Five years, eligible for parole in 2. I don't often scoff at the legal system, I want to have full trust in it, but she trapped this person for nearly ten years and it will take so many more for them to get past what happened. That's an absolute joke.

That's shocking. I'd have thought the CSAM charges alone would attract that penalty. I normally tend to err on the side of supporting shorter sentences, but just thinking about the number of different charges that would have been applicable here it's hard to see how this is right.

It said the other charges were dropped with the guilty plea.
