Hundreds Of UK Pedophiles Are Missing

Recently, it has been found that hundreds of registered sex offenders are missing in the UK after a decade. A request by the Freedom of Information from the Press Association shows that it is now not known where the 396 convicted offenders are, in spite of law that states that the police should monitor them and report whatever change of address has been made, according to rt.

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) shows that in England and Wales, just 900 police officers were dealing with 45,000 offenders. Half the people recorded in the sex offenses register were found guilty of rape or sexual assault against a child.

Jon Brown, who heads the NSPCC's sexual abuse programs, told The Guardian, that "The monitoring of registered sex offenders in communities needs urgent attention by the government to ensure it is fit for purpose. Some of these offenders have committed the most serious of sexual offences against children, but even the risk posed by offenders classed as lower risk can increase quickly, because of dynamic factors such as a relationship breakdown or a relapse into substance misuse."

One Scotland Yard spokeswoman agreed that London's "diverse multicultural population" was drawing a huge percentage of sex offenders, who were "either known or believed to be living abroad, having returned to their country of origin", according to BBC.

Last January, statistics published by the Ministry of Justice put up information that shows that many of the sex offenders in the UK are doled out punishments by British judges that are 'lenient', although they had committed "abhorrent" actions against children.

Statistics by the offices also show that hundreds of sex offenders were let off with just some warning, even though the law specifies that jail sentences of up to 14 years should be slapped on them.

The ministry said that 7,057 sentences have been given to sex offenders in the UK since 2009.

These statistics are released even as the investigations against child abuse in the 1970s and 1980s are released, along with an "elite" ring that has included former and serving British politicians.

According to Philip Davies, the Tory MP who has released the figures, sex offenders are not "feeling the full force of the law. It is completely unacceptable to give cautions for sexual activity with children under the age of 13," he said. "There are no mitigating factors and no excuses. They should go before a judge."
