Thread Name: BS: Gary Glitter Punishment Poll
Subject: RE: BS: Gary Glitter Punishment Poll
He's a paedophile. He went to a country where there are certain penalties for certain sex offences. He now stands accused of committing such offences. If he wasn't prepared to face the penalties then one assumes he would have taken care not to commit the offences. Perhaps he's guilty and perhaps he's not. If he is then no-one has any reason to feel any sympathy for him over the penalty he may have to face, whatever that may be. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Yes, he was convicted of posession obscene images in children in the UK. I wait to be advised by some of our outspoken libertarians in this thread of the moral distinction between posession of such images and the hands-on sexual abuse of a child. I look forward to having that explained to me.
