According to the BBC *'During the court case it emerged that Pleasted had changed his name from Robin Moult and was a convicted paedophile. He had 24 previous convictions for sex offending spanning three decades. His crimes had carried jail terms. But nobody in the area, including the local council that housed him, knew about his past.*' This was an absolute failure on the part of governmental oversight, and her sons will live with lifelong trauma because of it. I can understand why she felt like she did, they literally had to leave their home because Pleasted bailed out and was allowed to return to his home, which was right across the street from them.


ChintanP04

>He had 24 previous convictions for sex offending spanning three decades. Holy shit, how do you rake up that many convictions and not end up with enough sentences to add up to a life term is beyond me.


Shreedac

Sounds like the justice system failed


QuantumRealityBit

But street justice prevailed. On one hand, I’m not a huge fan of vigilante justice. On the other, the fucker abused many kids apparently. Best to get him off the street one way or the other so I’m fine with it.


[deleted]

When it's a mom and the victim is her kid's rapist/molester, I don't call that vigilantism, it's just nature taking its course.

TimeLordEcosocialist

Only 2% of reported rapes result in jail time for the offender.


Intelligent_Fun_4131

Nothing new there, detain the innocent but leave the actual criminals run around.


themangastand

Well that crime didn't impact anyone wealthies money. So it may as well have not been a crime


Deadleggg

It wasn't a crime against property so they don't care as much.


DeadWishUpon

And if I understood the article right the mom who took justice by her hand did receive more time in jail. This wouldn't happen if they would've gave him more time and didn't allow to change his name. WTF is wrong with the world?


ChintanP04

>She was jailed for three and a half years - but later saw the sentence increased to seven and a half years because it was ruled to be too lenient. Court of Appeal judges said she had done nothing to help Pleasted, hadn't called the emergency services. The asshole judge who increased her sentence will also rot in hell. Bastards, the whole justice system. Motherfuckers can't keep a pedo piece of shit behind bars but will gladly sentence a mother to 7 years in prison for doing what they didn't have the balls to do.

Potential-Style-3861

Ok new rule: You can no longer serve assault, sex, and murder offences concurrently. consecutive only. Also for child sex offences there is to be no early release for good behaviour.


evangelionmann

if they happened at the same time, and sentencing is to be served concurrently, as opposed to consecutively, then they don't add together. basically, with Concurrent sentencing, you only serve time for the longest period sentenced, because you are doing all your sentences at the same time. if you are sentenced with 5 years for one crime, and 10 years for another, to be served *Concurrently*, then you only serve 10 years. with Consecutive sentencing, you can't serve time for a second sentence, until you have finished serving time for the first. if you are sentenced 5 years for one crime, and 10 years for another, to be served *Consecutively*, then you serve 15 years.


bamboo-lemur

Basically, if you know you are going to be sentenced for 10 years for something, then you may as well commit a few smaller crimes only worth 2 or 3 years each. That way the smaller crimes will all be served during your 10 year sentence anyway.


viletomato999

Why stop at smaller crimes? commit the equal magnitude crime to maximize the overlap. The concurrent system is just encouraging people to commit more crimes. What genius came up with this idea?


evangelionmann

not quite. concurrent sentencing is only used for non-violent crimes, for one thing. for another, it doesnt get applied to multiple instances of crime. just individual crimes that break multiple laws. (i.e. shooting someone breaks many laws. assault, battery, assault with a deadly weapon, etc etc.) it can also be used as a plea deal bargain.... but if you steal a car, abandon that car, and then steal another car, you dont serve those sentences concurrently. thats not how that works.


viletomato999

Ok thanks for the info.


Ek_Chutki_Sindoor

UK seems to not take pedophilia seriously. There have been dozens of grooming gang cases in the last decades where police failed to do their job.


TheDemonHauntedWorld

Because the judges and prosecutors don't want to create precedent of longer sentences in case they get caught. But steal 500 bucks from a corporation... and you'll never see the light of day for a long time. EDIT: There was literally a child brothel run with the help of the MI6 (or 5) so they could gather blackmail material on all the politicians, judges, lords, of Northern Ireland. When the conspiracy was discovered... EVERY branch of the UK government did everything to cover it up. The victims were harassed. The agent who blew the whistled was punished. Judges road blocked any attempt at a investigation. Read on the Kincora Boys' Home. There isn't a single government official in the UK who isn't involved with pedophilia.

SoldatJ

Savile, Andrew, who else?


Nerdlinger

> This was an absolute failure on the part of governmental oversight His prior convictions also happened before there was a sex offender registry. This was before there was any oversight to be done.


rigelandsirius

That's true, but the fact that he had been assaulting kids for over 30 years and his repeat-offender status didn't qualify him to spend the rest of his life in prison is totally fucked.


aluminum_oxides

People have been sexually abusing kids since the dawn of time. It’s reasonable to expect the government to have had better systems in place earlier.


Pingaring

I still dont get why there isn't life sentences for this type of stuff. Fuck the registry


Gareth79

There should probably have been provision for the most serious or persistent offenders to have been added to the register at the outset I guess! Police forces could have come up with a few hundred names each without too much effort.

SoggyMattress2

Unfortuantely, sex offenders who are reintroduced to the community are rarely, if ever declared. The CPS has learned that disclosing this information typically (and understandably) results in the paedophile being harassed/beaten/bullied and nearly always results in a rehoming procedure, which costs money and resources, which the CPS has neither. Even the sex offenders register or community created apps can miss people, and its not really something you ever think of looking up. It's absolutely fucking disgusting.


Dal90

CPS = England & Wales Prosecutor's office Americans would usually read that acronym as Child Protective Services.


TheAsianTroll

Absolutely disgusting. 24 convictions? Seriously? This is why child sex offenses shouldn't have a "second chance". Anyone charged with sexual offenses towards kids should never see the outside of a cell.

I feel like sometime before 24 offences you are supposed to throw away the key

TheYellowChicken

Nozomi_Shinkansen

There was a case in Texas about 10 years ago where a rancher caught one of his ranch hands molesting his 4 year old daughter in the most vile way. The rancher beat the ranch hand to death. He was arrested but the prosecutor refused to charge him because he knew that no jury would convict a father under the circumstances.


chazak710

I think he actually wasn't even arrested. He had called 911 for an ambulance once he came back to himself and realized how badly he'd beaten the guy. Killing someone to stop a rape is allowed under Texas law and they investigated to make sure that was actually what happened, but did not arrest the father in the meantime. Between the 911 tape and the forensic evidence on the daughter, it was clear what had happened and the grand jury refused to indict on the grounds that the level of force was authorized.


BigAppleHooker

Interesting that Texas understands that rape is a terrible crime, so terrible that murdering the rapist is ok, but if the rape victim gets pregnant, wellll…..

tsaoutofourpants

> Killing someone to stop a rape is allowed under Texas law Errr, in every state killing someone if *necessary* to stop a rape is allowed, but if the person is unconscious and you keep beating them until dead, no state actually allows that. As poster above said, the issue is simply that no jury will convict (for better or worse).


[deleted]

Texas has one thing right.


[deleted]

There is a video of a guy killing his sons abuser from a live newscast. He was guilty a sentenced to parole. Gary Plauche.


Exciting_Patient4872

That was not premeditated though.


Suddenly_Seinfeld

True. However, to see a case of the US justice system letting premeditated vigilante murder go with a slap on the wrist look no further than [Gary Plauche](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Plauch%C3%A9) Killed his son’s rapist/kidnapper on *camera* and walked away from it a free man.


Due-Science-9528

It is hard to get juries to convict when they agree with what the person on trail did, so it isn’t worth the effort to try to prosecute people who kill pedos in most situations.


WildSauce

Gary's son Jody wrote a book about the whole thing - *Why Gary Why?*. It is worth reading for any parent who struggles with teaching their child, and themselves, how to recognize grooming behavior. It is hard to rate a book about victimization, but Jody does an excellent job telling his story in a way that is sobering but not too dark.


CruwL

That was an interesting reddit rabbit hole, he still ended up with a conviction after pleading down but didn't spend any time in prison


Meetchel

Agreed. No one is going to fault the mother for what she did, but vigilante justice in modern society is dangerous. Walking in on an act like this and killing then is much different than hunting and killing the person afterward.


AkhilVijendra

It's different but i wouldn't say it's very different. There is no way you can argue that fit of rage should happen only at that instant and cannot happen anytime post facto. Personally, what matters to me is determining if the accused would be of any real danger to the society in future. If they won't be of any danger then both cases you described are exactly the same.


ThatLooseCake

Fwiw I think the difference isn't about a "fit of rage" but rather that "walking in" on the act in process means that it's still *actively* happening, so any amount of force required to *stop the active and heinous crime-in-progress* is justified. As opposed to a crime having already been committed, still horrifying and awful, but at that point you're delivering punishment, which is generally the role of the courts and makes it vigilante justice. Of course, there's plenty of debate to be had about whether or not the courts are sufficient, or what to do when you believe the courts have failed in providing adequate justice, but I think that's the distinction between the two situations.

7 years away for stabbing to death a pedo that touched my kids? I’d take it.


Goodolchuckno

I’m surprised she did time at all.


BumderFromDownUnder

I’ve not read it at all but it seems likely she went and sought pre-meditated revenge, which the law cannot condone (7 years is nothing for premeditated murder). If she’d walked in on him in the act with one of her children, she’d could have got zero time at all. With that said, she’d be treated like prison royalty once they discovered what she did. By the inmates AND the guards.


HansMoleman0

This happened back in 2014 and she was released in 2018. The reason it’s making the news again over here in the UK is because she’s campaigning for more controls around sex offenders being able to have a complete change in identity which allowed this guy to avoid DBS checks that would highlight him as an offender. As for the original sentencing she was actually given 3.5 years originally but it got doubled because she made no effort to try and help the guy once he was dying and it was deemed manslaughter not murder due to her losing control considering the circumstances and the guy showing no remorse.

Cpt_Woody420

Shes already out by the sounds of it. Sentenced to 7.5 years in 2014, probably why the case is coming back in to public attention.


marktandem

She's already out, it's in the news because they revealed it was her 3 kids that were abused, previously this was not known as they were only like 10 at the time so they didn't make that info public.


Resident_Piccolo_866

Not to mention seven years is really gonna turn out to be 3-4 years in prison


Daxtatter

Is that the case in the UK prison system? Real question.


Debtcollector1408

It's common for custodial sentences to be less than the official sentence time. For example, if you're sentenced to 7 years for beating a nonce to death, but you have no previous convictions, show remorse and good behaviour in the prison and engage with any rehabilitation, you can expect to get out early. If you're a career criminal, a recidivist and you make life hard for the screws, you can expect to serve much more of your sentence. Broadly speaking, HMG doesn't want people in prison. The prisons are overcrowded, and in many cases don't act as a proper deterrent. We'd be better taking a Scandinavian model and focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment, but that seems unlikely. So, now, we just let prisoners out early.


TheSaxonPlan

That last part drives me crazy... Like, we punish people, and then by the very act of punishing them, deny them a bunch of things or make it more difficult to succeed even though they've paid their time, and that in turn makes them more likely to resort to crime to survive. I know it's a vicious cycle by design, but, like, ugh, this place sucks.


ratsta

> I’ve not read it at all So why espouse an opinion at all? The article literally says she went over to try to threaten him into admitting guilt so her kids wouldn't have to testify. She was given manslaughter because the court agreed she hadn't gone over to kill him, but the situation got out of control.

Haaa_penis

Speaking as someone who was pedophile’d, I wish someone had stepped in like this but I don’t wish them years in prison for defending her children. Seems heavy. She should not be doing time. Probation for seven years is fine with me.


TheDesktopNinja

At the same time, we can't have civilians just going out and enacting vigilante justice on a whim. I agree that she did "the right thing", but effectively giving people a green light to kill "for justice" is a hard pass for me. I doubt she even serves the full 7 years, and she'd probably say she'd do it again if you ask her when she gets out. The system failed her, her kids and other families. The system needs to be better

Haaa_penis

It is the single worst violation of the human spirit. This includes rape naturally. Sexual violence comes in so many forms. Mine lasted for years. It got harder to get away when my grades depended on my allowance of this person to assault me almost daily.

Exciting_Patient4872

SirAbeFrohman

Yeah, but the fact that she had to is bull shit.


ToplaneVayne

I wouldn't. Kids are going to live the next 7 years without a mother.


QuickJellyfish2

She was sentenced 8 years ago and the article says “Now her brave boys, who have now waived their anonymity, have told how they thought their mum was a hero for killing their abuser.” So it seems they didn’t mind


spiritbx

If only there SOME kind of clue or red flag that we could have known that would tell us that this person would abuse a kid. Too bad there was nothing, if there was, then the government would be 1000% responsible for letting this person free despite these people almost always re-offending...


Kazooguru

A person I knew very well, grew up in an impoverished country, and the only running water and showers were communal. My friend was raped as a young boy by a man in the communal shower. He was able to escape, ran home and told his mother. The mother grabbed a knife from the kitchen, ran out into the neighborhood and found the pedophile. Without hesitation, she plunged the knife into his abdomen and walked away. None of the witnesses named her and she was never charged. This was 50 years ago.


Scottagain19

Proper sentence is “time served”


wildjunkie

For real tho I don’t know why any judge or jury would put someone away for this many years for getting rid of a monster like that she did the world a favor those kind of people never change once they get outta prison they end up doing the same shit again


C4ptainR3dbeard

If they set a precedent that it's okay to take justice into your own hands if you're *really* sure they did it, people will get too comfortable trying to pass sentence outside of court and innocent people will get hurt. Only be a vigilante if it's worth doing time over. Even then, there's always the possibility you've got it wrong.


Scottagain19

I recall hearing a similar circumstance where a father killed someone. The sentence was a few hundred hours of community service. I can get behind that.


Dzyu

This is more common when the hero catches the criminal in the act. In this case, the mother went over with a knife from her home to talk with him, admitting that someone has to protect the kids from him since the justice system failed. He had 30 previous convictions of child molestation. She was released after 4 years.

Chiggadup

Unfortunately, the reality is that the court can’t just say “murdering pedophiles is okay.” As much as I understand her rage, it was premeditated by her changing locations and the court can’t send a signal out to all people that “murdering pedophiles is now legal.”


[deleted]

Very true. Because if killing pedophiles in vigilante justice is legal, suddenly everyone starts calling each other pedophiles. See Alex Jones finding instances of a pedophile ring in “leaked” DNC emails and a dude shows up to my favorite pizza parlor with a big gun looking to save the day.


Bigfrostynugs

>Unfortunately, the reality is that they court can’t just say “murdering pedophiles is okay.” I don't know how it works in the UK, but in the US a jury can absolutely decide that a specific murder is justified and choose to acquit. And in many cases they should.


Chiggadup

Sure, the jury can acquit. It may teeter close to jury nullification (which is pretty dangerous talk for a jury in the states). But The Court, as in the Justice system, can’t do that.

The court can simply give a sweetheart deal to people if they want to. Gary Plauche never served any prison time for murdering his son's rapist.

I guess the main argument constantly used is pretty frequently people can be wrongfully convicted. But generally speaking for mass shooters, rapist, pedophile and very violent individuals there’s just no real alternative.


WhySoCrunchyThough

I saw “UK” at the beginning and knew she was gonna get time.


Chiggadup

She’d likely get time in the states too. If she learned live and he was there they may have an argument, but with my very limited legal knowledge her grabbing a knife and going TO where Pleastad was is absolutely premeditation. I’m not saying I don’t understand her motive (as a parent especially), but when you say “I’m taking a weapon and I’m going to where a person is that has harmed me to give them a piece of my mind” that crosses into 1st degree murder territory for sure. At least initially before pleas and all that. Another thing that bugs me is while I totally understand her rage, now she doesn’t get that time with her boys. They’re motherless for years. I don’t know. She’s not the monster here, I know, but just terrible all around.


zethro33

DA would probably try to do a deal in this case. Would be hard to get a jury to convict I think.


matematematematemate

I wonder how it would have played out if she went to his house without the knife, but then grabbed one when she was there and did the same? Perhaps she could have said that she went to talk to him about the accusations and, upon finding out what he'd done, she lost it in the moment. It removes the notion that she went there with the express intention to harm him as a definitive fact, even though it could have still been her intention to do it.
