I certainly think pornography contributed to these offences. I also think the way in which female sexuality is used as a marketing ploy also has an insidious effect on how they are viewed and treated by the male population.

In the case of the man who assaulted and murdered Tia Sharp, it was reported that he had spent some of his childhood in a care home, that his mother was a prostitute and that he had been sexually abused as a child. I don't suppose any of those factors would help to create a stable individual.

The men who have committed such awful crimes,( recently Tia and April) do you think that after watching pornography and following through on what they had been watching would think 'will I get the death penalty or life in prison.
Ban pornography, I am sure that is where most of these crimes start.
