yes, and I don’t know why they don’t say “I’m not your mate. You call me PC…”

Even as a teacher, dealing with teens in trouble I’d say the equivalent. In fact, as a teacher I was struck by how we got more respect from students than visiting PCs and PCSO. I don’t think teens want more “mates”. They want adults with boundaries.

I would like to see the police in plain clothes wearing something more smart. Something that commands a bit more respect and knock off all the mating. Agree on the boundaries.
