I have been directed to this place via PM. So I hope I have it right.

So far, group action on DIF has seen 3 undue leniency sentences being increased.
1. Stuart Hall (increased custodial sentence)
2. Graham Ovenden (suspended sentence that resulted in a custodial sentence. Graham Ovenden actually appealed his original non-custodial sentence, suggesting that the original verdict was wrong.)
3. ??? (I'll check my emails because I don't just pursue celebrities - and this name isn't sticking in my head)

We failed on one referral - apparently downloading 500 child pornographic photographs does NOT come under the current legislation for the Attorney General:

Subject: RE: Simeon Osen - possible undue leniency in sentencing

Thank you for your email about the sentence passed on Simeon Osen.

The Solicitor General has considered this case very carefully and has decided
not to refer it to the Court of Appeal as an unduly lenient sentence.

The Court of Appeal will only find a sentence to be unduly lenient if the judge
has passed a sentence outside the range of sentences which a judge could
reasonably consider appropriate. This is a high threshold.

Mr Osen was sentenced to an 8 month sentence of imprisonment, suspended for 2
years, together with a curfew for 8 months. The effect of the sentence is that
the offender’s liberty will be restricted by the curfew and if he reoffends
within the 2 year period he will be liable to a sentence of immediate custody.
The judge also imposed a sexual offences prevention order, prohibiting the
offender from having unsupervised contact with females under 16, amongst other
conditions. The offender is required to comply with the sex offender
notification provisions and is disqualified from working with children.

The Solicitor General considered that the judge applied the relevant sentencing
guidelines and took account of all relevant factors. He does not consider that
the Court of Appeal would interfere with the sentence and has decided not to
refer it. I hope that this helps to explain the reasons for his decision.

Yours sincerely

Dear [redacted]

Thank you for your email below regarding the sentence given to Callum Evans.

This Office has asked for further details of the case from the Crown
Prosecution Service so that the Law Officers can decide whether or not to refer
the sentence to the Court of Appeal as being unduly lenient.

When a decision has been made I will write to you again.

Yours sincerely

Subject: Possible Undue Leniency - Callum Evans 16th January 2014

Dear Sir,

I am writing with regard to the sentence given to Callum Evans on 16th January
2014.

He has been placed under a community order for three years, which does not
reflect the severity of his misdemeanors, nor does it take into account the
fact that Callum Evans is already a serial child abuser.

Whilst this is the 3rd time that Callum Evans has been brought before the
court, he somehow manages to be tried by the same judge (Judge Graham Hume
Jones).

Callum Evans lives in The Glebe in Queen Camel, near Yeovil.

He has previously pleaded guilty to inciting a child to engage in sexual
activity, making indecent photographs of a child and inciting a child to engage
in prostitution or pornography

Six further charges relating to child sex offences have been ordered to lie on
file.

Evans was already on a three-year community order, after being spared prison in
2011 having admitted a string of sex charges. It would appear that the sex
offenders programme is not working for this paedophile and it is important that
he is given a custodial sentence as soon as possible so that he is not allowed
to abuse any more children/young people.

I ask that you review this latest sentencing and consider whether it is unduly
lenient.

Please let me know your decision as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely,

=============================================================================================

I hope that this gives you an idea of the practical things that we achieved via the DIF JS thread

Dear [name of MP]

It is 18 months since the 'Jimmy Savile Paedophilia Scandal' was exposed.

Now we have similar exposures about Cyril Smith who was reported no later than 1979 but was allowed to continue with his duplicitous and debauched activity which has damaged many young boys.

I support the stance made by Tom Watson where he speaks eloquently in this article:

https://labourlist.org/2014/04/in-praise-of-simon-danczuk/

Tom Watson has referred in The House to the 'Geoffrey Dickens dossier' which was presented to the Home Office by Geoffrey Dickens MP in 1984. But the file has disappeared in spite of Theresa May asking her staff to find it. The 50 pages contained information about suspected paedophile rings, police misconduct, intervention of MI5 and abuse of boys who were placed in a residential care home by their local authority.

There are suggestions the dossier contained links to the notorious Elm Guest House in south-west London which is currently the focus of the Metropolitan Police’s investigation known as Operation Fernbridge.

This matter will NOT go away. There will be no more cover-ups.

It is clear from witnesses who reported at that time that both Jimmy Savile and Cyril Smith (the sexually abusive predators) were known to police in their locality and elsewhere.

I now ask you as the individual who is elected to represent me in Parliament to find out the facts and answer the questions by return of email and then ensure me that you have followed-through with any promises you make.

- How many dedicated specialist investigators with arrest powers are working full-time on abuse inquiries?

- Do you support and will you call for one national independent review of historic abuse cases, 'A Royal Commission'

- Do you support that A Royal Commision should include members of the public who are 'skilled and talented' in analytical processes, questioning with a focus and the talent to get to the truth without offending the witnesses?

- Will you call for better resourcing of abuse cases, including not only the investigation but proper counselling and medical support for those who come forward?

- Are you prepared to unite with all political parties to prevent and stamp out child abuse and call for mandatory reporting of suspected abuse by teachers, child-care providers, those with ad locum parentis, councillors and Ministers?

- Will you call for a complete overhaul of child abuse sentencing including the mandatory jail time of a minimum of 5 years for those not only abusing but also for those found with child pornography?

- Will resources be made available to ensure that those suspected of taking part in an organised and determined attempt to derail active investigations be fully investigated and, if necessary, prosecuted to the full extent of the law for attempting to pervert the course of justice?

Please keep me updated on any progress you make with steps to change the current legislation.

Yours faithfully

[your name]

If anyone from SZ sends an email, would you please PM me the name of the MP as we would like to collate our coverage of this campaign.

If you get a reply, I would also be interested in hearing about that.

I don't need personal names or any other information. I have someone who is willing to set up a summary of MPs contacted.

It's up to you - sending the email is the most important thing so that TPTB know that we are still watching and we are NOT going away!

Thank you, IWTT
