Challenge the non custodial sentence of Patrick Rock for Child abuse images

In his role as Deputy Head of the Home Affairs policy unit he held responsibility for co-ordination of the government response to the problem of abusive images of children on the internet.



We believe that the Judge Alistair McCreath's comment that Rock's punishment was, "the loss of your reputation and your very public humiliation', indicates a preferential approach to the sentencing of child sex offenders seemingly dependent on their social status and privilege. We demand that his sentence be reviewed and increased to reflect the impact on the victims and the fact that he brought into disrepute his position of trust and responsibility in relation to his specialist role in government.
