David Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 A 101-year-old man has been jailed for 13 years for committing 30 child sex offences. Ralph Clarke, of Erdington, Birmingham, is thought to be the oldest person convicted in British legal history. Judge Richard Bond QC said Clarke had been guilty of "systematic abuse" between 1974 and 1983. He was found guilty of 21 counts of abusing two girls and admitted nine charges relating to a boy during his trial at Birmingham Crown Court.

Sith Happens Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 He will have all on making 13 days. Hope he lasts longer so he can experience some of his punishment. Its a sickener he has enjoyed all these years free after such an horrific crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Why keep him at our expense. Lethal injection required asap IMO. I'm aware such an opinion won't be popular but given his age just get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 When I first read it that was my initial thoughts, too old to rehabilitate nor is he a danger to people. Seems a waste of tax payer money sending him to jail and the 13 year sentence is a joke. Won't the prison now have to cover funeral costs? Regardless of age there has to be some form of punishment for the crimes he's comitted, I don't think I trust our justice system with the power of lethal injections and castraition would be pointless given his age.

Anon Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Just make sure he gets the cell with the dodgy radiator and give him used sheets from the medical ward. Pneumonia will do the job in no time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Probably has the private en suite with a TV and morning paper given his age, no way will he be next door neighbours with an 18 year old face tattooed gold toothed thug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
