You will need to employ more staff to carry out the extra duties as it appears that there is no requirement to tell the victims at the moment.
Do you have a crystal ball Minty?

Mikey - "I still stand by my original point.....the sentence was life, with a minimum of 8 years.....not a maximum of 8 years."

He's been let out in line with minimum term that was imposed, so I don't really understand your point.

This man is very clearly a scumbag of breathtaking precautions who I would have liked to have never have seen the light of day again, however, he was sentenced in line with the sentencing guidelines on the charges that were proven and then paroled in-line with the minimum sentence imposed.

Emotional outbursts such as 'he's raped 100 women and therefore life should mean life' are futile because we have in this country the novel idea of there being evidence to support a conviction (hands up who would be happy to be convicted without any evidence).

Hopefully these new cases will be investigated, the required level of evidence obtained, and this utter utter scumbag never experiences freedom again, but until then whining about '100 rapes' is pointless at this point as it's unproven.

no one is whining, more to the point why did he get an indefinite sentence in the first place, then be released after 8 years. The parole board governor has misgivings going on the article i posted earlier today.

I heard this on the radio this morning and my first thought was, 'I wonder how long it will be before he re-offends'. Very, very worrying.

I rather suspect that was the case with the majority hereiam
