Category B is "non penetrative sexual activity". Absolute fucking cunt

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

NOT a defence of him whatsoever but the offence of "making images" is quite misleading, he isn't opening up PhotoShop and creating his own depraved stuff.

Whoever this wrong 'un he was talking to was sending him underage stuff, he omitted to delete it, or report it, or block the nonce. Which is all pretty bad in of itself and how and why did he ever get into talking to someone like that and onto swapping porn (legal or not) via WhatsApp.

 

[Del Woppio]

Aye, the way it's worded is very unfortunate, it makes it seem as though he literally took the picture. Again, no defence and the fucker can rot, but it's weird wording.

Why is this thread called 'The BBC Scandal'?
I thought it was what the BBC do.

Man who shared indecent images with Huw Edwards named as Alex Williams

Williams, 25, of Merthyr Tydfil, was given 12-month suspended jail term for possessing and distributing indecent images, including of children

If the creature who sent the images to Huw didn't go to jail, then pretty sure he won't either.

Absolutely staggering that possession of child porn doesn't come with time inside, as well as an incredibly robust medical intervention

Blame the Tories and their failure to build more prisons to keep up with the population growth

I’ve always been a defender of the BBC but fuck me you would have thought they’d learnt a lesson after Saville.

Anecdotal but from my last two jobs there's more going on with prisons than schools. Added complication with sex crimes I suppose because they have separate facilities but both my last two employers have/are building extra cells in sex offender prisons - not the quickest things to throw up though.

Also doesn't help when one of the biggest prison projects they've put forward in recent times gets held up in planning appeals for 2 years because residents, who already live next to a huge prison, don't want a new prison built next to them.
