South Australia's Court of Criminal Appeal has doubled the sentence handed to a paedophile teacher who sexually abused his 13-year-old student in the early 1980s.The Court of Criminal Appeal found the original sentence handed to him was manifestly inadequateIn April, Christopher Wright Stain, 67, was sentenced to three years and 10 months in jail with a non-parole period of 14 months for persistent sexual exploitation.
The offending only ended when the victim was 14 years old and she wrote a letter to Stain asking for him to leave her alone. The court also found the sentencing judge had placed "too much emphasis on the delay between the offending and sentencing and the respondent's remorse, contrition and rehabilitation".
Some good news in an otherwise gloomy week.
Let’s start a conversation about the original Judge and his decision.? He was out of touch and incompetent dealing with child sexual assault. However Judges are untouchable. 🖕
. Is 3 years too short? How about 4 years? That's what the female teacher got for sexually assaulting a 14yo male student in yesterday's headline. I3m not claiming judicial bias - I'm claiming Twitter bias.
Not often you see a magistrate go hard on scum. :-)
Good news.. finally.
About *ucking time!!!!!
