Pillories. No lasting harm done...

Without digressing from aviation too much, individuals were on occasion killed or maimed for life while in a pillory. Maybe punishment to that extent is not quite what you had in mind.

Nonetheless extremely stupid and potentially dangerous behaviour by the alleged individual if proven in due course.

What an cough! Throw the book at him!

Why is it in all these cases after an offender was caught, they are diagnosed with some form of disability - autism, bed wetting, bullied as a child, mum once told him off for being naughty, stubbed his toe on a step. I'm sick and tired of these pathetic people & their excuses! Own up to your actions!

The court has previously heard that Sant has autism. He has also undergone psychological testing and had been linked with a disability support worker.
