Parole of rapist

The other thing is, though, that unfortunately he was not tried and found guilty for the other 'alleged' rapes trisher.

And often someone who has been found guilty of multiple offences receives concurrent sentences, not consecutive sentences.

But what sort of a message does this send to other men who may be of the same inclination? If the average sentence for rape is around 5 years and someone who has committed many serves only 10 years, doesn't that send out the message that you might as well do as many as you can, you're not going to serve that much longer.
The sentencing is far too lenient altogether for so many of these cases trisher - imo.

The parole board is being talked about because they are the one that allowed his new parole freedom.

Of course it isn’t true, and what a bloody cheek to even say that about GN members!

plenty of women
a reliable number
who have no sympathy at all with women who are raped: sexually assaulted and sexually harassed

I don't think that that is true, sorry.

You probably missed the posts criticising Toby Young and his behaviour because I think it is a meandering on a political thread not one specifically about sexual behaviour and you must have realised that most posters will avoid the political threads now for obvious reasons.

In the meantime, your assertion about 'plenty of women on GN' should perhaps be taken with a huge pinch of salt.

I guess we're discussing the rapist case because that's what the thread is about. If you want to discuss Boris et al then start another thread.

There have been threads on all these issues and there are always a reliable number of posters who are very negative towards women in such cases and very unsupportive. There are posters who think women bring it on themselves, should change their behaviour, lie, wear the wrong clothes etc etc . The Harvey Weinstein case, Damien Green, The Defence Secretary whose name I have forgotten, If most posters on GN are so supportive of wome, why is the discussion on this thread focussed almost solely on the Parole Board and the sentence and not on the wider context in which this whole situation developed including police attitudes and the wider society. I’ve clearly missed all the many many posts criticising Toby Young and the support he is getting from Boris and Michael whilst the best that Theresa can manage is that his tweets are ‘distasteful’. WTAF?

Yes, I'd like to know who the "plenty of women" are too. Seems a rather vague assertion to make for such a serious allegation.

Who are these 'plenty of woman'?

There are plenty of women on GN who have no sympathy at all with women who are raped
What evidence do you have of that, maryeliza54?

sorry, should have added ?

Really maryeliza
I cannot believe that.

NH is Chsir of the Parole Board which has over 200 members, 3 of whom made up the panel that decided on Worboys release. This group of 3 was chaired by a woman

Sometimes it seems that we have lost all common sense in this country. How on earth can it be safe to release such a monster? I wonder if he has been declared impotent and that has swayed the judgement of the parole board? Not realising that rape isn't just about sexual gratification but about asserting ones power over others.

The Parole board was chaired by a man Nick Hardwick who has apologised that victims were not informed of the decision.

And also, the police let the women down, not all police officers are male.

It would be wrong to have an all woman parole board as it is to have an all male parole board. And I do not believe all men are incapable of understanding the effects of rape on a woman.

I believe the Parole Review Body was led by a highly experienced woman, no more details than that.

I don't know the answer but hope there was a balance and that any right-minded man would be equally horrified at his crimes, which were not carried out on the spur of the moment but carefully planned.
He is a danger to all women and should not have been released on parole.

I was wondering, and I know GN is a mine of information, does anyone know how many women sat on his Parole Board? Is there a case for having all women boards for offenders who committed crimes only against women? Maybe men don't have good judgement on this.

What can be done about sexual harrisment? prosecute every knee toucher ? Is it acceptable this happens , no, but what is the answer?

There are some now wanting operas such as Carmen and Rigoletto to have the endings changed , this hysteria will not help women

I heard this morning that the police are looking at the other victims with a view, I presume, to start new proceedings.

Of course he would because we live in a society that values money over people, especially women. Giving longer sentences to rapists won’t stop rape or women being subject to daily sexual harassment and objectification will it?
