And the bent over british think US cops are fucked up for enforcing the law and beating down criminals? lol...Hundreds of UK child sex offenders spared jail, let off with cautionshttp://rt.com/tags/history/, rt.com/tags/internet/ Hundreds of sex offenders are being given lenientpunishments by British judges despite committing “abhorrent” crimesagainst children.According to officialfigures from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), hundreds of sexoffenders have been let off with cautions, despite the law sayingthey should face jail sentences of up to 14 years.According to the MoJ, there were 7,057 cautions handed to sexoffenders in the UK since 2009.The figures come as authorities investigate allegations ofhistoric child abuse during the 1970s and 1980s, including asuspected elite pedophile ring consisting of serving Britishpoliticians.Philip Davies, the Tory MP who disclosed the figures, said sexoffenders were not “feeling the full force of the law”adding, “It is completely unacceptable to give cautions forsexual activity with children under the age of 13.”“There are no mitigating factors and no excuses. They shouldgo before a judge,” he said.Charities including the National Society for the Prevention ofCruelty to Children (NSPCC) have said the cautions may have beenused if there was an issue regarding children having to giveevidence in court, but warned that British courts needed to domore to protect victims of abuse.“A custodial sentence for serious sexual offences sends avery clear message that society will not accept their behavior inany way. It also reflects the lifelong damage that sexual abusecan have on children and young people,” NSPCC spokespersonJon Brown said.“A prison sentence can also mean the offender is giventherapy to ensure they understand the impact of their behaviorand to reduce their risk of reoffending.”In response to the figures, ministers claim they are changing thelaw to stop the use of cautions on sex offenders.“Under this government, sex offenders are more likely to belocked up, and for longer … we’ve banned the use of cautions forserious offences and we’re now enshrining this in law,” saidConservative justice minister Mike Penning.Earlier this month, Home Secretary Theresa May came under firefor failing to get the historic child abuse inquiry off theground, after two consecutive chairwomen left over conflicts ofinterest.
