AT LEAST 1600 CHILD SEX OFFENDERS LET OFF WITH A CAUTION?

The BBC has obtained, via FOI Act requests to Police forces, the results of 8000 sex offences.

At least 1600 offences involving children resulted in cautions!!

1600 offenders allowed to prowl the streets and terrify parents in to microchipping their kids. 1600 offenders allowed to scour the internet for kiddie porn to demonise the internet, the only media offering alternative news and views to the sycophantic mainstream media spewing forth the war-and-police-state agenda.

Meanwhile OAPs are jailed for not paying their Council Tax.

Has this country gone down the drain?

Cautions for 8,000 sex offenders

Figures for each police force
Almost 8,000 sex offenders have been cautioned across England in the past five years, rather than being charged.

Offences involving children accounted for more than 1,600 of the cautions, while more than 230 were for rape.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) said a caution would be given only if it was the most appropriate course of action.

The government said there were very few cases where cautions were appropriate for rape or offences against children.

'Very careful thought'

Acpo said a caution did not mean the offender was being "let off" as it still brought a criminal record and a caution for a sex crime would also see the offender placed on the sex offenders register.

The results were revealed after inquiries to every police force in England by the BBC News website, many of them made using the Freedom of Information Act.
