Sentenced to 35 years.

What did the perverted women get ?

14 & 17 years.
Watkins is extremely unlikely ever to be released, given that the judge stated that he is the most dangerous predatory paedophile he has ever encountered.
Cue the usual suspects clamouring for a death penalty we don't and never will have...

Not calling for the death penalty but all rapists and especially peadophiles should be chemically castrated imo.

That's a hell of a sentence! I'm not saying it's wrong or anything, but It's a lot more than I was expecting.

 

[mcmanus]

I agree. It seemed a long sentence when I first heard it, then the words 'baby raper' sprang to mind and I thought not long enough. The guy is obviously a danger to young children so fuck him and I highly doubt he'll ever walk the earth as a free man.

 

[tidyman]

35 years is a fair lump but he could well be out and about while still in his 50's and interested in sex.

I'm a bit surprised that rape or attempted rape of a baby doesn't carry a life sentence to be honest.

Watkins was sentenced alongside the two women known as Woman A and Woman B who also pleaded guilty to child abuse charges.

Woman A was jailed for 14 years and Woman B was sentenced to 17 years in prison.

These two should have been sentenced to as much as Watkins was.....no matter what amount of coercion was involved they gave their children to him.

The term Life sentence is a bit misleading.
If you are convicted of Murder you are sentenced to 'life imprisonment' but that is just words. The judge has to tell you the maximum number of years you will serve. Without everyone moaning about Europe, under ECHR you are not allowed to give whole life terms, i.e never be released. Upon release you are placed on parole, if you break parole you can be immediately brought back to serve the remaining time. Any other serious offence whilst not being termed a 'life sentence' is just the same.

I asked what the women got because in some respects they are worse than him. A mother should have an inbuilt desire to protect her child, to allow your own flesh and blood to be abused is really perverted.

Is this a new ruling?

Cregan got a whole life order not so very long ago.

Just going to check back in a mo,
I am sure they have to say how long you are in for ............

Just nicked this of the Telegraph from October 2013
"A triple killer, who slashed a pensioner’s throat when he tried to stop him robbing a neighbour, has avoided a whole life prison sentence after the judge said such a punishment was illegal under European law."

I presume you meant "minimum" not "maximum".
