Pedophile Councilman, Who Worked at a Children’s Home, Walks Free Despite Videos of Child Rape

On a regular basis, members of government — a government we are told exists to protect society from chaos — are caught preying on society’s most vulnerable. From heads of state to low level cops, child abusers are rife within all the ranks. All too often, when these child abusers are caught, despite overwhelming and often horrifying evidence, they walk free because of their politically connected status. This is exactly what happened with city councilman Roger Spackman.

Spackman was caught with over one million child porn images — including of 12-year-old girls being raped — and he walked free this week. On top of his position in the City Council, this vile member of the government also worked at a secure children’s home at the time he started collecting the enormous hoard of images.

According to authorities, Spackman was part of an underground internet network called The Other Place. In 2017, a police investigation found Spackman in possession of over one million images and videos at his home on a whopping 68 different electronic devices.

Judge Peter Johnson, of the Exeter Crown Court in England, where Spackman lives, noted that this was ‘an astonishing number’ of images and videos. Despite the judge admitting to the utterly shocking nature of Spackman’s crimes, he let him walk free.

Johnson sentenced Spackman to prison for ten months, however, that sentence was suspended. Instead, Spackman walked out of the courtroom a free man with just 40 days of rehab for possessing the “huge number of images.”

Not only is the system refusing to put this child predator away for a long time like he deserves, they actually praised his work in government while doing it.

The judge told the court that Spackman was a man of good character working hard in public service as a councilor in Exeter before his “fall from grace which has been dramatic.” He then went on to call Spackman the victim and blame the possession on images on the people who sent them to him, not Spackman.

The judge said Spackman had been abused as a child and played the role of an abused child in this forum. Apparently, this is what Spackman used as his defense — and it worked.

“He likes to pretend he is a young girl who will be abused. He will pretend to be a young girl,” the pedophile’s attorney, Barry White said.

The Economic Performance of Coronavirus Sweden

In Iceland, aggressive track-and-trace policies, effective quarantining, and closed borders had the country’s infection peak in early April. Soon enough we all forgot about them and their single-digit deaths. 

Instead Sweden became the black sheep. The stubborn outlier kept its society comparatively open. Shops and cafés and workplaces introduced some changes, like putting screens between customers and shop-workers. The Scandinavian nation leveraged its high internet accessibility to work from home, and public policy and persona alike appealed to common-sense behavior – like staying at home if ill, keeping physical distance, and using sanitizer (though not as religiously as the Icelanders). 

While pundits of either ideological persuasion lined up to defend it or attack it, Sweden’s elderly population kept dying. The strategy’s focus on openness, we were told, was directly to blame for care homes being unable to shield their vulnerable residents. 

Except, it turned out, that the elderly and those in nursing homes elsewhere were dying all the same: in New York, in England, in Italy, in New Orleans, stringent government restrictions or not.

Online virtual classes are now requiring immunizations for students to attend

“I think people feel like if you’re not going to the brick and mortar school then you don’t need to have the immunizations but that’s incorrect,” Fairfax County Health Department worker Shauna Severo told NBC 4 in Washington.

Health officials claim that in Virginia students need to have their shots to attend class whether virtual or not.
