Horrifying, sometimes when you read the article you realise the situation is more nuanced than headline. In this case it’s just worse

It is horrifying

The court was reminded that White had served four years of a nine-year sentence for raping a teenager in 2008. According to press reports White dragged the 19-year-old into a garden, threatened to kill her and raped her twice. He was identified through his DNA two years after the attack and convicted in 2011. He denied the offence at the time and continued to deny it during the family proceedings.

Just four years! I thought if you refused to admit your guilt you were unlikely to get parole? So he must have 'lied' to the parole board, said what he needed to say to get out. Then did an about turn for the family court and they were okay with this?

That mum's a warrior. It must have been so hard but she fought for her child.

Re the 4 years. It's probably a determinate sentence where you serve half in half out. No Parole Board involved. Sorry I haven't read about it in any detail, just that this is how those types of sentence work.
