25-Mar-2011 - Paedophile Scots trucker James Connor in Romanian Jail

25-Mar-2011 - Paedophile Scots trucker James Connor in Romanian Jail

Paedophile Scots trucker James Connor
bids to get out of Romanian jail


Mar 25 2011


PAEDOPHILE truck driver James Connor yesterday made a bid to get out of jail on bail pending an appeal.


Connor - serving eight years for a string of sex attacks on young boys - appeared in court in Romania to appeal his conviction.


Judges will decide within days whether the longdistance lorry driver, from Bellshill in Lanarkshire, should be freed on bail.


Despite having been caught red-handed, Connor told reporters at court that he had been framed because of a disagreement with police.


Wearing a grey beanie hat and a dark blue jacket, he said: "I had an issue with the police. I'd rather not say any more at the moment."


Connor lured young boys into his cab for sex by offering them cash, chocolate and sweets. He videoed the abuse and showed them porn.


The 33-year-old was caught by police in the Vaslui area of Romania in August last year with two boys - one of whom had been reported missing.


A laptop with pornographic images of children were found in the lorry's cabin.


Detectives had linked Connor with a dozen other cases but only prosecuted one case to save time.


He was sentenced last month to 22 years in jail but he will serve only eight years because the sentences run concurrently.


Connor has been locked up since Christmas in the Isai maximum security jail, home to Romania's sickest cons.


A Record investigation showed a horrific catalogue of child abuse stretching back two decades.

Child trafficking in Scotland is hidden scandal, says reportPolice criticised for failing to secure single conviction as group warns known cases are the tip of the iceberg

At least 80 children have been trafficked to Scotland to face sexual exploitation and other forms of abuse including forced labour, benefit fraud and domestic servitude, a report published on Monday says.


The findings conclude that these cases are the tip of an iceberg, with many more child victims who have been sold, stolen and transported thousands of miles remaining unidentified.


The report – Scotland: a safe place for child traffickers? – criticises police for failing to secure a single conviction for trafficking, and the authorities for their poor response to young victims' needs.


In November, it emerged that a young Nigerian girl had been trafficked to Scotland, held prisoner and gang-raped. Her case was just one of several documented by the Scottish Refugee Council.


Some of the children identified have been forced to work in cannabis factories and private homes and pose as dependents for benefit scams. They came from a number of countries including China, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Vietnam. The youngest was 14 years old.


Child trafficking has long been considered an issue of border control, the study said, leading to those who have been trafficked being regarded as part of a problem, rather than as victims.


Scotland's commissioner for children and young people, Tam Baillie, and the Centre for Rural Childhood at Perth College University of the Highlands and Islands produced the report, and made a number of urgent recommendations.


They called on the UK government to review the national referral mechanism to strengthen co-operation between government agencies, and to appoint an independent human trafficking rapporteur accountable to the UK parliament. The authors recommended the Scottish government should ensure adequate resources are available to tackle the problem and act as a lead for local authorities to ensure that nationally agreed procedures are followed consistently at a local level.


Baillie said: "When children are raped or exploited as slaves in households or businesses in Scotland it becomes our national scandal. When we fail to notice, fail to pick up the signs and fail to act on children's trauma, it demands action. I hope this report, the first of its kind in Scotland, will take the issue out into the open and result in action and change for child victims of trafficking."


Professor Rebecca Wallace, director of the centre for rural childhood at Perth College UHI, said the report's findings address the previous lack of an evidence base regarding child trafficking in Scotland. She added the study was an opportunity to "harness the very evident willingness of professionals encountered during the research to improve the identification and treatment of children trafficked into and within Scotland".

Call for an inquiry into the Groucho Club forum child pornography network

Hi,

I received the 'e'Mail below unsolicited and without clarification or caveat.

I am posting it in good faith but choose to add the caveat that I have made no effort to establish its veracity nor can I confirm or deny there is a link between The Soho Groucho Club and the web site in question and if there is a link whether it is witting or unwitting, deliberate or as a result of spammers.

These caveats in mind please establish the veracity for your own satisfaction BEFORE taking any action on the matter.

The eMail as received:

From:  mailto:allwholisten@gmail.com

Please request additional evidence if you are in any doubt


We are writing to you as a person of conscience who cares about the welfare and wellbeing of abused children and are asking you to support an inquiry into one of the largest child pornography networks in UK history operating on The Groucho Clubs web site forum. The Groucho Club website forum was operating on such a huge scale with 42,348 members 663,709 topics and 900,987 posts The discovery was reported to the Metropolitan Police Service and to CEOP by award winning filmmaker and writer Tyrone D Murphy who was investigating the clubs web site for chapter 13 of his book about the famous club.

The child pornographers were operating on the forum for almost a year and had thousands of posts made by child pornographers as late as September 2010. Much of the web pages and links were dedicated to photographs and videos of young children being made available for sex. The forum also had numerous other posts advertising videos and photography of RapeIncestBestiality and the rape of young Muslim children.

There is a massive cover up currently in place as the evidence is being destroyed as we write this. The Groucho Club forum pages were deleted quietly without informing the Police so action may have been taken against the child pornographers. Management of the Groucho club are the legal owners of the website and have completely ignored requests for information about the child pornography ring

A recent quote by Managing Director Mr Matthew Hobbs in the Guardian newspaper stated that the forum was "abused by Spammers "and he insisted that the problem arose "when we were switching servers from the old website" Clearly this was no simple spamming occurrence, it was a lengthy operation by a child pornography ring that were members of the Groucho Club forum and were posting gross and indecent material for almost a year unchallenged and unopposed.

Murphy, who won a libel action instigated against him by the Groucho Club has been writing a book about the Groucho Club for the past year and a half says "when you discover something so fundamentally wrong. So perverse you have a moral duty to put it right especially when the safety of children are concerned"

In order to prosecute those responsible for destroying the evidence it is crucial that a full independent inquiry is carried out. We would therefore ask to search your conscience and to support our call for a full independent inquiry of the case and to hold the management of the Groucho club accountable

Please send an email to allwholisten@gmail.com and make a comment to support the call for an independent inquiry.
Justice must not only be done it must be seen to be done

Thank you for your support

Martha May

06-Mar-2011 - Telegraph - Patrick SAWYER - Tim LOUGHTON MP on OMBUDSMAN

06-Mar-2011 - Telegraph - Patrick SAWYER - Tim LOUGHTON MP on OMBUDSMAN

Ombudsman could investigate child 'snatching' by courts
An independent Ombudsman could be appointed to investigate cases in which social workers and the courts are accused of taking children from their homes without justification.

Tim Loughton Photo: UPPA
Patrick Sawer 8:30AM GMT 06 Mar 2011
Tim Loughton, the children's minister, is considering the landmark step after he grew concerned over a number of cases where children have been wrongly taken and placed for adoption.


He says he has become aware of a minority of "very questionable judgments" made by the courts in a number of "highly contentious" cases.


Mr Loughton said: "There is work needed to make sure that the small number of cases which go horribly wrong, and are difficult to justify, are tackled as well, so that people feel the adoption system is doing the right thing for children.


"I am working hard with judges, local authorities, voluntary organisations and parents to find workable solutions – which could include some sort of Ombudsman-type role."


Parents whose children are removed by the family courts can already appeal to higher courts against the decision. Any move to introduce an Ombudsman would need to include a clear guidelines on the circumstances in which he or she could overrule judges' decisions.


A Department for Education spokesman said: "The minister knows there's a problem with a small number of cases and he is looking at how the system can be made to work better. One of the options that he has suggested is an Ombudsman type figure or mechanism."


The move follows claims by campaigners that social workers are too eager to take children into care in cases where there is little clear-cut evidence they have been abused by their parents. They also claim that secretive family courts too readily endorse the actions of social workers at the expense of children's best interests.


Mr Loughton has appointed Professor Eileen Munro to examine child protection and the way social workers operate. He has also set in motion the Norgrove review into the workings of the family courts, which is due to publish its interim report later this month.


One of the most controversial cases in the family courts involved Mark and Nicky Webster, whose three children were taken into care in 2004 after doctors claimed that leg fractures on the middle child had been inflicted deliberately.


They were adopted before new scientific evidence came to light suggesting that the boy could have been suffering from scurvy.


Yet in 2009 the Court of Appeal ruled that even though the decision to remove the children had been wrong, the adoptions were final. The couple were allowed to keep their fourth child.


Mrs Webster, 29, of Cromer, Norfolk, last night welcomed the Ombudsman proposal. She said: "Cases like ours need to be looked at to see if mistakes have been made and if they can be put right. Its important to have someone independent doing that away from the strong feelings of social workers and court appointed guardians."


Controversial case: Mark and Nicky Webster


Mark and Nicky Webster fought tooth and nail to prove they had not harmed their little boy after their three eldest were taken into care.


But despite the Appeal Court ruling they were victims of a miscarriage of justice they have been told the family cannot be reunited.


Mr and Mrs Webster's three children were taken into care in 2004 after doctors claimed that six tiny fractures found on the middle child had been inflicted deliberately. All three were later adopted.


Three years later new scientific evidence came to light which suggested that they boy could have suffered from a rare case of scurvy.


However, despite the Court of Appeal ruling in February 2009 that the decision to take the children was wrong, it was too late to return them because their adoption was final.


The ruling stated that "after three years it was in any event too late to set the orders aside, and that it would not be in the interests of the children to do so".


Lord Justice Wall said social workers and medical staff had only done what they thought was best for the injured child.


During their fight to regain custody of their children Mr and Mrs Webster fled to Ireland to prevent their fourth child, Brandon, being taken from them at birth.


They returned to their home in Cromer, Norfolk, a year later, where, after a long legal battle, Norfolk County Council dropped proceedings to take Brandon into care after accepting that he was in 'robust good health'.


Mrs Webster, 29, said: "You see cases on the news about people harming their children. It's beyond belief that we were put in a similar pigeon hole to that."


Controversial case: Fifteen minute hearing


Two young children were taken from their mother by social services after a 15-minute hearing during which a judge failed to take evidence from her or her sons.


The woman said she was given no chance to say goodbye to them as police and social services took the children before had returned from the court hearing.


A High Court judge later said he was "aghast" at the decision and ordered the children to be immediately returned to their parents, saying the judge's hasty decision was "not acceptable".


The mother said that she was physically sick when she learned the boys had been taken without her even seeing them.


She said: "The judge didn't want to know what we had to say. How someone can take such as decision like that without hearing from the children's mother is beyond me."


She said problems started when one of the boys fell in the house and banged his right ear. The mother, who was already involved with social services because the boys have learning difficulties, telephoned the case worker who recommended she take him to hospital.


He was checked and sent home. When the same thing happened a week later social services again had him examined at hospital, but this time instigated an emergency care order.


She said she was given 24 hours notice of the court hearing, in Derby, and given the necessary paperwork 20 minutes before it began.


Following the judgement, the mother said she raced home in a taxi to see the boys, only to find police and social services waiting for her outside her house. When it emerged her fiancée had taken them to a relative, she started going there but was told that the authorities had beaten her to it.


She said: "I was physically sick. I could not believe it. I didn't even get a chance to see them."


Controversial case: Tim and Gina Williams


Tim and Gina Williams's three children spent two years in care because social workers wrongly believed that they were at risk of abuse.


Their son and two daughters were placed with separate foster families despite there being no evidence against the couple, from Newport, South Wales.


As a result, they missed their children's birthdays, Christmases and their first days in new schools.


The Williams were finally exonerated at the High Court in October 2006 and the children, now aged 16, 13 and 11, were returned to them.


Two years later the High Court awarded them a "six figure" sum in compensation and Newport City Council issued them a full written apology


Their nightmare began in August 2004, Mr Williams called the police after finding his youngest daughter, then aged five, naked from the waist down with an 11-year-old friend on top of her.


The girl was taken to hospital for a precautionary check-up. Here a doctor claimed to have found evidence of long-standing abuse – but by an adult, not another child.


Mr Williams and his wife were told that they were under suspicion and the children were taken into care. A second doctor confirmed the evidence of abuse and the couple were restricted to supervised weekly visits to their children.


There were only exonerated after a US expert in child abuse examined the evidence and disputed the claims by the British doctors, who subsequently accepted that they had been mistaken.


The council conceded that the children should never have been taken from their parents on the basis of the evidence.


Speaking before the settlement awarded by the High Court, Mr Williams said his children's ordeal had left them scared and insecure. He said: "They were ripped from us and still don't understand why. They think it was because they were naughty, even though we've tried to explain it to them as best we can.


"All three are extra clingy and constantly fight for our attention. If they don't see us at the school gates the moment the bell rings they freak out, so we have to get there 10 minutes early and stand in exactly the same spot. We take them everywhere with us because they refuse to go to babysitters."

02-Mar-2011 - GUARDIAN Blog. - Rape & Crimes Against The Disabled

Rape and crimes against the disabled: the state admits it should do moreThe law officers and the director of public prosecutions both try to remedy a problem

Keir Starmer QC, Director of Public Prosecutions, admits more needs to be done to tackle crimes against the disabled.

The press can be unforgiving when it comes to the failure of the authorities to protect victims from crime. And two types of crime in particular – crimes against disabled people, and rape – attract particularly vehement criticism in this paper and others victims are let down by the authorities.


Sometimes the authorities bite back. This week, the law officers – the attorney and solicitor general – are in court referring four rape cases to the court of appeal on the basis that the sentences are unduly lenient.


The power to refer "unduly lenient" sentences is exercised in about 100 cases a year, and essentially involves cases in which the law officers think the sentencing judge messed up. Or to use the official language, the sentence given in the crown court "falls outside the range of sentences which the judge, applying his mind to all the relevant factors, could reasonably consider appropriate".


When it comes to the rapes that fall into this category, they are by definition the kind of offence that represents every woman's worst nightmare. The man who breaks into a stranger's home in the middle of the night, the student who binds, gags and rapes another student in their university halls of residence, photographing her ordeal, or the man who poses as a parcel delivery man, armed with a self-assembled "rape kit" to attack an unsuspecting woman at the front door. These are three examples of rape cases presented by the solicitor general in the court of appeal this week, arguing for a tougher sentence.


There have been various criticisms of this system – not least the fact that there is an element of randomness in the cases that get referred. The law places the burden of deciding which cases to appeal on the law officers, and they in turn rely on victims and prosecutors to prompt them.


Attempts to expand the powers to refer unduly lenient sentences were resisted under former attorney general Lord Goldsmith in part on the basis that the court of appeal couldn't handle the additional workload, although that seems a questionable legal foundation for deciding which cases get sent back to court and which don't.


Referring unduly lenient sentences doesn't really count as the state admitting it got things wrong – the law officers can place the blame squarely at the feet of the trial judge. But it is – imperfect or not – one mechanism by which the state seeks to correct mistakes.


And then there are those who will admit that the state gets things wrong. The director of public prosecutions has just made a speech admitting that the authorities "are still in the foothills when it comes to disability hate crime and supporting victims and witnesses with disabilities". Speaking at the University of Sussex, Keir Starmer has acknowledged that disabled people lack confidence in the criminal justice system, and that prosecutors have to do their part in reversing that.


Starmer cites figures that in London, almost double the number of disabled people have suffered some sort of harassment or crime than people without disabilities. Research by Mencap demonstrates that 90% of people with a learning disability had experienced bullying and harassment.


Yet only 506 people were charged with hate crimes against disabled people last year, compared to 9.214 for religious and racially aggravated crimes. And Starmer admits that the kind of incidents reported by the Guardian where both the police and prosecutors have humiliated disabled people by failing to take them seriously, are part of the problem.


But he also points out, and I agree, how complex the issue can be. For example, Starmer referred to another story in the Guardian about a man named Jim Watts, featured in our miscarriages of justice section "Justice on Trial". Watts is challenging the safety of his conviction after he was convicted of sexual assaults on severely disabled women after the victims gave their evidence by blinking or pressing buttons on their wheelchairs to indicate 'yes' or 'no'. His lawyers are arguing that their testimony is "unreliable".


Starmer on the other hand, presents this as the way forward for prosecutors, who should be doing more to enable disabled people to be heard by the courts and have cases againt them taken seriously.


There is no trade-off between rights of victims to be treated fairly and rights of defendants to have a fair trial – both are equally important and this is one of the issues that flags up how difficult that can be. But to have a chief prosecutor who admits that a dilemma and a problem exists, is at least a breath of fresh air.
