Man who brutally attacked his partner is being released and she is told to stop campaigning to keep him inside

[Ereshkigalangcleg]

I remember this 2011 case when it happened, and was shocked by the brutality. He blinded her in a vicious attack.

She wasn't told that his release had been approved until the deadline had passed for her to object.

She claims probation officers guilt tripped her over her campaign to keep him inside.

Tina has also set up a petition against his release which has already been signed by more than 11,000 people.
But instead of applauding her efforts to raise awareness, Tina claims probation chiefs 'told her off' for speaking out about her case with one asking her 'don't you feel sorry for him, putting this on his head?'
She said: 'When they said that to me I felt confused - I have every right to speak out and I don't want this to be brushed under the carpet. I don't want this to happen to anybody else.'
The Probation Service is currently investigating Tina's complaint about the comment and the staff member involved is understood to deny using those words. Tina has since decided to sever contact with the Probation Service.

I bet one of the first things he does on release is sign up to Tinder, it makes your blood run cold. I've signed & donated, thanks OP

You are correct to say that. My MP won't deal with standard campaign emails. He wants to know the impact to/on his constituent.

Good on the DM for making sure his mug shot is everywhere

This sounds a lot like the Worboys case. Astonishingly, despite raping potentially hundreds of women, the parole board said he was suitable to be released because he had found religion and was accepting guilt for his crimes after six years of denying it. This was despite a pscyh report which said he was a devious manipulator, and despite comments where he said the women were 'happy drunks' who were 'up for it'. This decision was only overturned on judicial review, and the court found that the parole board took everything Worboys said at face value and didn't question his account. It's astonishing to me that the parole board can ever seriously consider letting these kinds of men out.

And we will hear the inevitable Lessons will be learnt crap and know that they never will be.

Those who approved his release will never be held accountable nor even take responsibility which they damn well should.

Haven't re-read the details, as I remember it all too horribly from the reporting at the time.

Yes I think quite a few people here do, it's not easily forgotten.

Yes, absolutely.

I think it might be ignored if you just send this to Shabana Mahmood. I think you're supposed to write to your constituency MP and ask them to raise it with the relevant minister.

If a lot of MPs get emails about it there's a good chance that at least one of them will follow up.

This is what Shabana Mahmood says on her website about contacting her:
I maintain an office to serve my constituents as the Member of Parliament for Birmingham Ladywood. My constituency team do not deal with enquiries relating to my role as Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice. Visit the Ministry of Justice website for contact details.

Of course, you can still tweet her, Harriet Harman or anyone else about this as well.

Email autorespond from Shabhana to say that mail gets forwarded to DoJ.

Cross post, OldCrone. I'm not sure an email to SM will do much.

Unfortunately my fucking useless MP will do fuck all about anything, ever, and appears to have blacklisted me as an inconvenient botherer.

Still, I'll email him and ask to raise it. If nothing else it might irritate the bugger a little, and that's better than nothing.

The email you have to click to validate your petition signature took more than an hour to come through to me.

Might have been just my email having problems, but if anyone else is hasn't been able to validate immediately it's worth continuing to check.

That is the grim pattern that we keep seeing.

Lessons are never learnt.

I think we need the names and photographs of all the people involved in the decision to free this insanely dangerous man.

They must each be held personally responsible. Including having to pay at least a million quid out of their own assets in insufficient compensation to her two sons.

Perhaps then our politicians and parole boards will be personally motivated to do the work our taxes pay them to do?

Failing that we are going to have to look into vigilante justice. Somehow arranging for these monsters to be permanently stopped if they ever make the mistake of approaching their victims again.

Thanks for this, have signed and donated.

I don't generally think vigilante justice is a good thing, but if the justice system continues to fail women so egregiously, so frequently, and so predictably, then I will be wholly unsurprised if it doesn't increase in prevalence.

Have you considered going to one or more of his surgeries?

Are parole boards exclusively staffed with gullible idiots?

Actually don't answer that, I suspect the answer is too terrifying to contemplate.

I've just signed the petition. Outrageous that he's being released

Thank you @Ereshkigalangcleg and @Pickupapen

I have written to my MP and donated some money to Tina.

I don't think he does them, but in all honesty, there is no point. He's set to broadcast only, not receive. Likes a photoshoot but glazes over at any attempt at engagement.

Anyway, sorry, I don't want to derail the thread.

I hope the decision is reviewed.

Poor woman. Petition signed.

Absolutely horrific. Donated and signed the petition.

Donating . . . and bumping for the evening crowd. This needs to be shared/seen. That poor woman and her boys . . .

I know and I agree, but the reality is what it is. She shouldn't have to, but for her own sake she might have to. It's completely unjust.

Bump.
