I heard about this on my car radio as I was driving home from work. I felt so angry, disgusted and sad.


man, hard to believeAngry

Shocked That's kinda like letting someone off scot-free who's caused 24 serious, maiming and/or fatal accidents while driving drunk! "You're really sorry and you're getting therapy? Fine then - off you go - be good now..." Shocked

Very sad for his victims... Unbelieveable even to his own family. The police are considering an appeal, and good for them - that was not justice in the least.

Does anyone know the statistics of recovery from paedophilia by therapy? I don't know the actual numbers - but it is very, very low.Crybaby
His "religion is standing by him?" Shocked Oh, he must have repented... Or perhaps it has been more than three years since his last incident...

I am more than a little bit suspicious about this judge's motivations for being so generous. I am a little bit jaded.

Even sick sob's would think long and hard about committing wrongdoing if lightning bolts from heaven struck them dead one second after committing such crimes. The courts need to come as close to lightning bolts as they possibly can. The idea is to make perverts think long and hard. As it is, they don't even think twice.

Here is an update on this.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/...-19685752/

Law chiefs stepped in yesterday over the freeing of predatory paedophile Michael Porter.

The Attorney General demanded the case papers so he can consider an appeal on the sentence.

Judge Tom Crowther sparked fury for not jailing Porter on 25 gross indecency and indecent assault charges on boys in Clevedon, Somerset.

He gave the senior Jehovah's Witness, now of Finchley, North London, a three year community rehabilitation order.

The Attorney General's Office said: "A decision will be made within 28 days. No view has been reached at this stage."

Thanks for that update, Bangalore. ThumbsupThank God something is being done about the absurdity of this case. I hope the judge is also investigated for his gross lack of understanding regarding this vile creature and allowing him to walk the streets (and, unfortunately, to knock on doors proclaiming his love for Jehovah Cry)in complete freedom.Please keep us informed of any news you get regarding it.
Christian love to you,

They should do what they do in some middle eastern countries. Castration!
Perfect solution, Chuck. I don't think it's extreme either - didn't Jesus say that if your eye was causing you to sin then pluck it out - or your hand - cut it off? Perhaps he wasn't speaking literally... or maybe he was!

In the US several years ago there was a case of an imprisoned serial pedophile who implored the state to castrate him. He said therapy had been ineffective for him and it was the only way he would be able to stop. He wanted to stop. The state wouldn't do the operation, even though he begged for it - said it was inhumane.
Inhumane, impo, is an adult man forcing sex on an innocent child - also forcing the child to bear the pain, shame and guilt for a lifetime. If I had my druthers... chop chop - end of problem.

Paedo's sister hits out
Exclusive by Richard Smith 27/08/2007

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/...-19692549/

The sister of the paedophile freed despite attacking 13 boys spoke yesterday of her revulsion of him.

Tina Hughes told of her relief that her two kids had escaped their uncle Michael Porter's evil clutches - but she fears he will now go on to attack other children.

The mum-of-two, 40, said: "I don't know him now. I feel the same about him as I would any paedophile.

"He's an evil monster with no soul. He's not human. The fact he is flesh and blood is irrelevant to me. To me he is six feet under. Dead."

Married Jehovah's Witness Porter, 38, was astonishingly let off with just a three-year community rehab order last week despite the victims of his vile 14-year campaign including an 18-month-old tot.

Tina fears it has left other innocent kids at risk of falling prey to his twisted lusts. She said: "There's no way I'd let my kids near him. Once a paedophile, always a paedophile. He'll never change.

"When the sentence was delivered I could tell he was laughing inside. I broke down in tears. I knew the victims, every single one. I was heartbroken for them."

The Attorney-General is considering an appeal against his soft sentence.

Porter used his seniority in the Jehovah's Witness church to pose as a normal adult with an innocent devotion to children. He grew close to Tina's son Charlie, now nine, and daughter Emily, 14, but abused neither.

His sister, of Clevedon, Somerset, said: "He was respected in the Jehovah's Witness community. As a teenager he babysat kids. He worshipped Emily but never touched her.

It seems he was only interested in boys.

"Thank God he only saw Charlie under my supervision. But I'd never have suspected him because the kids appeared to adore him."

Porter, his sister and three siblings grew up in a contented home in Portishead, Somerset, despite a strict Christian upbringing.

Their parents even held him up as an example to the others, with no idea of the monster he would become. Tina, no longer a Jehovah's Witness, said: "We had a happy childhood. All five of us were close as the religion would not let us associate with people outside it.

"Michael was God-fearing and because of that was the apple of our mum's eye. Our parents said we should follow his example."

When Tina later became a single mum, hypocrite Porter claimed she was guilty of a mortal sin and shunned her. She said: "He didn't approve of sex out of wedlock and said I'd condemned my child to death." Yet he molested kids in the religious community, convinced its reclusive nature would keep his secret hidden.

Tina added: "Jehovah's Witnesses are closed to the outside world. Michael knew that by abusing kids in the religion, nothing would be said about it."

Porter, of Finchley, North London, admitted 24 charges of gross indecency and indecent assault at Bristol crown court last week. A woman whose husband and son he abused blasted: "He's allowed to walk the streets even though he's done so much damage to my family. I'm absolutely devastated."
