Sex Offender Granted Anonymity By The Courts...

[sandyRoe]

His lawyers claim that if he was named he might self-harm. Isn't it a pity he never thought of the consequences of his actions before he harmed his victims?

So wrong.

How many other sex offenders will now claim that they will do themselves an injury if they are named?

Surely the public have a right to know the name of this monster?

It's ironic that the decision came on the same day that this man was sentenced to 8 years imprisonment for offences against children.
Tweed had tried unsuccessfully to keep reports of a previous trail from being published. The fact that it was publicised prompted the victims to come forward and secure the conviction.

Very wrong not to name him. There are perverts within families who have kept these sort of things quiet. Name and shame every time I say.

It smacks of the law looking after the criminals and not the victims.

Disgusting.
