Kieran Creaven at it again..

Did you read the article?

It is fairly harrowing stuff, but it is also not recent (i.e. post his arrest).

In other words, why do you say "Kieran Creaven at it again.."?

The Thai offences were pre UK arrest, read the article

I really don't like how those hunter groups work but then you see something like this and from the article Creaven himself is saying that hes glad he was caught then as he was spiraling so it's quite a good thing he was caught as that would suggest he'd still be at it and more. The main issue I have with those groups is that it would be very easy for someone to make a fake facebook acccount with your pictures and then message these "decoys" and have them turning up at your house shouting all sorts on the street when you haven't a clue what's gone on.

He should voluntarily offer himself up for chemical castration, as some pedos have done in the past, and perhaps that might be justification for giving him a lighter sentence.

Of course in this backward country, you don't need to do anything as drastic as that to get yourself a soft sentence. Just get your legal rep to bring out the violin and play the sob story about your personal troubles and sad back story.

This chap is sorry he got caught, end of. Like most of them!

After reading the facts it would appear that this should be a death penalty case if that were still a legal punishment in this country. Dreadful, dreadful man. He has lost his home, job, reputation, and marriage, so he may make his own quietus soon anyway.

The point is that what they are doing could be exploited. If I wanted to frame someone and have these people knocking at their door and shouting that they are a pedo all over the street it would be very easy to do. All I would need to do is buy a cheap phone, make a fake account with their pictures and then send a few messages out until I end up speaking to the decoy. Whats to stop anyone from doing that? These groups shouldn't be approaching members of the public the way they do. Gather the information and then bring it to the police.

California passed laws 20+ years ago, requiring chemical castration as a mandatory requirement for parole.

I think we should consider similar changes to the law here.

Sexual based crimes are very serious, and can leave a trail of misery behind that is every bit as horrible as when someone commits murder.

Because this creep never murdered anyone, our justice system will see him back out on the streets in a very short period of time. He'll be on the sex offenders register, but that's no consolation to anyone who is unlucky enough to be living near him. He will still have these sick urges, and that will make him a constant threat to society. The chances of him re-offending are extremely high.
