“Crown Prosecution Service (UK): Discipline Judge Farrell and appeal against the lenient rape sentences”
Two men in Luton who raped an 11-year-old girl have been sentenced to just 40 months despite guidelines recommending a sentence between 8 – 13 years for those convicted of raping a child.

PETA hits another low
I can’t say “a new low”, because they already hit rock bottom with their PETA porn channel, where they planned to intercut pornography with images of animal cruelty.
