Sex pest banned from speaking to women for 10yrs
"A SEX pest has been banned from speaking to women for ten years.
DD, 56, could be jailed just for saying hello to a woman he does not know.
A judge imposed the ban after D admitted sexual assault. He walked up to a stranger at a bus stop, kissed her on the cheek and told her she was a “bonny lass”. But he then terrified the woman by making lewd suggestions and falsely claiming he was a rapist who had just been freed from prison."

Humiliating, unnecessary, unjust: The criminal record system is the modern equivalent of the stocks
"Almost everyone has broken the law at some point, but 'enhanced disclosure' can make the stigma of a criminal record impossible to overcome
An ex of mine once asked why I didn’t consider doing some teaching to supplement my income as a freelance journalist. I told him this could be tricky, given that I have a criminal record. He laughed, thinking I was joking, and it took me some time to convince him that I do indeed have a spent conditional discharge, plus a caution (both for shoplifting when I was a teenager, if you're interested). I think he was a bit shocked – but then, he was a lot more middle class than me, and probably unaware that one in four of the adult British population has a criminal record of some kind.
These crimes of mine would currently show up in an enhanced disclosure required for certain jobs – although maybe not for much longer, thanks to a recent ruling by the High Court, which could see an end to discrimination against those with minor, historic and irrelevant offences on their record.
Put your hands up if you’re a criminal too. Really? Are you sure? You’ve never done any drugs, pinched sweets as a kid or exceeded the speed limit as an adult? The reality is, most of us have broken the law at some stage, and whether or not we end up saddled with a record is more a question of luck – whether we got caught, basically.
For too long, too many decent people have had their career options limited by the enhanced disclosure process, where even convictions which are “spent” under the 1974 Rehabiliatation of Offenders Act are revealed for the purposes of certain jobs. Whilst having a record doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be employed as, say, a lawyer or a social worker, at the very least it causes unnecessary embarrassment and might create a false impression of someone’s character. In practice, many people don't even apply for jobs where they know their history will come to light, in some cases leading diminished lives and depriving our industries of potentially excellent employees."

British children 'sexually abused [sic] on social media by paedophiles [sic] overseas'
"British children are increasingly being sexually abused [sic] on social media by paedophiles [sic] in other countries, a senior police chief has warned, as a burgeoning “cottage industry” [sic] is now a key focus of the agency’s work.
"Sexual predators hack [sic] into their social networking accounts and blackmail [sic] children into carrying out acts of abuse [sic] over webcams without even being in the same country, Peter Davies, chief executive of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) centre, said."
"The warning comes after two brothers who sexually abused [sic] almost 80 children in the UK were jailed in Kuwait last month after an operation led by CEOP.
MA, 35, and his brother Y, 27, tricked [sic] 78 children aged 12 to 16 in the UK to give them their online passwords before threatening [sic] them into carrying out inappropriate sex acts via a webcam.
Both men were jailed for five years last month after being convicted of blackmail in relation to child sex abuse offences."

(1) The 'abuse' not illegal where the men reside,
(2) Blackmail is illegal (given any, actually, occurred),
(3) Giving someone your password is not being hacked,
(4) More of the usual disinformation and lies, from CEOP and The NSPCC.

Policewoman jailed for 15 months after trying to sell story to the News of the World
"A senior counter-terrorism detective who is the first person to be convicted under the fresh investigations into corruption and phone hacking was today jailed for 15 months.
Detective Chief Inspector April Casburn was sentenced at the Old Bailey after having been convicted of misconduct in public office for offering to sell information to the News of the World (NotW).
Mr Justice Fulford told her it was "a corrupt attempt to make money out of sensitive and potentially very damaging information"."
