"Whatever unlocked that hitherto hidden side of your character was not the Internet." The words Judge Richard McGregor-Johnson said to Internet pervert Douglas Lindsell don't show any ambiguity. The human being carries the evil fought by the law. The Internet didn't create pedophilia or rape but has somehow made it easier for perverts to meet their targets. The 64 years-old man from Twickenham, south west London, "was found with a hand-written sexual profile of 54 youngsters from the UK and 19 from abroad." DailyMail says in its Tuesday 27th September edition.
Lindsell was sentenced to "three years for attempted abduction of a girl aged under 14, two years for two counts of stalking under the Harassment Act, and three months for possession of indecent photos of children, all sentences to run concurrently." The Harassment Act, published in 1997 first of all says : "A person must not pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment of another, and which he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other".
Eventhough Lindsell was not accused of rape, all sentences added go up to 7 years and 3 months.
Which makes me think that sexual predators might be a threat in danger!
The Internet offers a huge experimental field for sexual predators who enjoy the inherent anonimity. How can children detect they are talking to a pervert? How can they even think about it? Never before pedophiles have had the opportunity to directly and freely communicate with the children. That is why this is the Government and Association of Kids Protection duty to educate both parents and children to the Internet threats.
