    We don't have a justice system in the UK. If you are rich and/or connected you can get away with anything.
    Edwards should be rotting in a prison for several years. But he is free to get back to noncing. Whats worse is that people like myself who pay the licence fee funded his activities. Disgusting.

    They don’t get sent to prison because there is no space. Surely there can’t be any other reason behind it. Cathy’s story is astounding. I cannot believe that all the adults around her enabled this abuser. Not least her mother.

    That quote from the little girl, asking if all girls do that with their daddies, is just gut-wrenching. It's shameful that more resources aren't put toward bringing pedos to justice, but then it's not surprising when we see over and over how those in power are personally involved in this awful stuff.

  • @PizikSpaeth

    Bottom line is there isn't the money to imprison potentially hundreds of thousands of people. It was pure fluke that they caught the person who sent the images and even more lucky that the recipient was identified. It would be 10s of billions spent to imprison what are actually low risk individuals, and it's not like they would actually be rehabilitated.

    James don’t you have the capacity to go upstream and understand the situation- it was a deliberate act that the person that sent the child abuse videos to Edward’s was deliberately not sent to prison for the very purpose that Edward’s and people like you can say, well the person that sent them didn’t go to jail. That’s not a logical argument, it’s an endorsement of a system that protects those paedophiles at the top of the hill.
