Fury as 30 Paedos caught with most disgusting category of child abuse images walk free without serving a day in jail. Thirty paedophiles who hoarded thousands of pictures of the abuse of children as young as two have walked free from courts across the UK in the last two weeks alone. These offenders are some of the lowest of the low and it is essential our justice system punishes these dreadful and repulsive criminals to the fullest extent.

Our probe into Britain’s justice system comes amid continuing fury at a judge’s decision to spare Huw Edwards prison

The offenders, all found with the most serious Category A images, were spared prison — with one of the sickos smirking as he tasted continued liberty, our investigation reveals.Soft justice fury

Child abuse campaigner Shy Keenan told The Sun that handing paedophiles suspended sentences and community orders made it appear as if victims do not matter.

Shy, who was raped and abused by her stepfather from the age of four, is a vocal advocate against unduly lenient sentences.

She said: “We victims of these crimes have been subject to a clear decriminalisation of one the most life and soul-destroying crimes.

“It is one of those crimes that just keeps on giving, as each new download is a re-victimisation over and over again.

“We should mean more than a lost inconvenient judicial footnote to so-called ‘child protection’.

“Our recovery and survival starts with how society deals with the crime in the first place and at the moment, the message is clear: we don’t matter.

“Ignoring this ‘gateway crime’ just kicks this dangerous sex offender into the long grass for the next children to manage.”
