So he get's two and a half years in a cushy low grade prison while the two girls(possibly there are even more who have not come forward), have the rest of their lives blighted by what this animal did to them...That's what 'justice' amounts to in this modern society of ours.

I'd like to think he'll get what he deserves inside, but he'll probably end up with additional protection at the cost of the tax payer.

if it was my daughter i'd find him and chop his penis off and feed it to my dog... id quite happily sit in jail for the short term knowing that justice had been served.

Is this not the guy who pinched one girl's bum and some other form of unwanted sexual contact to the other? (as reported on BBC Essex radio) I'm glad he's in prison but I don't think the comments of the justice system being crap is totally justified in this case, he got 2 and a half years for touching the girl's bum, that's enough in my book.

We shouldn't be too quick to judge, we don't know what really happened , The papers never really say much about it.
