sentenced to a measly fifteen months - disgraceful

Better than getting off with a fine and community service. Which at his age could have happened.

And he will have to be in segragation, because we all know what happens to nonces inside.....

He should have got at least 2/3 yrs but because he pleaded guilty at the last moment and his age one reason why he only got 15 months.

At his age he even may die in the nick..

sad world we live in

where is the justic in that :-(

Should have got longer if you ask me, but that's the justice system of this country!!

I thought that he would get a long sentence.

Let's hope that he serves all fifteen months.

Not only is he a child sex abuser. He is also a liar who has blatantly deceived his wife, family and the friends who stood by and supported him when he protested his innocence. I Hope he has a absolutely terrible time in prison and someone knocks the supercilious smile off his face.

His age has got nothing to do with it as far as I'm concerned, the ages of the kids he abused does,
Didn't concern him did it ?
Hope he gets some of his own medicine inside.

It is interesting listening to the news bulletins on the radio.

An hour ago he was referred to as "veteran broadcaster".

Now (on same station) he is "former broadcaster".

I wonder what he will be in the next bulletin.

Exactly the same happend with Sir Jimmy.

The Attorney General is to examine whether the 15-month sentence handed to broadcaster Stuart Hall for sexually abusing young girls was "unduly lenient".

The 83-year-old former It's A Knockout presenter was jailed earlier after admitting indecent assaults on 13 girls.

The attacks spanned three decades and involved children aged as young as nine.

A "small number" of complaints have been made about the sentence, prompting an investigation by the Attorney General's Office which has the power to refer the sentence to the Court of Appeal.

A lawyer representing some of Hall's victims said they felt "vindicated" after the sentencing.

A worker from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) - who gave Hall a good character reference during the trial - has since stepped down.

Harrowing details of the sex abuse suffered by his victims were described at Preston Crown Court.

castration without anaesthetic
is way to good for the likes of him :-(

He could be out on Parole within 5 months....if the other inmates don't get to him first.

Dear All

Hello

I was livid when I heard the sentence on the news.


Stuart Hall should have been given two years at least for each persons life
he ruined.

That way he would never have been released.


This judge and his decision makes a total mockery of the justice system.

There has not been any justice for the people who were abused.


Take gentle care
Very best wishes

Stuart Hall has had his sentence doubled today by the Court of Appeal.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23460778

Which means he will serve fifteen. He has already served some and they will take into account how long he was in custody.

Still not long.

still not long enough but at least it has acknowledged that it was too lenient in the first instance - so will he be enjoying his Christmas dinner in clink?

Still not long enough, but maybe he'll suffer some what whilst in there!!??

The judge who originally sentenced Stuart Hall, Judge Anthony Russell, said at the time of sentencing him, that for most of the offences the maximum sentence at the time they were committed was two years, but the remainder carried a potential term of five years.

At the time I did not think 15 months was long enough and I do not think the increase in the sentence today to 30 months is not long enough. Why if as said by the original judge that some potentially carried a term of five years, was it not increased to 5 years?

There again Lord Judge said today that some of the victims had written to the court and said they were disappointed by the Attorney General Dominic Grieve's decision to challenge the original length of the sentence, what they wrote may have had some bearing on today's decision but we will probably never know what these victims said in their letters to the court.

Still not long enough.He should have got at least 3/4 years for each abuse and it doesn't matter how long ago it happened.

The perpetrators are charged now so they should be serving the sentence that is today's current sentence.

String him up by his Rollocks and leave him hanging there for a few days.

Bet he would be saying ""my human rights are being contravened""

But what about the victims human rights especially when they were young,


Bet this gets RR'd.

Less than three years for molesting a nine year old child is not justice.

At least Isuppose it has been increased. I still hope that he serves the full thirty months (although I know that this is unlikely).

I hope that his family wash their hands of him and he has no where to go when he gets out.

Perhaps living on the streets at his age will be worse than being in prison.
