| Comment | afaik he can't be added to the register if he's been discharged, so it's just a follow-on from that. Again, the register is for public safety, not a tool for punishment.
from what I see of this case it's been agreed by all parties that the guy is mentally underdeveloped, there wasn't specific malicious or sexual intent, and the best thing for all is that they put the shit up him, making sure he never even thinks about doing this again, and everyone can get on with their lives
it's a very nuanced case, I'm not saying that judgement is right or wrong, but I would say that due to it being an unusual case that judge is in a better and more informed place to judge it than you or I, and they've openly given their reasons for their judgement, and I'd want to be a lot more sound on the underlying case law before I called it into question |
