What a disgusting specimen he is.

A minimum sentence of 14 years is nothing although, of course, he may not be released after that time.
Why are these short sentences known as 'life sentences'.

If he says he regrets his past, has reformed and will live a good life in future, members of a Parole Board may believe him and he could be released on licence.

Life should mean life. He has destroyed this woman's life.

I agree with you.

HAs anybody got a link to the judge's sentencing comments?

A just sentence for an appalling crime, but we need life to mean life
Let’s hope the three disgusting asylum seekers who raped the girl on Brighton beach and filmed themselves doing it, get similar sentences

Don’t hold your breath sundowngirl!

This is another example of two tier sentencing. It was a disgusting crime and he is a complete animal BUT so were the hundreds of Asian grooming gang members and some of them are out of prison already after very light sentences.

Remember too, not only did they rape these girls but they drugged them, got some pregnant, physically and mentally abused them and called them “white trash”. This went on for months and years not just a horrific one off. No sentence is long enough for those vile men either.

Are you saying it's unfair that this man has been given a life sentence just because he's white British?

No I’m not saying that. He deserves a life sentence as do all the grooming gang members and life should mean life. None of them should be released early either.

This poor woman now has a life sentence of recurring memories of her ordeal.
I hope that the parole board remember that when his case comes up for review.
