I’ve just read on our local paper website that the journalist who reported my husbands case in the media has reported a similar case today… A 72 year old pensioner….
Watching online porn and escalating into indecent images and pseudo images which is cartoon images.
No dark Web mentioned.. Just via the usual porn pathways like my husbands and others like him.
He has had his sentencing suspended for 2 weeks to enable a pre sentence report to be done.
So this 72 year old guy has has been publicly humiliated and shamed… Could potentially lose his family, friends, at risk of being targeted in his local community… All for what?? A two bit journalist to get a few likes and shares on social media?!
Yes this man has comitted a crime but…
I remind you that statistically online offenders pose a 2% risk to ‘real’ children… So the other 98% don’t. 75% of men are led into indecent images via ordinary porn.
Why is our criminal justice system not sufficient punishment?
The public will read this article and automatically assume this guy is the ‘P’ word. He is 72 years old. He may have had a wife, children. He may have devoted his life to helping others… Now suddenly none of that matters and his last 72 years on earth will be defined by this assumed label for the rest of his days.
Why is this content allowed to exist?! Who is accountable for illegal material being so accessible on ordinary porn sites?!
Who are the people making these images? Who is catching them? Why aren’t Journalists reporting the real crimes that are being comitted?!
The police continue to arrest the low hanging fruit, around 850 men a month in the uk, journalists continue to report on a handful of these cases and destroy lives, destroy families.
