The Shame.....

So, is the wedding still going ahead?

I wouldn't give it huge hope.

The whole thing is a little sad, if indeed a family has been torn apart. But there is only one person to blame.

The poor woman must have been mortified, and sick. Her daughter's boyfriend. What a violation of trust and privacy. It was brave of her to go public.

I don't think I'd be hoping for it at all! Although yeah, my post was a bit flippant.

I'd have been raging if I was her.

I don't think his point is entirely outrageous.

It possibly isn't pressing news, there was probably more serious sentences handed down in that same court that day that will go unnoticed. But it's always a case that the media will jump all over, it has that titillating aspect, no journo present at Court would allow that one slip by. Again, the person at fault is the offender, he can't control the media's reaction to a case like this.

If his point was "why is the media even caring", sure, I'd agree. But his point appears to be how dare the woman destroy this poor young man's life and put him through all this because she has the brass neck to object to being filmed "secretly" in the bath.

Which is pretty unreasonable.

Revolting Such an invasion of privacy and a violation, in her own home, by someone who was going to join her family.

What an absolute wretch of a woman to report such a trivial incident and have him put though was he has been put through.

Sickening beyond belief.

She's a victim of what. How has she suffered ? Don't make me laugh. What a utter utter b**ch to do what she did.

Are you him... :eek:

Such a weird story. The I read Newtownards and it all made kinda weird sense.

The perv wasn't from newtownards though, he was from Portaferry. Anyway does newtownards have a high number of son in laws who secretly record their mother in laws in the bathroom??

Re the poster earlier trying to pass the blame onto the mother how ridiculous is that? Sounds like the sort who would question what a girl was wearing if she was raped rather than blame the culprit. Pretty low.

As for the marriage still being on I can predict that will end well for all.....

I've seen a lot of odd photos being posted accompanying articles recently, especially ones that were just ripped off the internet.

This was the best/worst so far, for a stockbroker link

article

its not a court he needed its a stake through the heart

He should be punished, but is this punishment proportional to the crime he committed? He will suffer the consequences of this for the rest of his life, he is a young man so in effect he has been given a life sentence for his crime.

He is an idiot and should be punished, but a serious criminal conviction, sexual offender and public shaming? Crazy.

The fact that he has seventeen first names should assist him slipping back in to anonymity.

In years to come this will be just a little in joke between the happy couple and at family get-togethers.

At least he has good material for mother-in-law jokes.

I dunno. If he could do that to the mother of his own girlfriend, I'd say he could do it again. I'd agree that it doesn't make him a potential rapist or killer or anything, he is what he is, a voyeur, and don't see how we could say with confidence that he wouldn't act on that again.

What are the recidivism rates for voyeurism?

Recidivism rates for all sexual crimes are low so I'd assume this would be low as well.
