One of Britain’s worst paedophiles has been freed from jail in the latest indictment of the SNP’s ‘soft touch’ justice system, the Mail can reveal.
James Rennie, ex-chief executive of a publicly funded gay and trans rights group for teens, was one of eight men exposed as members of a major paedophile ring.
The 54-year-old former Scottish Government adviser was jailed in 2009 after molesting the toddler son of unsuspecting friends.
He had been trusted to babysit the little boy – then recorded the abuse and shared it with other perverts.
During the police investigation, the boy’s parents were forced to watch a video of their baby son being violated by Rennie, who was boss of controversial LGBT Youth Scotland (LGBTYS).
Last night Scottish Tory justice spokesman Liam Kerr said: ‘Scots will be sickened that this predatory offender is back on our streets.
‘He should have spent the rest of his life behind bars.
‘His release is an insult to the victims and their families, especially with Christmas round the corner. This disgraceful case is yet another damning example of the SNP’s soft-touch justice system, which constantly puts the needs of criminals first.’
