Christ, suspended sentence for keeping a vulnerable person as a slave for 40 years?!
Good. Kept the poor sod locked up for 40 years and gets 9 months suspended for a year and a half.
Fucking bollocks sentence. 40 years!
>A man whose disabled slavery victim was exploited for 40 years.
>Peter Swailes Jr, 56, was sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court **to a nine-month prison term**
I get to keep a slave for 40 years for the price of a 9-month suspended sentence? Firstly, justice system is a joke, secondly, send the cunt to a remote island and let him fend for himself.
“Unaware of his living conditions” Such bulshit. Sounds like Boris when he didn’t know he was at a party. I don’t even think this counts as a slap on the wrist. It’s complete bollocks that it even got to a point where a referral needs to be made.
Good. 40 years is fucking egregious beyond measure, how this guy isn’t in jail was confusing to me.
Things I never expected to say before the syphilis ate my brain:
I agree with Peter Bone
Given that he was not accused of, or convicted of, keeping anyone as a slave. How is this headline not defamation?
I see the judge’s comments on inaccurate media reporting of this case were completely ignored.
It is weird how out of whack the hierarchy of crimes is. Corruption (wasting millions of taxpayer money) +, financial crimes, lying to go to Iraq, slavery are often punished less than burglary, a one-off sexual assault (bad, but less overall harm that the first set of crimes which affect thousands or amount to thousands of moments of abuse), a few common assaults, doing Class A drugs or selling Class C drugs.
I’m just meaning in general. Maybe the culprit in this case was in a hard situation where his father was manipulating him into doing it and he could only free the guy by sending his father to prison. Dunno the details of the case.
I don’t know how much scope there is to extend the sentence in this guy, when the majority of the evil was committed by his father, who died before the trial.
It might be better to financially gouge the fathers estate as well as this guy to give some recompense to the person that they so cruelly exploited.
Let’s face it, even if he received a custodial sentence I can’t exactly see it being much better.
Kept in horrible conditions, in Carlisle. Which is worse?
Disgraceful situation.
In the interests of transparency, however, this headline is absolute nonsense. He plead guilty to employing an individual below minimum wage. The prosecution accepted this and did not seek any additional charges, which means there would’ve been a lack of evidence.
The fact that the judge’s comments on inaccurate reporting by the media were completely ignored marks another entry in a long list of reasons why the media should generally not be allowed to comment on judicial proceedings.
