Vile teen predator's sentence is an insult

SOMETIMES you read a story that makes your stomach churn.

- JJ Anisiobi

The case of 18-year-old Jimmy Tawse is one of them. This vile predator sexually abused two 89-year-old women after pretending to be a therapist. He also attacked an 85-year-old and a 63-year-old woman. His sentence? Just seven years - of which he'll serve only four in custody.

Four years for destroying the lives of elderly women who trusted him. Four years for a series of assaults that will haunt those victims for the rest of their days. It's utterly disgraceful.

Let's be honest: the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

Tawse should have been locked up for at least 12 years, if not longer, and chemically castrated.
