The Crown
Prosecution Service has criticised a barrister acting on its behalf for
describing a 13-year-old sex abuse victim in court as “predatory”.
Robert Colover also called the girl
“sexually experienced”. The CPS said his language had been “inappropriate”.
Neil Wilson, 41, admitted abusing
the girl at his home in Romford, London, and was given a suspended jail term.
The Attorney General's Office said the sentence had been drawn to its
attention as "possibly unduly lenient".
In regards to the fact that a guy
who admitted he abused a 13-year-old girl was essentially let-off, yes that does
seem ‘unduly lenient’ and hopefully the Attorney General will get this guy back
in court so he can be charged properly and sent to prison, which is where he
should be now.
In regards to the barrister who
represented the abuser and had the gall to say that it was the 13-year-old girl
who was acting in a predatory manner, I think the CPS should do a little more
than say his language was ‘inappropriate’.
They should take his contract put
it through the paper shredder and ask him to clear his desk and never come
back.
