Study: Judges Balking at Tough Child-Porn Sentences
"Judges are steadily reducing the punishments for child pornography even as the number of cases rise, according to a new government study on the matter released on Wednesday.
Sentences for convicted child pornographers are far longer than they were a decade ago, with the average sentence rising from 54 months in 2004 to 95 months in 2010, according to the study by the federal agency that establishes sentencing guidelines for judges to follow."

SENTENCING COMMISSION ISSUES REPORT ASSESSING PENALTIES FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY OFFENSES
"Judge Patti B. Saris, chair of the Commission, stated, “The Commission believes [what a fool believes, she sees] that all [sic] child pornography offenses are very serious because they encourage [how?] the sexual exploitation [weasel words] of children [and, you have a problem with that, why, do you think minors are not sexual beings, with rights and needs?] and perpetuate the harm [ah, not serious 'harm', then ... but, you believe, that your report proves (or even evidences) any causal harm?] to victims [legal term], particularly [ditto re. harm] when images are distributed on the Internet and permanently in circulation [ditto re. harm].""

Doesn't the new USSC report necessarily rebut any appellate "presumption of reasonableness" for within-guideline child porn sentences?
"In short, the US Sentencing Commission is saying that the current federal guidelines for child pornography are broken because they give too much significance to some offense factors and too little to others, and thus guideline-calculated ranges for child porn offenses are "too severe for some offenders and too lenient for other offenders." Put even more directly, the USSC is here declaring that the existing child porn guidelines are not a reasonable means to ensure just, effective and proportionate punishment."

Curing media abuse – A statutory right to reply is needed
"A statutory right of reply (RoR) is the thing of media nightmares. That alone tells you it is the best remedy for the general public. But the media is looking a gift horse in the mouth because an RoR would provide the strongest bulwark against any government desire to regulate the media. If there is a truly effective means of rapid redress available to everyone, including incidentally politicians, the prime argument for outside regulation is removed.
An RoR is also the perfect practical solution to the problem of media abuse because it is a self-regulating mechanism, able to develop organically and requiring no great bureaucracy to administer it or vast amounts of money to fuel it."

The attorney general is taking legal action against several people who published photographs said to show one of James Bulger's killers.
There is a ban on publishing anything revealing the identity of Jon Venables or Robert Thompson.
Images said to show one of them as they are now appeared online earlier in February, and have since been removed.
Contempt proceedings against those identified as having posted the photographs are now under way.
The Attorney General's Office (AGO) said proceedings had been instituted against a number of individuals and court papers would be served shortly."

Broken Truths? (Part 2)
Now the police are 'involved' ... it is always difficult be sure, with these two ladies ...
Please tell us who, ladies, and when?
In passing, this really is a classic, from you, Jim ...
... but, you are 100% correct, here ...

Now, here is a little legal information, on the issues ...
*****
"As the European Court of Human Rights has made clear, Article 10 protects not only speech which is well-received and popular, but also speech which is offensive, shocking or disturbing (Sunday Times v UK (No2) [1992] 14 EHRR 123):
“Freedom of expression constitutes one of the essential foundations of a democratic society ... it is applicable not only to “information” or “ideas” that are favourably received or regarded as inoffensive or as a matter of indifference, but also as to those that offend, shock or disturb ...”
32. Freedom of expression and the right to receive and impart information are not absolute rights. They may be restricted but only where a restriction can be shown to be both:
>Necessary and
>Proportionate.
These exceptions, however, must be narrowly interpreted and the necessity for any restrictions convincingly established (see the judgment of the European Court in the Sunday Times case at paragraph 50)
33. The common law takes a similar approach. In Chambers v DPP [2012] EWHC 2157 (Admin), the Lord Chief Justice made it clear that:
“Satirical, or iconoclastic, or rude comment, the expression of unpopular or unfashionable opinion about serious or trivial matters, banter or humour, even if distasteful to some or painful to those subjected to it should and no doubt will continue at their customary level, quite undiminished by [section 127 of the Communications Act 2003].”
34. Prosecutors are reminded that what is prohibited under section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 is the sending of a communication that is grossly offensive. A communication sent has to be more than simply offensive to be contrary to the criminal law. Just because the content expressed in the communication is in bad taste, controversial or unpopular, and may cause offence to individuals or a specific community, this is not in itself sufficient reason to engage the criminal law. As Lord Bingham made clear in DPP v Collins [2006] UKHL 40:
“There can be no yardstick of gross offensiveness otherwise than by the application of reasonably enlightened, but not perfectionist, contemporary standards to the particular message sent in its particular context.”
Interim guidelines on prosecuting cases involving communications sent via social media; Issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions, December 2012.

... and, of course, distress claimed by one person, does not mean that distress was intended by another. As for Stalking, Harassment etc, under ...
*****
"(2) Communications which specifically target an individual or individuals and which may constitute harassment or stalking within the meaning of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 or ..."
(2) Communications targeting specific individuals
19. If communications sent via social media target a specific individual or individuals, they will fall to be considered under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 where they amount to a course of conduct within the meaning of section 7 of that Act. In such cases, prosecutors should follow the CPS Legal Guidance on Stalking and Harassment."
*****
"S.2 offence Harassment
The elements of the section 2 offence are:
>a course of conduct;
which amounts to harassment of another; and
which the defendant knows, or ought to know amounts to harassment of another.
>Or section 1(1A), as inserted by section 125(2) of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (SOCPA)
>a course of conduct;
which involves harassment of two or more persons; and
which the defendant knows or ought to know involves harassment of those persons;
by which he intends to persuade any person (whether or not one of those mentioned above);
not to do something that he is entitled or required to do; or to do something that he is not under any obligation to do.
As a summary only offence, the section 2 offence requires an information or complaint to be laid within 6 months from the time when the offence was committed, or the matter of complaint arose. The 6 months' limitation should run from the last date of the course of conduct alleged.
In determining whether the defendant ought to know that the course of conduct amounts to harassment, the question to be considered is whether a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other.
Defence - Harassment - section 2
Three defences are available to the section 2 offence:
>that the course of conduct was pursued for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime;
>that it was pursued under any enactment or rule of law or to comply with any condition or requirement imposed by any person under any enactment;
>or that in the particular circumstances the pursuit of the course of conduct was reasonable."
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/stalking_and_harassment/#a03b
"Section 2A offence - Stalking
The elements of the section 2A offence are:
>a course of conduct which is in breach of section 1(1) of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (i.e. a course of conduct which amounts to harassment) and the course of conduct amounts to stalking.
This means that there has to be a course of conduct which amounts to harassment and that particular harassment can be described as stalking behaviour.
A course of conduct is the same as defined under section 7 of the PHA 1997 and referred to elsewhere in this guidance.
Definition of stalking
Stalking is not legally defined but section 2A (3) of the PHA 1997 lists a number of examples of behaviours associated with stalking. The list is not an exhaustive one but gives an indication of the types of behaviour that may be displayed in a stalking offence. The listed behaviours are:
(a) following a person,
(b) contacting, or attempting to contact, a person by any means,
(c) publishing any statement or other material relating or purporting to relate to a person, or purporting to originate from a person,
(d) monitoring the use by a person of the internet, email or any other form of electronic communication,
(e) loitering in any place (whether public or private),
(f) interfering with any property in the possession of a person,
(g) watching or spying on a person.
Section 2A is a summary offence and a person guilty of the offence of stalking is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or a fine.
As a summary only offence, the section 2A offence requires an information or complaint to be laid within 6 months from the time when the offence was committed, or the matter of complaint arose. The 6 months' limitation should run from the last date of the course of conduct alleged.
An integral part of the stalking offence is establishing that harassment has taken place. In determining whether the defendant ought to know that the course of conduct amounts to harassment, the question to be considered is whether a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other."
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/stalking_and_harassment/#a03d
Cyber stalking
"Harassment can take place on the internet and through the misuse of email. This is sometimes known as 'cyberstalking'. This can include the use of social networking sites, chat rooms and other forums facilitated by technology. The internet can be used for a range of purposes relating to harassment, for example:
>to locate personal information about a victim;
>to communicate with the victim;
>as a means of surveillance of the victim;
>identity theft such as subscribing the victim to services, purchasing goods and services in their name;
>damaging the reputation of the victim;
>electronic sabotage such as spamming and sending viruses; or
>tricking other internet users into harassing or threatening a victim.
Further guidance can be found in Communications Offences, elsewhere in the Legal Guidance."
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/stalking_and_harassment/#a05a
*****
20. Where communications target a specific individual and the offence of blackmail is made out, prosecutors should seek to prosecute the substantive offence.
21. Again, where there is evidence of discrimination, prosecutors should pay particular regard to the provisions of section 28-32 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and section 145 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (increase in sentences for racial and religious aggravation) and section 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (increase in sentences for aggravation related to disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity)."

Guidelines on prosecuting cases involving communications sent via social media

Please tell us who, ladies, and when?
In passing, this really is a classic, from you, Jim ...
... but, you are 100% correct, here ...

Now, here is a little legal information, on the issues ...
*****
"As the European Court of Human Rights has made clear, Article 10 protects not only speech which is well-received and popular, but also speech which is offensive, shocking or disturbing (Sunday Times v UK (No2) [1992] 14 EHRR 123):
“Freedom of expression constitutes one of the essential foundations of a democratic society ... it is applicable not only to “information” or “ideas” that are favourably received or regarded as inoffensive or as a matter of indifference, but also as to those that offend, shock or disturb ...”
32. Freedom of expression and the right to receive and impart information are not absolute rights. They may be restricted but only where a restriction can be shown to be both:
>Necessary and
>Proportionate.
These exceptions, however, must be narrowly interpreted and the necessity for any restrictions convincingly established (see the judgment of the European Court in the Sunday Times case at paragraph 50)
33. The common law takes a similar approach. In Chambers v DPP [2012] EWHC 2157 (Admin), the Lord Chief Justice made it clear that:
“Satirical, or iconoclastic, or rude comment, the expression of unpopular or unfashionable opinion about serious or trivial matters, banter or humour, even if distasteful to some or painful to those subjected to it should and no doubt will continue at their customary level, quite undiminished by [section 127 of the Communications Act 2003].”
34. Prosecutors are reminded that what is prohibited under section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 is the sending of a communication that is grossly offensive. A communication sent has to be more than simply offensive to be contrary to the criminal law. Just because the content expressed in the communication is in bad taste, controversial or unpopular, and may cause offence to individuals or a specific community, this is not in itself sufficient reason to engage the criminal law. As Lord Bingham made clear in DPP v Collins [2006] UKHL 40:
“There can be no yardstick of gross offensiveness otherwise than by the application of reasonably enlightened, but not perfectionist, contemporary standards to the particular message sent in its particular context.”

... and, of course, distress claimed by one person, does not mean that distress was intended by another. As for Stalking, Harassment etc, under ...
*****
"(2) Communications which specifically target an individual or individuals and which may constitute harassment or stalking within the meaning of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 or ..."
(2) Communications targeting specific individuals
19. If communications sent via social media target a specific individual or individuals, they will fall to be considered under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 where they amount to a course of conduct within the meaning of section 7 of that Act. In such cases, prosecutors should follow the CPS Legal Guidance on Stalking and Harassment."
*****
"S.2 offence Harassment
The elements of the section 2 offence are:
>a course of conduct;
which amounts to harassment of another; and
which the defendant knows, or ought to know amounts to harassment of another.
>Or section 1(1A), as inserted by section 125(2) of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (SOCPA)
>a course of conduct;
which involves harassment of two or more persons; and
which the defendant knows or ought to know involves harassment of those persons;
by which he intends to persuade any person (whether or not one of those mentioned above);
not to do something that he is entitled or required to do; or to do something that he is not under any obligation to do.
As a summary only offence, the section 2 offence requires an information or complaint to be laid within 6 months from the time when the offence was committed, or the matter of complaint arose. The 6 months' limitation should run from the last date of the course of conduct alleged.
In determining whether the defendant ought to know that the course of conduct amounts to harassment, the question to be considered is whether a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other.
Defence - Harassment - section 2
Three defences are available to the section 2 offence:
>that the course of conduct was pursued for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime;
>that it was pursued under any enactment or rule of law or to comply with any condition or requirement imposed by any person under any enactment;
>or that in the particular circumstances the pursuit of the course of conduct was reasonable."
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/stalking_and_harassment/#a03b
"Section 2A offence - Stalking
The elements of the section 2A offence are:
>a course of conduct which is in breach of section 1(1) of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 (i.e. a course of conduct which amounts to harassment) and the course of conduct amounts to stalking.
This means that there has to be a course of conduct which amounts to harassment and that particular harassment can be described as stalking behaviour.
A course of conduct is the same as defined under section 7 of the PHA 1997 and referred to elsewhere in this guidance.
Definition of stalking
Stalking is not legally defined but section 2A (3) of the PHA 1997 lists a number of examples of behaviours associated with stalking. The list is not an exhaustive one but gives an indication of the types of behaviour that may be displayed in a stalking offence. The listed behaviours are:
(a) following a person,
(b) contacting, or attempting to contact, a person by any means,
(c) publishing any statement or other material relating or purporting to relate to a person, or purporting to originate from a person,
(d) monitoring the use by a person of the internet, email or any other form of electronic communication,
(e) loitering in any place (whether public or private),
(f) interfering with any property in the possession of a person,
(g) watching or spying on a person.
Section 2A is a summary offence and a person guilty of the offence of stalking is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or a fine.
As a summary only offence, the section 2A offence requires an information or complaint to be laid within 6 months from the time when the offence was committed, or the matter of complaint arose. The 6 months' limitation should run from the last date of the course of conduct alleged.
An integral part of the stalking offence is establishing that harassment has taken place. In determining whether the defendant ought to know that the course of conduct amounts to harassment, the question to be considered is whether a reasonable person in possession of the same information would think the course of conduct amounted to harassment of the other."
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/stalking_and_harassment/#a03d
Cyber stalking
"Harassment can take place on the internet and through the misuse of email. This is sometimes known as 'cyberstalking'. This can include the use of social networking sites, chat rooms and other forums facilitated by technology. The internet can be used for a range of purposes relating to harassment, for example:
>to locate personal information about a victim;
>to communicate with the victim;
>as a means of surveillance of the victim;
>identity theft such as subscribing the victim to services, purchasing goods and services in their name;
>damaging the reputation of the victim;
>electronic sabotage such as spamming and sending viruses; or
>tricking other internet users into harassing or threatening a victim.
Further guidance can be found in Communications Offences, elsewhere in the Legal Guidance."
http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/s_to_u/stalking_and_harassment/#a05a
*****
20. Where communications target a specific individual and the offence of blackmail is made out, prosecutors should seek to prosecute the substantive offence.
21. Again, where there is evidence of discrimination, prosecutors should pay particular regard to the provisions of section 28-32 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and section 145 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (increase in sentences for racial and religious aggravation) and section 146 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (increase in sentences for aggravation related to disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity)."

More Propaganda From John Brown And Co. - Although Some Are Learning, Some Are Not
23 February 2013 Last updated at 02:23
Police detections of child porn images increases by 48%
"The number of detected crimes of people accessing illegal images of children has gone up by 48% in four years, according to research by BBC News.
The figures are for England and Wales and show the increase between 2007-11.
A charity which works with offenders to stop them accessing images said there were many more offenders and that it was impossible to arrest everyone.
The Home Office said it was working with the police and industry to make the internet a safer place [sic].
The figures were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act from the 34 police forces in England and Wales that were able to provide data for the crimes of possession of an indecent or pseudo photograph of a child and possessing prohibited images of children.
In 2007, 919 crimes were detected by the police, however in 2011, this had risen to 1,362.
For crimes that were reported to the police, the increase was 46%.
The figures were analysed and verified by the chairman of the Crime and Justice Statistics Network, Professor Allan Brimicombe."

Research with internet offenders
"Initial research findings into the motivations, behaviour and actions of people who view indecent images of children (often referred to as child pornography) have been released by the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.
The qualitative research involved hearing from Internet Offenders in their own words about what prompted them to begin viewing indecent images of children; how their illegal behaviour developed over time; methods used to find and view images; potential strategies for desisting; and how they are managing this behaviour at present.
It is hoped the research will lead to the development and implementation of new strategies to tackle the global problem of indecent images of children, in particular to prevent the first viewing of child sexual abuse images.

Should People Who Look at Child Porn Go to Prison for Thousands of Years or Only Hundreds?
"The NBC affiliate in West Palm Beach, Florida, reports that MT, a 50-year-old engineer caught with child pornography on his computer, "could face more than 3,000 years of jail time." More amazing than the remote possibility that T's mummified corpse will be retained by the Florida Department of Corrections for the next three millennia is the virtual certainty that he will spend the rest of his life in prison unless he successfully appeals his sentence."
"Remember when 152 years for possessing child pornography seemed like a lot? I considered the mentality underlying such penalties in the July 2011 issue of Reason."

Paedo [sic] hunters
"Video vigilantes snare ‘perverts’ in sting
TWO self-styled paedophile [sic] hunters have shamed a string of alleged online perverts.
The vigilante duo’s work has even led to the arrest of a suspected child sex predator.
The men pose as girls aged 14 and 15 on dating websites and arrange to meet blokes who show an interest. They then video their confrontations with respondents and post the footage online to shame them."
"Police said the man arrested on suspicion of inciting a minor to engage in sexual activity is on bail.
They are looking for those behind the videos and discouraged “vigilantism” as it may affect investigations."

"“We are working to identify the people featured in the videos and will investigate robustly any offences identified. In addition, we are also trying to identify the person who has posted them online and are working with internet service providers with a view to having the footage removed.”
She added: “We do not encourage vigilantism of this kind and would warn those who take this approach that they could be breaking the law. They could also be disrupting criminal investigations and compromising the safety of vulnerable victims who would be best protected by the police."

Delays to reforms to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
"We're disappointed to announce that this morning we've received notification from the Government that the changes to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, due to come into force in Spring 2013, have been delayed. The Ministry of Justice provided us with the following:
"As you know, the commencement of the reforms are dependent on the necessary system changes being in place so that basic disclosure certificates for England and Wales will reflect the new rehabilitation periods. We had been aiming to commence the reforms by April 2013, however, it will not be possible to achieve the necessary system changes by that date and we are now looking at commencement in November.""

Perhaps Not Everything, Maura

Sex case defendants 'should get anonymity'
"Maura McGowan - When a defendant is convicted "everything [sic] should be open" says Maura McGowan
Suspects in sex cases should have their identities protected until they are convicted, a senior lawyer has said.
Maura McGowan QC, chairman of the Bar Council of England and Wales, said defendants should get the same right to anonymity as complainants.
She wants the change because sexual allegations carry "such a stigma".
But the charity Rape Crisis said anonymity for defendants would discourage people from reporting sex crimes and "victimise victims [sic] further".
Ms McGowan told the Stephen Nolan Show on BBC Radio 5 live: "Until they have been proven to have done something as awful as this, I think there is a strong argument in cases of this sort - because they carry such stigma with them - to maintain the defendant's anonymity."

MP: ‘ACPO Is Past Its Sell By Date’
"Conservative MP launches broadside at association – and Policing Minister says its future is in the hands of members
The future of ACPO remains a matter for its members alone – and all government funding to the association has now ceased, the Policing Minster has re-iterated.
Addressing colleagues in the House of Commons, Damian Green praised the professional body for their help in establishing the College of Policing, but that the way forward now rested with the chief officers themselves.
Mr Green was speaking after a question from fellow Conservative member Julian Smith, who maintained that ACPO was “well past its sell-by date”.
Mr Smith asserted: “(The Association) seems to spend more of its time protecting its members than helping the government with their reform programme.”"

'Jon Venables Twitter Photo' Investigation
"The Attorney General is investigating after a photo posted on Twitter apparently revealed the identity of killer Jon Venables.
A picture purporting to show the new identity of one of the killers of toddler James Bulger has been posted on Twitter, prompting an investigation.
The image is supposed to show Jon Venables, who was jailed along with his friend Robert Thompson for killing the youngster in a crime that appalled the nation 20 years ago this week.
In the picture, the man identified as Venables is seen smiling, apparently at a birthday party.
Venables was given a new identity after being released from prison for James' murder in 2001. There is a worldwide ban on publishing anything that would identify him as Jon Venables."

Will Google be forced to police online comments? Judge in Blogger.com libel case 'opens door' for internet giant being required to monitor users' posts
"Google says Blogger is blank wall and it isn't responsible for writings online,
But appeal court hears it's arguable Google is 'publisher' in defamation law,
Legal expert: 'Another court could run with these comments in the future',
Long-running case involves student Payam Tamiz who was vilified online."
"‘The court did rule that it was arguable that Google was a "publisher" in defamation law, and therefore responsible for defamatory comments once notified of them.
‘Google in fact won this case, because even if it had been potentially liable under defamation law, the offending comment only had a "trivial" effect.
‘The ruling does, however, open the door for a future case where a court might take up the comments of the Court of Appeal in this case and run with them.
‘But we are not there yet. In the meantime, Google and other similar companies will rightly be worried that they may be liable in similar future cases.’
A Google spokesman told MailOnline: 'Google helps spread knowledge, enabling people to find out about almost anything by typing a few words into a computer.
'And services like Blogger, YouTube and Google+ help users to express themselves and share different points of view. Where content is illegal or violates our terms of service we will continue to remove it.'"

The plan announced by the government for a Royal Charter – which is an edict handed down by the monarch as opposed to a law created by parliament or handed down by a judge – has fiercely divided opinion, both in parliament as well as among the commentariat."

Understandably this has raised ethical questions about internet privacy. How much data should firms be allowed to hold about Internet privacy?"

My research agenda
"Laws and concepts which were developed in an analogue world may have little or no relevance in the online world or they may cause disproportionate difficulties. How can we develop a jurisprudence and legal processes which can keep up with the times? Alternatively would someone be willing to say how many extra courtrooms we should build, how many extra judges, legal clerks, lawyers and para legals we need to recruit and how many extra prisons we need to build and provide with staff in order to stick with the old ways, developed when the world was a very different place?"

Antonella Sounds A Bit Like Anthony
This is The Sun's 'journalist', Antonella Lazzeri ...
As a few of The Sun's usual suspects are 'out of action', presently, Antonella has been drafted in, once again, to spread her typical disinforming, lying and sensationalist muck.
