CPS IN BID TO INCREASE PAEDOPHILE TERM
The Crown Prosecution Service is considering an appeal after a paedophile with a history of sex attacks was jailed for just 12 months. The sentence at Cardiff Crown Court means that David Lawrence Simms from Pontypridd could be released as early as November. Judge Michael Burr had had the option of jailing the 58-year-old for life. But he chose 12 months after hearing doctors had failed to treat him.

A judge has decided to abandon further
Maxwell trials. The judge accepted the argument of defence council that a second trial would be an abuse of the law. He recognised that Kevin Maxwell had already been acquitted of fraud in a marathon first 192-day trail. The judge also accepted that adverse publicity after the first trial would prejudice any jury considering the collapse of Robert Maxwell's empire.
