In a previous job, I got to have more social and professional contact with Crown Court judges than many others would. I found them to be just normal people who were often spectacularly well educated on matters of law and the rules of evidence. Like all normal people they had their personality quirks and work styles with some given to make the sorts of statements when sentencing offenders that would almost guarantee greater press coverage for a particular case.

As with all humans who do jobs that could be described as stressful or have aspects of employment that are distressing, some of them suffered from that. It cannot be easy having to preside over a court where you are presented with the very worst of humanity sitting in the dock in front of them, to have to listen to often gruesome prosecution evidence, the sometimes idiotic mitigation and defence statements from counsel and have to deal with the vagueness and sometimes utter stupidity of some juries.

Most judges deal with this stress well, but because the job can be difficult and stressful, I would have few criticisms of judges who do find the job difficult. I saw and heard strange and horrible things when I was a court reporter, stuff that is still with me. Today, I read and see about horrible things today when writing about such things as the woefully ignored Jihad in Africa and other crimes committed by members of the woefully misnamed ‘religion of peace’. We are all afflicted by what we have seen in our lives and judges are not immune from taking psychological harm from what they experience.

There’s been a recent case of a Judge at Oxford Crown Court who has decided to retire early because of the distress caused to him by having to preside over Islamic Rape Gang cases. In a fascinating and disturbing interview with the Oxford Mail with Judge Peter Ross, we get some inkling of how disturbing these Islamic Rape Gang cases are for judges.

The Oxford Mail said:

A COURT judge has stepped down after revealing he had ‘had enough’ of the emotional toil from trying a series of horrifying child grooming gang cases in the city.

“I have done some major cases over the last three years including the last three Oxford grooming trials.

“They were exhausting [and also] emotional because of what you are listening to.

“And intellectually because the areas are relatively new or novel law is involved, and from a case management perspective particularly they are simply huge.

“I decided I had had enough, because of their sheer size and because one listens not just to the accounts of what happened, awful though they are, but you also see the terrible consequences upon the lives of the young women who have been the victims.

“Their lives are destroyed and that’s quite distressing to observe at close quarters.”

He added: “I challenge anyone to be left untouched by some of the horrifying stories you listen to.”

Personally I do not blame Judge Ross for wanting to step down after handling three of these appalling Islamic Rape Gang cases. Because of the nature of these cases they do involve large numbers of defendants whose cases have to be managed either as one trial or split up into several trials related to the same case. Trying cases like this as a presiding judge are quite unlike trying the case of an armed robbery or a common or garden murder. These Islamic Rape Gang cases comprise of evidence that shows the depths of human depravity that those who are a part of them engage in.

The fact that Judge Ross feels the need to step down five years early short of his retirement age, should tell us just how bad the problem of Islam-derived sex crime really is. It also gives us more than an inkling as to why the Home Office is refusing to release the comprehensive grooming gang report that was ordered by a previous Home Secretary Sajid Javid. I would guess that it contains the sort of information that would bust right open many of the lies that we have been told by the authorities not just about the crimes themselves and their prevalence, but also about the brutal and racist nature of Islamic theology and culture itself.

The retirement of Judge Ross, for the reasons that he has given, should alert many more Britons to the extent of these Islamic Rape Gang cases and ongoing activity by these offenders. I’d like to close this piece with a question: If the Islamic Rape Gang cases are so traumatic as to force a judge into early retirement, how much worse must the trauma be for those areas that are not only afflicted by Islamic Rape Gang problems, but who live in areas where the police’s first course of action is to do nothing or very little about them?
