He isn't the only bad apple.

I think it's time that Cressida Dick resigned.

Terrible terrible case. The police need to do more about vetting their officers and making sure safeguards are in place. His behaviour was known for years, reading violent sexual pornography, and colleagues called him “The rapist”. He abused his position as a police officer to get Sarah to willingly get into his car with her hands handcuffed behind her back. Anyone else she would have run or screamed like hell and maybe had a chance. She had no chance. Who’d trust a policeman now? Cressida Dicks should resign. An enquiry needs to take place and safeguards put into place.

The agony Sarah’s parents and friends are going through will never go away. I am glad his life sentence means life and in all probability spent in solitary confinement to protect him from other prisoners.

He pleaded guilty and I think deservedly got a whole life sentence, but I do not think this is his only major crime he has somehow due to his position managed to cover them up, no one goes from " flashing" to murder and rape in one fell swoop I am sure as time goes on other crimes will come to light. My thoughts are with her parents and family a friends.
