Truly horrendous crimes and he will go to prison for a long time. What hasn't been commented on this site is the involvement of the mothers of the victims. For years child abuse has been seen as something men do yet in this case women are as culpable as the man. To link paedophilia with being gay as some posters have done is naïve and totally wrong. The well known pop singer who was charged with committing a lewd act with another man in a public place is gay - nothing to link him with paedophilia. When a well-known British actor was caught with a female prostitute in Los Angeles no one suggested he had an interest in young girls. There shouldn't be double standards.
sadly some women these days just aren't fit to be mothers - they see their kids as a gateway to a free house and easy money
He deserves to be locked away for the rest of his life and so do the mothers. As a parent your first instinct should be to protect your kids in any way necessary. These Mums who neglect their kids and turn a blind eye are just as evil as the men who do the crime.
