It seems the saying – ‘A leopard never changes its spots’, applies to serial rapists like this. Some people will ALWAYS remain a menace to others, or the environment, despite the punishment allowed under the Human Rights Legislation. Castration would be the only safe recourse here. Keeping them in prison just costs money and does nothing to reform their behaviour.
Should of left him at the bottom of the ravine for the crows to eat him
Why on earth was he released after 7 years when he was given 53 years. Seems absurd.
