Jon Venables Jailed For Possessing Over 1,000 Abuse Images

[naomi24]

The mother of murdered toddler James Bulger has accused the authorities of "colluding" to cover up his killer's behaviour and has branded his 40 months sentence ‘a farce’. There are also calls for his anonymity to be lifted before he strikes again. This is the second time since his initial release he’s been jailed for possessing such images, described by the judge as "vile" and "heartbreaking", so the question is are we too lenient on people like him and does there come a time when we should decide to throw away the key?

Nah...if you're going reoffend you don't use child porn. That's something that's in you. He was on license....he could have committed any number of crimes.

One never hears about the other boy, Thompson. Perhaps he is now fully rehabilitated.

[ummmm]

Looks like it Jack.

I read yesterday that Robert Thompson, who has also been afforded anonymity, is now in a stable same-sex relationship and his partner is aware of Thompson's past.

I thought that Thompson was in Australia ?

[ummmm]

I wonder does he have nightmares.

Well that was never going to be true - Mikey - they would have had to get the Oz government to buy in to it!
