Convicted paedophile Samuel Huckle could be sent to prison after Police found devices capable of accessing the internet at his home in Cowes.
Appearing at the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court last month (27th February) Huckle, 21, of St Faith’s Road in Cowes, admitted having possession of several electronic items that hadn’t been declared to Police.
These items included; an iPad, a laptop, 2 Xbox consoles and a camcorder. The items were discovered on the 26th February. Huckle was also found in possession of an offensive weapon – namely a knife.
Having possession of these items put Huckle in breach of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) that was imposed back in February last year, after the 21-year-old was convicted of possessing a prohibited image of a child, 2 counts of distributing an indecent photograph/pseudo-photo of a child and 3 counts of making an indecent photo/pseudo-photo of a child.
Huckle was handed a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for 2 years.
Just 3 days after Island Echo’s story went live, it was reported that the Attorney General’s Office had received a request to review Huckle’s sentence, however it was confirmed that Law Officers would not be referring Huckle’s sentence to the Court of Appeal.
Magistrates adjourned the case until the 20th March when Huckle will appear at the Isle of Wight Crown Court.
Shouldn’t have been suspended in the first place. Even looks like a wrongun
Whilst I agree that (certainly in an ideal world) his sentence shouldn’t have been suspended,… and that for the breaches of conditions, that have been reported, he definately should be put away,..
I don’t concur that looks should be used as a consideration of guilt…
if they were,. what TH would you be guilty of ??? !!
Surely we can do better than judge people on appearances?
Obviously, it is a matter for the courts but logic dictates that if someone has been given a suspended sentence – ie it is recognised that the offence is so serious that only a custodial sentece would be appropriate – and that has been suspended as long as he abides by conditions, as soon as conditions are breached the person should be returned to court and the presumption should be that the sentence will be activated and he will go inside.
Nothing will happen dirty shit.
Should have been imprisoned first time around.
Clearly took no notice of the previous conditions and should now get a much longer sentence.
This is why the country is going to the dogs, no meaningful deterrents anymore.
You cannot change a nonce, no amount of “prevention orders” or jail time will stop him being sexually attracted to children. He is and always will be a risk.
When a dog is a risk to the public we snuff it out to prevent harm, why take the risk with these kinds? It’s too late once he’s acted on his perversions and ruined a child’s life forever. Short drop, sudden stop.
As I have always said, this is the real suspended sentence, by the neck.
Poor little perv, he does look the part though.
Seems like a nice boy. I am sure that he will quickly make “Friends” in jail. Get my drift?
