There are usually assessments made as part of pleadings that can decide whether someone is fit to plead or fit to serve sentence.

Violating the person of a minor by taking photographs of them for fantasising, if it can be proven beyond doubt is in itself in contravention of a number of laws so in principle is a matter for the criminal courts.

Mental illness is not necessarily the same as personality disorder. In order for a psychiatric assessment to diagnose mental illness it must be either a curative or palliative condition. If personality disorder were an illness then any crime could easily be seen as irrational.

The two aspects of this case that those charged with dealing with it must ask themselves are; is he a danger to himself or others? Does society need protecting from him?

Courts don't get it right all the time and as a past prison health inspector I have seen many people jailed for exhibiting their mental illness and in forensic care, I have seen many bad people for whom their personality rather than an illness caused the event that put them in hospital.

As ever, if this is to be debated, more information, preferably objective information is needed.

In the meantime, just leave your camera at home eh Akenaton?
