Huh, maybe he should've considered that before destroying a child's life...
As an Englishman that's lived here for decades........no scratch that. As a decent human being that's been on the planet for decades, I really don't know, just keep him in solitary for the rest of his days, chop off two or three dangly things, drop him in Sydney Harbour covered in tuna oil, drop him in the middle of the Simpson desert with only a bottle of antifreeze to drink. I can think of many other things than just sending him back to the UK.
That just shifts the problem like sending a pervert priest to another church. However, he doesn't deserve to live in this beautiful country simply because he " has connections here". Yeah we've seen what he does to certain "connections".
Maybe this exposure will grant him a certain amount of publicity that will ruin his life if it's not already ruined enough. What a piece of filth. Sick bastard.
I see your point and I agree, but I'd just chuck him in prison for at least a few decades (not just 14 months... in what universe is that just?).
Preferably with some kind of therapy to go along with it; no idea if that would even help but it's worth a try, eh?
14 months is too short by far but the reason for relatively short sentences for these offenders in theory is so they don't kill their victims.
I'd be down for permanently locking them up and putting suppression orders on the media. Ensures they'll never hurt anyone and reduces the chance of other pedos finding out and offing their victims.
14 months is ridiculous. I mean sending him back would be a decent punishment. I've been here for 32 years and there's no way I feel I could survive back over there. It's not hell on earth but there are so many things that would disturb my well being.
He would get some more publicity upon his arrival too. Anyway, let's hope Karma prevails.
