QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Mar 25 2010, 10:05 AM) http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article...articleID=12816What do you actually need to do to get prosecuted these days? It seems to be that unless you commit an act of genocide (or don't pay your Council Tax Bill) then you can get away with anything. It really does beggar belief. I am incandescent. This pervert has been having sex with this girl for 3 years and apparently she is still under age. Other perverts and addicts will see this and come to the conclusion that they too can get away with it. It puts our children at huge risk. I'm glad to see that Richard Benyon is equally appalled at this situation and is asking questions. The Law in this country has become a sick joke.

The passage reads... QUOTE Thames Valley Police spokesman Adam Fisher said: “The CPS took the decision to give him a caution.” CPS spokesman Lucy Chapman said: “It was agreed with Thames Valley Police that a formal caution was the correct course of action to manage any risk posed by him.” She said the CPS was not consulted over the decision not to charge Mr Black with offences relating to alleged underage sex. What the heck does this mean? Clearly someone in the TVP is confused, or maybe a member of the same lodge as Mr Black!

This is England. The Government are so polite, they even let you in to the country free of charge, free to stay and not work, you even get paid for not working! Anyway, back to the point... This dude got away with it because he Admitted he was doing wrong and he wanted to seek help. Doesn't matter if you admit to something, such as the sexual relationship with this underage girl, there still needs to be evidence of it and so i would assume there wasn't.
Yes in some ways i believe more should of been done for punishment, to make him feel that he should never ever do anything of the sort again and for people like us to feel happy about what has been done about it... but already he's been humiliated by the media from his local town, he's already on the sex effenders register list and he cannot work with anyone under the age of 16, so he's lost his job, future jobs... What do you think?

QUOTE (Iommi @ Mar 25 2010, 12:41 PM) He was in possession of child porn, that was provable. He was warned to not see person that he consequently ignored. This suggests to me he is a 'problem'. Would pictures of his girlfriend be classed as child porn?

QUOTE (user23 @ Mar 25 2010, 12:42 PM) Would pictures of his girlfriend be classed as child porn? That depends, but is in any case, irrelevant. He was given a formal caution in respect of child pornography and placed on the Sex Offenders Register. That's enough to suggest he is dangerous and should face a court.

QUOTE (diamond41970 @ Mar 25 2010, 01:19 PM) I completely disagree. He has admitted that he is fantasising of having sex with CHILDREN my god he needs putting into an asylum. A formal caution is a joke. You have taken my post out of context, which on its own, is ambiguous. I originally posted a reply suggesting he has done enough already to 'merit' a charge. Regrettably, fantasising over children in the way described, "is of concern but not a criminal offence", as stated by his lawyer. I have edited my previous post.

I would suggest that if they were together and they 'Loved' each other then i suggest pictures of her would not be included in the child pornography case. That's if there is any consent from the youngster of course... Edit: and it would only be classed as child porn if the pictures were of a sexual nature... anything to do with just a smile with clothes on is not classed as child porn... unless i can be proven wrong?

The pictures were classed as "child porn", they were not holiday snaps.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Mar 25 2010, 04:00 PM) Bloggo - It beggars belief that people are defending this judgement. What if it was your 12/13 year old daughter?? I'm not sure anyone thinks the situation is good, but there might be rational answers as to why the TVP and the CPS acted as they did. I just hope it isn't because of any political or bureaucratic reasons.

QUOTE She said the CPS was not consulted over the decision not to charge Mr Black with offences relating to alleged underage sex. They should call it what they call it in the US: Statutory RAPE. Not as easy for the CPS to brush under the carpet as underage sex, which doesn't sound half as bad. There are some sick people out there, but I'm not sure if they're as bad as the system that lets them get away without some considerable punishment
