He should be in prison: abuser freed after FOUR months of an 18-month sentence (From Bournemouth Echo)

Vile creature.

Out on a jolly with a tag. Nice job if you get it.

Bring back the Gallows!

How soft we are ... my heart goes out to the victims and their families ... there is no justice and more importantly no deterent to stop these evil scum.

Feel sorry for the victims here, they are now prisoners. why did the Courts not impose a total ban on visiting an area of say 50 miles.? This would at least give these poor victims some kind of Life they deserve and not living in fear.!

This is sick family's suffer yet he is walking about without a care in the world!!!!
Judges are to soft any sex crime should have a 15yr minimum they need to suffer!!

If he'd committed a really serious crime like defraud the VAT man then he'd be inside on an even longer sentence.

Or broken a speed limit on not paid the fine.

State of the nation

WE the people have to stand up to this unacceptable injustice and to the crass incompetence of the civic servants who are supposed to keep society safe.
1) Get this anti-social criminal out of society
2) Get the incompetent judge who gave him the comical sentence removed from exposing us to such dangers.

Now, how on earth can WE the people bring about changes? I really would'nt know how to begin because in my opinion we have lost the basis of proper people power...

18 months wasn't enough, why did they even bother sentencing him? I don't understand these so called 'sentences'. What's the point in setting a time than letting them out so early? And who exactly would enforce it if they had set an exclusion zone? Poor victims.

I know its another news site but this goes to show what bad justice this is: http://www.dailymail

The first time I ever saw him I thought he was a sick sick man, you only have to be in his road for 10 minuets and you can see at least 3 children go to his house!!!!

How can we expect proper punishments to be handed out to criminals when those who create and enforce the laws (at the highest levels) are criminals themselves. The banking crisis is a fantastic example; perhaps the biggest fraud in human history yet where are the prosecutions.... The law is the law when it suits those who create it and benefit from it. Now, once again, we have another weirdo to add to the already innumerable amount of weirdos in the Bournemouth and Poole area.

Any comments from our new media darling the PCC? OK, I'll wait..............

The four months that he has spent inside is even less than the six month suspended sentence that was breached.

What is the point of these 'sentences'?

Criminals can hardly be deterred from offending or re-offending.

What's the betting he gets a free house, all the benefits he needs and someone to hold his hand.
The poor little darling has been locked up because he broke the law imposed on him by us nasty people.
No doubt there is someone, somewhere who thinks he is a poor misguided person who needs his human rights protected.
What a sad society we live in, and they called it 'civilised.'

As much I agree with most of these comments, what difference is going to do typing away on the Echo comments page.

Lobby your MP's and local Councillors.
Get a petition going.

Don't just sit there, if you feel so strongly, get off of your backsides.

After watching a tv programme other night this vile scum would be on 30 yrs + if this was in certain states in America, we so need to start operating max prisons to house these low life scum and sentence them to severe sentences.

i agree with l,anglais first statement but as for lobbying your mp or councillors and starting a petition what a load of tosh i suggest if you believe that you are as deluded as him things wont change unless the millionaire crooks in london decide it will change

Good point.
However, i for one would'nt know where to start.

Can someone with a bit of savvy start one up aimed at the Poole mp please? I'm sure it would have a tremendous snowball effect and make us feel that we're at least a voice!

Hoping that there is such a person out there!!

Right well here is the truth according to someone who isnt trying to jump on the band wagon - This man infact served 12 months on remand and then further 4 and a half months so intotal 16.5 months of an 18 month sentence, he in not allowed to live back in the Poole area and is probably in a bail hostel having to report and sign on as a sex offender for the next ten years. The leniant sentence was probably due to the fact that most of the girls parents knew who he was and what he was like and actively encourage their children to go around and buy his cheap baccy! And where as i have no sympathy for him whatsoever he has young family members who have had to carry on and live in the area and who shouldnt have to hear about him being released on the front of this paper!

Quite right, the fact that he is released at all should be the news.
As far as most people are concerned he can rot in jail or somewhere hotter.
I have sympathy with family members but not with him.

The recent documentary on ITV about a prison in America was a real eye opener. I strongly believe that if you want to have a prison sentence as both a deterrent and a punishment then sentences should not reflect the crime and the impact on the victim. I also think that you should serve the entire sentence you are given, and that "luxuries" in prison should be a reward for good behaviour not time off your sentence. Perhaps if we are relying on a jury system to find someone guilty then the jury should also have a say in the sentence and the judicial service should not be influenced by government and minimum fixed sentences for each crime be set and adhered to, and dependant on the crime additional time added. I also believe that a guilty plea should not reflect a shorter sentence!!

Why such a short sentence? Why was it made even shorter? I have heard about this individual from parents of children who live close to him and find it utterly incomprehensible that any parent should have to live in fear of what this sick man is capable of with it being so well known about and documented. Come on PCC time to put your money where your mouth is, this is obviously, completely and utterly unfair on the decent parents, families and children of your ward. I realy am fuming at this

As a parent it pains me to agree with your post sadly time served in jail prior to being found guilty and sentenced is actually subtracted from the total sentence handed down quite frankly people like this should rot in hell

Because his time on remand was subtracted from the sentence handed down agreed the total sentence was far too lenient

Well here it is..... I am one of the 4 people who turned up in court so I heard everything's and I do know the TRUTH,, yes well said actual truth teller....this is all about cheap fags and baccy, and the illegal selling and buying of it ....the papers have totally sensationalised this .... Let me put it in simple terms as for touching girls ..... He slapped a few girls **** and threw a few jelly beans in a jelly bean fight that went down a girls top....that totalled to sexual assault.... What a joke ...however his sentenced was lenient for that reason..... As I seen it in court ...it was more about the fact they never caught him with the cheap fags ! I do not condone his behaviour in anyway but let's not let this get blown out of proportion ....! He has family too ....

I dont think that the females concerned or their parents would agree with any part of this comment. Maybe he should of thought about his family before enticing young females into his house and acting inappropriately. The sentence was far too lenient and the fact he is allowed back to Poole is appaling !!!

In response to (retry69) comment....
(Mmmmmmmmmm......odd name by the way!!!!) but then I must not make assumptions..!
I am not out to change the way People think you think what you like I would just like to say again most of this written in the papers is utter rubbish ... I was in court and I really don't blame people for their comments based on what they read ,,, but find it so sad that the papers can get away with doing it ....they Have made it sound like he had sex with the girls he slapped a backside and threw jellybeans down a top !!! There was no sexual contact at all .... I'll say that again no sexual contact at all.... As I said before I don't condone his behaviour but let's get the facts right .also I note there was no mention of all the boys that were in his at the same time too.... Funny that!

Load of tosh! Close to two million people peacefully marched in London in February 2003 to protest against the threat of a war in Iraq. A few days later, Blair with his warlord friend Bush invaded Iraq, so protesting or writing to your MP is a total waste of time.
What we really need is direct action in order to bring a total overhaul of the justice system.

svemaetle (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm odd name by the way!!!!) "he slapped a backside" there was no sexual contact at all...ill say that again no sexual contact at all.I think we get the picture! Think again!

Also it states he pleaded guilty to sexual activities with a child or is that wrong also

Initials actually!,,,,,and again it's the way it's worded .... Yes he pleaded guilty to slapping backsides ..... I was there!!!!!!!!

i sterilised my dog and she never hurt anyone, so why treat him different, bring me my shears and hold him down

Unusually long name.Unsure if "I was there!!!!!!!!" means you were at the scene or the court case but either way your attempts at defending this persons behaviour is starting to sicken me

So it turns out he only sold tobacco and alcohol to minors whilst acting inapropriately. So that's alright then (

Kevin Sherwoods sentence was fair for someone who was caught for the selling of alcohol and cigerettes , as for the young girls accusations and the mothers excuses for her daugthers behavior is beyond me , why would a young girl start smoking after this if the reason she was at mr sherwoods was to buy cigerettes yet again another case of peoples comments without knowing the full story and the press as always ruining peoples lives ! As well as Mr Sherwoods sentence the reporter should be sentenced the mother for her lies and bad parenting! I would know where my 14 year old daugther was at all times another case of poor parenting also , and as for Mr Sherwoods actions not suitable behavior but we cannot jump to conclusions being made out by the paper to be a sex offender for a slap on the arse these cases are wrong for what hes done but hardly make Mr sherwood a sex offender! Most blokes out in the uk would be in prison for wrongfully smaking on the arse and 13 , 14 , 15 yr old girls out and about in poole and uk nightclubs acting 18 - wrong but true and these girls are protected for there actions stricter parenting and schooling would be a good start to avoid situations like these !

I know the family concerned and they are very strict parents . They believed their daughter was down the field with her friends un aware that this sick man had removed his back fence to make it easier to entice children from the playing field into his house as he had ALREADY received a warning for the amount of children in and out of his house. You say people are jumping to conclusions on this sick man but you feel you have the right to jump to the conclusion that this was due to bad parenting and schooling ?? Very hypercritical
