That's what I'm asking though.It said tonight on channel 5 news he�s been suspended from the church.

Is that correct?
And shouldn't he have been sacked ?
Read this , BTW its a bit sickening.

http://news.uk.msn.com/Article.aspx?cp-documen tid=9780415
for gods sake 3 and a half years??????????? he is depraved,he even took some of the photos himself,he is a peadophile lets hope satan is stoking the fires for this evil bast**d and the sooner he is there the better,lets hope he becomes the prison bitch..................
the church is holding a disiplinary panel hearing. Seems reasonable enough to consider the matter themselves before deciding what to do with him; he won't be going anywhere in the meantime.

The photos he took himself were just of kids swimming - naked apparently; I can understand the subjects of them feeling shocked, but they haven't been abused.
jno 58,000 photos of kids,some of them which he took himself some category 4,the most serious of pictures hardly seems like he was taking photosof kids happily swimming around now does it?
Question Author
Jno a bit of a crass answer in my opinion.
The church are considering the matter ?

What are theydoing ?
Passing the pictures around the other vicars to see if they are more hardcore than theirs?

He was suspended when charged .

Hes been convicted.

Next move sack him.


END OF.


.
The Church suspended him when he was arrested - in this country we are innocent until we are found guilty by a court.

The Church could not sack him before the trial and proper procedures have to be followed now.
The church bloke they spoke to on the news seemed very complacent about it. It can happen in any profession, he said, and we can't prevent it happening.

Charming!
Well that is true - it can and does happen in every profession, in every class of society.

If the Church has no reason to suspect this behaviour in any of its clergy, what is to do?

Don't forget vicars are subject to CRB checks as they have contact with children and vulnerable adults and if they are clear what do you suggest is done?
How the photos were brought to the attention of the police, I don't know.

The vicar's wife was also charged, but let off with a caution. That to me is very wrong - she obviously knew about it as she was cautioned, so admitted guilt. She had it in her power to put a stop to it and chose not to.

Ethel i know they suspended him before hes now convicted and sent to jail.

So the obvious thing is sack him.Ethel are you actually saying it needs thinking about ?Surely not , but yoiur answe looks almost sympathetic.Innocent possibly but with 58,000 pictures which he told police at time of his arrest it was a hobby he had .A hobby ?

Stoke i just heard on the news he had category 5 child pornography , also a father of 5 i worry about his poor children and darent think about what may have been going on.


Just heard on news they will defrock him now.

About time .Just totally sick and depraved
Stoke,the most serious category of photo is 5,not 4.
Question Author
Sorry but im sick of folk makin exscusesfor these weirdos


pete townshend writing a book.


and it continues the vicars had these images 30 years 2 years before he became a vicar

bets cover inthos edays for getting kids alone eh �


shoot them i say


sickos
So; he took photos of children in various circumstances. Did he abuse these children to any extent? Many people, especially parents, take pictures of naked babies. A Pulitzer winning photo from the Vietnam war featured a naked young girl escaping from a napalm attack on her village........was it pornographic? Perhaps the fact that he is a 'man of the cloth' is fuelling this hysteria
Question Author
stewey the category 5 pictures are the strongest you can get they are of 4 year olds being brutalised.i asssume thats pretty bad but never having seen anything likethta im not about to defend him. google cat 5 abuse photos see waht it says
Question Author
Police categorise child abuse pictures from category one to category five, where five is the most serious.



SERIOUS SH�T STEWEY


HE SAID IT WAS A HOBBY VAND HE GOT HOOOKED???
Legend, I am not saying that what he is accused of doing is acceptable. I am asking what did he actually do wrong? He had, it seems, in his possession photographs of young children of such a description that most 'normal' people would not have. However, I ask again, did he actually, physically in any way abuse these children? I really do think that we are all becoming a tad neurotic. It seems that nowadays you can't even take photos of your own children acting in a school play!
Question Author
Stewey are you drunk?
he had 58,000 pictures of children , thousands of them of children being raped .he had hundreds of handwritten stories describing chilld rape and he had taken pictures of young children in his care.

he told the police its a hobby once you look at them youre like a magpie and need to start collecting them?

hes been collecting kiddy porn for 30 years now.


what bit of it dont you understand mate?

its not normal pictures its 4 year old kids being raped and tortured .


so?
i don't think there are "grey" areas in this case....he had 44 cat 5 pics...that is not a hobby....and no way near taking pics of your children.
Can`t believe some people are defending what he`s done

OK he`s not abused them himself but FFS
Legend, I read nothing in your link regarding children being raped and/or tortured, nothing about hand-written stories, nor no mention of his having a hobby.........You know, old buddy, I'm not really defending his actions: I'm just asking questions........Buenos noches, amigo.
