Families hit out at ‘disgusting’ sentence for Newport paedophile [sic]
"THE families of children abused by a paedophile [sic] who avoided a jail sentence because of his low intelligence said they are disgusted with his sentence.
CL, 40, Newport, was found guilty by a jury last year of committing seven charges of indecent assault against a girl under 13, and one charge of sexual assault on another girl under 13.
The offences against two victims took place between April 2001 and 2010 before L was arrested in November 2011.
Yesterday, Cardiff Crown Court heard Lee did not appear at the trial in person after psychiatrists found he was not intelligent enough to give evidence, instruct counsel or mount a defence."

Repeat Offenses Are Very Rare
MON JAN 28, 2013
The Civil Rights of Sex Offenders
"Residential limits are so strict that sex offenders have no choice but to be homeless or violate parole and return to prison. That's according to lawsuits filed against several cities and the State of California. Repeat offenses are very rare, but voter-approved penalties last a lifetime. We hear how a chamber-of-commerce "man of the year" was ruined 30 years after committing a sex crime.
Also, in another symptom of changing demographics, a Latino gang drives a black family out of the city of Compton.
On our rebroadcast of To the Point, the GOP and the lessons of last year's elections."

Bill Aims To Prevent Group Living By Convicted Sex Offenders
"Keeping convicted sex offenders away from each other is the aim of a newly filed bill in the Alabama Legislature.
State Rep. Mike Ball (R-Madison) is among a group of lawmakers who are targeting so-called sex offender “clusters” that are often near children. If passed, House Bill 85 would prohibit convicted sex offenders from living at the same residence, preventing community living that Ball said has gotten out of hand in many parts of the state. The bill would also require that all sex offenders live at least 500 feet away from each other.
Ball said several Alabama communities have been hampered by groups of sex offenders living together in closely condensed places like motels and apartment complexes."

NSPCC: Porn video a 'stark reminder' of risks [sic] on internet
"It's good that Twitter has acted quickly in this case, but it's a stark reminder [sic] that social media platforms are not always safe [sic] for young people.
It's vital small children are supervised on the internet and are educated about staying safe [sic] as they get older.
There is a very real danger [sic] in terms of online pornography facing our children and it's not going to go away. From technology companies to parents, we must all play our part in keeping young people safe [sic] online.

"Give me my porn back" - Bristol man takes police to court to get collection returned
"A DISABLED man with a liking for pornography took the police to court to demand they return his huge collection of explicit adult movies.
Police arrested AG, right, three times on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children, seizing six PCs and laptops."
"At the appeal hearing, Judge Julian Lambert, sitting with magistrates Simon Brookes and Chris Barke, found in favour of the police and dismissed Mr G's appeal.
The law states that if it is not "practicable" to separate offending images from where they are stored, the item should be forfeited to the police.""
"Digital evidence recovery officer Scott Eggins told the court: "Deletion in a computer sense is a very complicated matter. There is no such thing as a permanent deletion on computers unfortunately – or fortunately. There is no way of permanently deleting it, short of putting it through a shredder.""
"After viewing the questionable images, Judge Lambert and the justices ruled that, on the balance of probabilities , the images were "indecent" [What???] and showed eight girls and three boys under 18.
Mr G, who said he only had £100 in savings, was ordered to pay £1,533 costs.
Judge Lambert said: "We see no way, on the evidence in front of us, that the hard drives could be returned to the appellant with the images deleted so that they cannot be recovered."
After the case, Mr G said: "If they had just been able to delete the images and give me my computers back it would've saved a lot of court time and money. I'm gutted, but I've had my day in court and I thought the judge was very fair.""

Scott - provide us with a HD, with 11 identified images, amongst all the other data, and we will delete them. Then, under observation, by us, you can show us how you are able to retrieve them (you will fail, of course - if you cannot, 'we' cannot), but then, you are economical with the truth in court - shameful.

"No, this "Digital evidence recovery officer Scott Eggins" is full of shiat. You can absolutely wipe data without the ability for it to ever be recovered - and it's not even hard or complicated. There are, in fact, simple, free, open-source tools which will allow you do do exactly that within seconds for the amount of files he's talking about.
One of my home media servers is an old Intel "Entry Server" and to install a new HDD you have to wipe the drive to all 0's before it can be integrated into the RAID array. To do so I got a couple pieces of software which will also do something like 36-pass overwrite/deletions which will render whatever it's overwriting utterly and irrevocably deleted.
There are exactly two explanations for this expert saying this:
1. He knows better and he's lying.
2. He doesn't know any better - in which case he has absolutely no business filling that position."

What Happens When Data Is Overwritten?
"When data is overwritten, the magnetic domains on the HDD are re-magnetized. This is an irreversible process that physically removes information previously stored in this location.
While some residual physical traces of the changes (or none changes) in magnetization potentially remain, which may theoretically allow a partial restore, this would require the use of a magnetic force microscope or similar technologies, none of which have been shown to recover data successfully so far [although you never know what’s going on in secret government intelligence labs].
So in essence, there is no software or other technical way known to the public that can restore overwritten data."

‘Isle of paedos’
"Wight jails to hold only sex offenders
ONE of Britain’s favourite holiday hotspots is set to hold ONLY sex offenders in its jails.
Two prisons on the Isle of Wight — Albany and Parkhurst — house mostly rapists and paedophiles [sic].
And any cons who are locked up for non-sex crimes are now being switched to sites on the mainland.
The island’s third jail, Camp Hill, is to close in April as part of a Government cost-cutting drive — meaning the Isle of Wight’s prison population of approximately 1,100 lags will be solely made up of perverts [very offensive].
One dismayed resident said: “They are turning us into Paedo Island. This is going to have such a damaging effect on the island."

Pedophilia, Preemptive Imprisonment, and the Ethics of Predisposition
"The first two weeks of 2013 were marked by a flurry of news articles considering “the new science” of pedophilia [sic]. Alan Zarembo’s article for the Los Angeles Times focused on the increasing consensus among researchers that pedophilia [sic] is a biological predisposition similar to heterosexuality or homosexuality. Rachel Aviv’s piece for The New Yorker shed light upon the practice of ‘civil commitment’ in the US, a process by which inmates may be kept in jail past their release date if a panel decides that they are at risk of molesting a child (even if there is no evidence that they have in the past). The Guardian’s Jon Henley quoted sources suggesting that perhaps some pedophilic [sic] relationships aren’t all that harmful after all. And Rush Limbaugh chimed in comparing the ‘normalization’ of pedophilia [sic] to the historical increase in the acceptance of homosexuality, suggesting that recognizing pedophilia [sic] as a sexual orientation would be tantamount to condoning child molestation."

Why Aren't We Doing More To Stop Child Pornography Before It Starts?
"This weekend's New York Times Magazine cover on restitution for victims of child pornograpy
Talk about emotional whiplash. Two weeks ago in The New Yorker, Rachel Aviv wrote about John, a socially awkward veteran who was ensnared in an Internet child-sex sting in the late 1990s. He was convicted of persuading a child to have sex with him (although no sex happened—the supposed child was really a cop) as well as possession of child pornography. After his release, he landed back in jail on another child porn charge. Nearing completion of that sentence, despite a lack of evidence that he had ever molested a child himself, he was subject to a legal procedure known as civil commitment, which allows sex offenders to be detained beyond their prison terms on the grounds that they’re likely to harm again. Aviv never suggests that child pornography is a victimless crime, but you’re left with the feeling that John doesn’t quite deserve to be jailed indefinitely."

Barry George, who was wrongly jailed for murdering Jill Dando, has lost his High Court bid for compensation.
Two judges rejected his claim that the Justice Secretary unfairly and unlawfully decided he was "not innocent enough to be compensated"."

*****
133 Compensation for miscarriages of justice.
(1)Subject to subsection (2) below, when a person has been convicted of a criminal offence and when subsequently his conviction has been reversed or he has been pardoned on the ground that a new or newly discovered fact shows beyond reasonable doubt that there has been a miscarriage of justice, the Secretary of State shall pay compensation for the miscarriage of justice to the person who has suffered punishment as a result of such conviction or, if he is dead, to his personal representatives, unless the non-disclosure of the unknown fact was wholly or partly attributable to the person convicted.
(2)No payment of compensation under this section shall be made unless an application for such compensation has been made to the Secretary of State."
Criminal Justice Act 1988
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/33/part/XI/crossheading/miscarriages-of-justice/enacted
Supreme Court (previously House of Lords) considered this in the Adams case ...
"The mere quashing of a conviction did not prove innocence and could not be the trigger for compensation.
The circumstances in which a conviction could be quashed on the basis of fresh evidence could be divided into four categories:
(i) where the fresh evidence clearly showed that the defendant was innocent;
(ii) where the fresh evidence was such that, had it been available at the time of the trial, no reasonable jury could properly have convicted;
(iii) where the fresh evidence rendered the conviction unsafe because, had it been available at the time of the trial, a reasonable jury might or might not have convicted;
(iv) where something had gone seriously wrong in the investigation of the offence or the conduct of the trial, resulting in the conviction of somebody who should not have been convicted."

(1)Subject to subsection (2) below, when a person has been convicted of a criminal offence and when subsequently his conviction has been reversed or he has been pardoned on the ground that a new or newly discovered fact shows beyond reasonable doubt that there has been a miscarriage of justice, the Secretary of State shall pay compensation for the miscarriage of justice to the person who has suffered punishment as a result of such conviction or, if he is dead, to his personal representatives, unless the non-disclosure of the unknown fact was wholly or partly attributable to the person convicted.
(2)No payment of compensation under this section shall be made unless an application for such compensation has been made to the Secretary of State."
Criminal Justice Act 1988
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/33/part/XI/crossheading/miscarriages-of-justice/enacted
Supreme Court (previously House of Lords) considered this in the Adams case ...
"The mere quashing of a conviction did not prove innocence and could not be the trigger for compensation.
The circumstances in which a conviction could be quashed on the basis of fresh evidence could be divided into four categories:
(i) where the fresh evidence clearly showed that the defendant was innocent;
(ii) where the fresh evidence was such that, had it been available at the time of the trial, no reasonable jury could properly have convicted;
(iii) where the fresh evidence rendered the conviction unsafe because, had it been available at the time of the trial, a reasonable jury might or might not have convicted;
(iv) where something had gone seriously wrong in the investigation of the offence or the conduct of the trial, resulting in the conviction of somebody who should not have been convicted."

Islington gran keeps children at home for fear of paedophile [sic] attacks
"A woman’s desperation to protect her three grandchildren from a predatory paedophile [sic] has led to her being threatened with prosecution for keeping them out of school.
The grandmother claims the children – the youngest aged just six – have been “groomed” by her daughter’s sex-offender ex-boyfriend and is refusing to let them leave the house alone.
She stepped in to look after the youngsters because of their mother’s alcohol and drugs problem and says she lives in permanent fear that the paedophile [sic] – only recently released from prison after sexually assaulting a young child – will target them.
Now she is bidding to convince three Appeal Court judges that Islington Council – which has written to her threatening prosecution if she doesn’t send the children to school – is unreasonably refusing to recognise the severe risk of abuse."

Child pornography offender seeks to keep identity secret
"A man jailed for child pornography offences is at severe risk of suicide if he is named publicly, the High Court in Belfast has heard. As he sought to ban the media from revealing his identity, a judge was told the level of threat had been assessed as “immense”.
A lawyer for a court reporter defending the proceedings warned of the potential consequences for open justice.
Convicted paedophiles [sic] and murderers could also try to stop their details being disclosed if anonymity was granted, the defence claimed."

Court: Sex offender Facebook ban unconstitutional
"An Indiana law barring most registered sex offenders from using social networking sites such as Facebook is unconstitutional, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The law that bans sex offenders from using sites they know allow access to youths under the age of 18 is too broad, a three-judge panel determined, and "prohibits substantial protected speech."
To be upheld, the appeals court found, such a law needs to be more specifically tailored to target "the evil of improper communication to minors."
The ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Chicago overturned a June decision by a district court judge in Indianapolis that upheld the law enacted by the legislature in 2008.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed a class-action suit challenging the law on behalf of sex offenders, including a man identified only as John Doe who served three years for child exploitation. The offenders were all restricted by the ban even though they had served their sentences and are no longer on probation.
"We reverse the district court and hold that the law as drafted is unconstitutional," judges Joel M. Flaum, John D. Tinder and John J. Tharp Jr. wrote in the ruling."

U.S. Attorney announces new initiative to combat child porn
"U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett discusses new initiative targeting child porn offenders. Prosecutors recently charged five Indy-area men with child porn possession or distribution in January.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of our children, and that means that our policy on child pornography and child exploitation is quite simple: zero tolerance,” said U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett.
At first glance, the five men bear little resemblance to each other.
One is a 23-year-old from New Palestine. Another, a 42-year-old from Noblesville. The rest come from all over Indianapolis.
But all of them are now charged with possessing or distributing child porn — part of a widespread new initiative announced by the U.S. Attorney’s office Tuesday.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of our children, and that means that our policy on child pornography and child exploitation is quite simple: zero tolerance,” said U.S. Attorney Joseph Hogsett. “Zero tolerance to us means there is no acceptable amount of this type of behavior. Zero tolerance means that we don’t care if you were the producer of these disgusting materials. Zero tolerance means it doesn’t matter to us if you’re part of an international conspiracy or simply a conspiracy of want. Zero tolerance.”"

Future Political Speculation
"On August 15, 2012, the Indianapolis Star published a piece entitled, "Is U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett eyeing a run at Indianapolis mayor?"
The profile notes that Hogsett's visibility and successes as U.S. Attorney have fueled speculation of a return to politics in Indiana, citing both the 2015 mayoral election in Indianapolis and the 2016 U.S. Senate race as possibilities.
Hogsett received especially strong praise from former U.S. Senator Evan Bayh, who described Hogsett as "a wonderful representative for the Democratic Party and the people of Indiana.""

Restrictions ... call for internet ban
"FOR years we have been campaigning [whining] for an automatic ban on internet use by those placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register [sure, that is going to happen ... oh, wait, it does, under SOPOs, where relevant !!!].
If the offenders have a legitimate [sic] need to use the internet then they should have to prove it [giggle] and be monitored in their restricted use of it.
Now, from California, comes a step in the right direction [apparently not].
They have recently passed a new law — Proposition 35 — which requires registered sex offenders to inform the authorities of their email addresses, user names, screen names and any other internet handles, and report any additions or changes to their internet use within 24 hours.
Sadly, the law was immediately challenged by campaigners who claim it should not apply to those whose offences were not connected to the internet, and a federal judge has issued a temporary order putting the law on hold."

Judge blocks sex offender online-ID law
"A federal judge on Friday barred California from enforcing a voter-approved law that requires 73,000 registered sex offenders to disclose their Internet identities to police.
The requirement would discourage offenders from exercising their right to post anonymous comments online about a variety of topics, including social and political issues, with little apparent benefit to public safety, said U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson of San Francisco.
"Registrants are likely to be chilled from engaging in legitimate public, political and civil communications for fear of losing their anonymity," Henderson said."

Prisoners win big payouts for parole delays
"A backlog in sentence reviews has led to compensation claims of up to £9,000 each
Murderers, rapists and kidnappers [that will be, victims] have received compensation totalling hundreds of thousands of pounds from the Government after complaining that delays in their parole hearings breached their human rights.
The Parole Board has admitted that a backlog of cases has forced it to pay out more than £300,000 in the past three years to compensate scores of prisoners for "distress" caused by the delays.
The total bill for compensation in 2012 was more than £100,000 and includes a £9,000 payout to a murderer who sued the authorities when they missed the deadline for deciding whether he should be freed on parole.
The Parole Board yesterday blamed the soaring costs on the increased workload caused by Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences introduced in 2003. But a Conservative MP said the figures were "an indictment" of the justice system. "The public will be astonished that people like murderers and rapists [that will be, victims] can make a profit from proceedings designed to help them get out of prison early," said the Shipley MP Philip Davies. "This is not about wrongful imprisonment. [yawn]""

Three reasons to be cheerful

‘Work of genius’ lost in obscurity
"Heretic TOC yesterday meant to cover a further aspect of “Three reasons to be cheerful” but ran out of time and space. Well, I say ran out of space: I suppose a blog page can stretch to infinity but I doubt the same can be said for readers’ patience.
I had wanted to elaborate on one of the sources used by Jon Henley in his Guardian article. He refers to J Michael Bailey of Northwestern University: “… writing last year in the peer-reviewed Archives of Sexual Behaviour, Bailey said…he was forced to recognise that ‘persuasive evidence for the harmfulness of paedophilic relationships does not yet exist’.
What Henley did not reveal is that Bailey’s article in the Archives was a review of my book Michael Jackson’s Dangerous Liaisons."

What Henley did not reveal is that Bailey’s article in the Archives was a review of my book Michael Jackson’s Dangerous Liaisons."

Jury sides with defendant in sex abuse suit
"A former substitute teacher convicted of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old student escaped civil liability for her offense when a Wisconsin jury decided she did not intend to harm the boy, despite her "extreme and outrageous" conduct.
A forensic psychologist who testified as an expert for the plaintiffs said he's never seen such a result in thousands of sexual abuse and sexual misconduct cases he's been involved in around the country."

Number of child sex website detections 'quadruple'
"THE number of web pages identified by Australian authorities as containing child sex abuse material [sic] has quadrupled since 2006.
There was a 20 per cent rise in such pages detected in 2012 alone, they say.
Yet online child pornography remains accessible to Australian pedophiles [sic], in part because of the nation's light-handed approach to internet censorship [sic].
Senior federal detectives say an increasing number of child sex abuse websites [sic] are being created, mostly overseas, by highly-organised networks [sic] using rapidly-evolving technology aimed at protecting their anonymity."
"The internet user said the website had an "innocuous" looking internet address.
"I clicked into the main site to see who these people were and found an entire Wiki (a website developed collaboratively by users) of info designed to assist pedophiles [sic] in avoiding detection," the person wrote [sic].
There have been around 16 pedophile [sic] "advocacy websites" - visible in Australia - investigated since 2008, including four in 2012 and six in 2009. [well, sorry about Free Speech, lobbying, advocacy, and all that]

Barry was sentenced to life in prison in 1976 for murdering a man, a random stranger who'd refused him a light for his cigarette. He didn't think of himself as a sex offender. He is a voyeur – "That's my thing. I like to look" – and has never been convicted of a sexual offence. [ah, the good old days]"

'Sexting' can produce child porn charges
"The perils of "sexting" -- sending sexually explicit messages and photographs by cellphone -- include potential criminal prosecution, according to Berkshire Second Assistant District Attorney Robert W. Kinzer III.
As the head of the DA’s computer crime unit, which includes several state troopers, Kinzer cited "kids, young adults, even adults who think it is a good idea to take nude or semi-nude photos of themselves on their cellphones and send them to other people via text message." "

Idaho AG, police seek $2M to fight child porn
"Attorney General Lawrence Wasden and Idaho police want $2 million in new state funding to help them boost enforcement against child pornography crimes, arguing many of those who produce, view or share such illicit material are also abusing kids — but remain at large.
Even so, Idaho's courts have recommended studying the impacts of adding to fees or fines to pay for new programs before further taxing a system struggling to collect what's already owed."

Children being raised in 'captivity' due to health and safety paranoia
"Children are being raised in captivity because of growing “paranoia” about health and safety, a former Government adviser has warned."
"The comments – in a speech to the North of England Education Conference in Sheffield – come amid fears that growing exposure on technology and irrational fear over “stranger danger” is stopping children enjoying outdoor play."
"But Prof Byron, a child psychologist and author, who carried out a Government review into the effect of video games and the internet on young people, said parental concerns had reached “insane” levels"
"Today's children are "hugely, hugely restricted", she told delegates."
"She said: “There are no more predators on the streets, no more paedophiles, then when I was growing up in the 1970s.”"

Oldfield's own relentlessly bleak and joyless pro-paedo blog is
http://therealosc.blogspot.co.uk - he's an arsehole [how rude] and him and the shrill Absolute Zero, PeeJ et al team all deserve each other - there are so many similarities I can see in this shit to the whole pathetic fascist and anti-fascist mess and how they like to meet round the back where their tiny circle closes too. Mental disorder, puerile obsession and people who don't leave the house enough.
I think Sotos has become more interesting over the years simply because he's become a really fucking great writer and someone whose work will be read and remembered for many years to come. There are more than enough human train wrecks in the world, they're in the news every day."

Oh ... Anthony, Anthony, Anthony ... Corruption !!!
Fucked, Whatever The Outcome
11:10AM GMT 17 Jan 2013
Operation Elveden: Sun's crime reporter arrested over alleged corrupt payments
"Anthony France, the Sun’s crime reporter has been arrested by detectives investigating illegal payments to public officials, sources at the newspaper have confirmed."
"Mr France was arrested at his home in Hertfordshire on suspicion of conspiracy to corrupt and conspiracy to cause misconduct in a public office, and was taken to a north London police station for questioning.
Mr France joined the Sun in 2004 and has been responsible for a string of exclusive stories.
One of his first scoops was an undercover investigation which exposed serious security flaws at the Palace of Westminster.
The day after hunt protestors stormed the House of Commons, Mr France revealed how he was able to smuggle a fake bomb into the building.
Having landed a job as a waiter, using fake references, he was able to gain access to secure parts of Westminster bringing him into close contact with senior politicians including the then Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott.
Just two weeks ago Mr France revealed how five Scotland Yard officers involved in the phone hacking and payments probe had been axed or forced to resign over alleged misconduct."

Spinning fabricated tales to The Sun ‘newspaper’ will not stop anti-corruption campaign
"The Sun has no credibility left in real journalism and even covered up corruption in Nottinghamshire Police in 2011 – a fact Simon Tomlin uncovered when he spoke to ‘crime’ reporter Anthony France at Wapping.
Anthony France was arrested just weeks ago on suspicion of bribing corrupt police officers and public officials. We are told France is trying to strike a deal with the Metropolitan Police to avoid criminal prosecution."

A Child’s Right To Dignity And Privacy
January 16 2013 at 07:49am
Judge okays child sex
"Pretoria - It is no longer a criminal offence for children aged between 12 and 16 to engage in consensual sexual activities with each other, the Pretoria High Court ruled on Tuesday.
Judge Pierre Rabie’s ruling follows an application last April by the Teddy Bear Clinic for Abused Children, supported by the Centre for Child Law, challenging certain provisions of the Sexual Offences Act.
The two organisations argued the Act often resulted in many underage pregnant girls not wanting to have abortions at clinics, as this would lead to criminal charges against them and their partners.
They requested the court to declare certain provisions unconstitutional as they infringed on a child’s right to dignity and privacy."

That Old Nutmeg

ACPO comment on Operation Nutmeg
"Police forces across the country are working to ensure that individuals, convicted of the most serious [sic] offences, have their DNA samples loaded and cross checked on the national DNA database.
ACPO lead on the DNA database, Amanda Cooper said
“Police forces across the country are working to ensure that individuals convicted of the most serious [sic] offences have their DNA samples loaded and cross checked on the national DNA database. A 12-month programme of work, Operation Nutmeg, commenced in September to ensure that the national DNA database comprehensively covers all individuals convicted of serious [sic] sex offences or homicide.
“The sampling specifically targets those who have served their time for those serious [sic] offences and are back in the community but have not had a DNA sample loaded onto the database since it was created in 1995."

Means Nothing Until 'Abusive' Goes, As Well
14 January 2013 Last updated at 23:05
'Insulting words' crime ditched
"Theresa May Mrs May told MPs that free speech needed to be balanced with action against widespread offence
The crime of "insulting" someone through words or behaviour, which once led to the arrest of a student for asking a police officer whether his horse was gay, is to be dropped.
Home Secretary Theresa May confirmed to MPs that the government would not seek to overturn a Lords amendment scrapping the ban.
The director of public prosecutions has said it will not hinder his work.
But Labour warned that it could remove protections for minority groups.
Section 5 of the 1986 Public Order Act currently means that "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour" might be deemed a criminal offence."

The director of public prosecutions has said it will not hinder his work.
But Labour warned that it could remove protections for minority groups.
Section 5 of the 1986 Public Order Act currently means that "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour" might be deemed a criminal offence."

"Looking at past cases, the Director of Public Prosecutions could not identify any where the behaviour leading to a conviction could not be described as “abusive” as well as “insulting”."

Cassidy: Facebook is part of a high-tech posse fighting child pornography
"Emily Vacher's work at Facebook offers a jarring juxtaposition to the Menlo Park company's whimsically decorated cubicles and upbeat, thumbs-up logo. She is the force behind the effort to stop pedophiles from sharing child pornography on the world's biggest social networking site.
Think of it as Facebook CSI.
"What I'm good at," says Vacher, a former FBI agent, "and what I enjoy doing, is bringing these bad guys to justice.""

Circumcision Consent Forms Kosher in NYC
"Orthodox rabbis cannot perform a certain form of ritualistic circumcision without warning parents about the possibility of transmitting herpes, a federal judge ruled.
Metzitzah b'peh is the name given to a ritual involving oral suction of the blood from a circumcised penis.
City health officials estimate that 11 newborns contracted herpes from this practice since the department began tracking such cases in 2000.
Since infants have underdeveloped immune systems, herpes put 10 in the hospital, and killed one, the city says.
On Sept. 13, 2012, the New York City Board of Health amended its code to mandate the disclosure of health risks associated with the practice."

Japanese police considering lie-detector tests to find pedophiles in recruitment
"The National Police Agency is mulling over the use of a lie detector test as part of its recruitment process. The national newspaper Asahi Shimbun reported that the polygraph will only be used on applicants who will consent to undergoing such test, so as to avoid any accusations that the agency is invading the privacy of such individuals [no test, no job, matey]. The main thrust of the measure is to weed out possible sex offenders and potential criminals.
Polygraph machines measure and record the physiological reactions of the person in response to certain questions posed to them. Supporters of polygraphs in general said that when a person tells a lie it is very difficult to hide or control certain mannerisms that the body does. According to the report, the recruiters will analyze the reactions of the applicants when asked about their thoughts on pedophilia and their level of interest in molestation. The newspaper has quoted a senior police officer saying that the idea came about because “scandals were repeatedly committed by people who apparently lacked the skills required of policemen.”"

Interior Minister Calls for Surveillance of Pedophiles [sic]
"A bill is awaiting the first round of discussions in Alþingi, the Icelandic parliament, which authorizes surveillance of pedophiles [sic] after they have served their sentences. Minister of the Interior Ögmundur Jónasson submitted the bill in November.
“I’m hoping that the bill can become law within a few weeks. We have made this matter absolute priority,” Ögmundur told Fréttablaðið.
According to the bill, convicted pedophiles [sic] can be monitored electronically, among other methods, and their dwellings and medical treatment can be determined if deemed likely that they will commit further crimes.
Ögmundur said the surveillance must be determined by a judge before the convicts complete their sentences. “It will never be the decision of the police or prison authorities.”

Cameron Rejects Making Age Of Consent 14
"The Prime Minister rules out a suggestion to lower the age of consent, which has been 16 since 1875.
David Cameron has dismissed the idea, floated by the Number 10 policy unit
David Cameron has rejected as "repulsive" a suggestion by officials that the age of sexual consent in Britain might be relaxed from 16 to 14.
The change was among ideas floated by the Number 10 policy unit after being asked to come up with new ways of giving the public more personal freedoms in everyday life."

Peter Tatchell: The UK should look at lowering the age of consent to 14
"The Number 10 Policy Unit recently proposed a reduction in the age of consent to 14.
It was dismissed by David Cameron.
Peter Tatchell and Jules Hillier of Brook, the youth advice centre, discussed the proposal on BBC Woman’s Hour. Both opposed the criminalisation of consenting relations between under-16s of similar ages. Peter Tatchell sets out reasons why consideration should be given to reducing the age of consent – providing it is accompanied by earlier, better quality sex and relationship education."
