Also 'hotrod'.

I have been told his facebook page has been evaporated.

God knows what this has done to his family.

Indeed!
They will be trying to reconcile their experience of a valued family member to what they now have to accept

There are rules and this forum is by far the best run I've ever known.

Merci beaucoup.  We do try, but it often goes unnoticed.

[Eleanor]

The fact that you would compare your (I'm sure) rather paltry misdemeanours in terms of forgiveness with the actions of a convicted paedophile is irresponsible if not ' beyond the pale'.

Thank you.

Ah, but give no quarter.  Let's all be sure that we never did anything to be ashamed of.

[jassi]

Not just a case of shame, it is deemed to be illegal and in the current public view one of the worse crimes possible, although there are clearly degrees of offence.

To be absolutely clear I will never ever understand how anyone can view such images of children and abhor that anyone does so or that these images are made.
The damage to the children involved must be immeasurable.

I'm thinking it must be a nightmare for the family of anyone convicted of such a crime.
Trying to reconcile their feelings for their loved one with the realisation of their loved ones dark side.
However as you said earlier, this has nothing to do with the McCanns and Madeleine's imo abduction.

Obviously.  According to the sentence.

What ever one's own opinion may be, in this country even a judge is only able to do what the law allows.

This is informative and a bit of an eye opener:

I agree Erngath,  how anyone can view those photo's of children being abused is beyond me,  it is a disgusting and unforgiveable crime.

My feelings are with his family,   they must be going through hell,   with them in mind,  I will say no more about it.

And I will go on feeling desperately sorry for him.

...............and what of Nessling's victims ???

Do you feel desperately sorry for all criminals or just certain ones, Eleanor?

For 7 or 8 years this man was making indecent images of children and possessing prohibited images of children. In my opinion it is those children who deserve sympathy, not the adults who prey on them.

You and your like will no doubt take care of those.

I try not to judge in the light of my own inadequacies.

Would you say 'you and your like' if member of members of your family had extremely indecent pictures blazoned all over their computer.

When the boots on the other foot, there lies a different perspective.

Nesslings actions are inexcusable, along with the judge who FAILED to give him a custodial sentence.
