Justice, or rather a justice system, if a people are to have confidence in it should punish proportionally. Serious crimes committed by those who care not what physical harm to others they cause should be punished severely, recidivists and repeat criminals should not be treated with the sort of leniency suitable for a first offender and minor crimes should have correspondingly minor punishments.

Sadly this is not the sort of justice system that we have in Britain today. What we have is an utter and complete mess where someone whose words ‘offend’ some thin skinned snowflake are treated harshly and where burglars, car thieves and in this appalling example, a sex attacker, get derisory and inexplicably short prison sentences.

The story of this creature who goes by the name Adekunle Olaleye Fadare, is just one example of how serious criminals who should do serious time, do not. Fadare committed a series of five sex attacks in East and Central London, four of the attacks were carried out on the same day.

Fadare is obviously a pretty dangerous character. He doesn’t seem to respect women and felt that he was perfectly entitled to sexually assault five different women in East London and in Middlesex Street on the borders of the City of London.

So what sentence do you think he got after pleading guilty at Snaresbrook Crown Court to these five attacks? Three years? Five years? Ten years? If you suggested any of those sentences then you’d be way off the mark. Fadare, aged 39, got 25 MONTHS. That’s all. With good behaviour inside he may be back on the street in a year or at worst 18 months. He will be free again to terrorise women and bearing in mind that he already has shown that he can’t keep his hands to himself, might go on to commit further offences and maybe even more serious ones. This bastard couldn’t even keep his hands off of a 15 year old girl and the court heard that Fadare deliberately targeted women and girls who were vulnerable either due to age, the location they were in or because the women were with their children.

This derisory and laughable sentence imposed on Fadare has ensured that neither the victims of his attacks nor society in general has got any justice. We deserve a much better justice system than one that gives a relatively light slap on the wrist to someone who deliberately targets vulnerable women and subjects them to sexual assault.
