Could people please stop quoting the Bible and throwing it at our face!
To be religious and spiritual is one thing but this is verging on the Fundamentalist!

@ Reuben Bartolo
Which of the too many bibles are you quoting from please?
Numbers 31:18
18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
May I ask how many virgin girls do we have, then to be saved?
If I am not mistaken 99.9 of the girls aren’t virgin!
Judges 19:24
24 Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But to this man, don't do such a disgraceful thing."

who are you to judge? are you God? do you know the all the facts? could it be that the girl is lying? its seems that anyone that comment is sure that she did not or that she wanted to do so on her free will without any force! ok, let us kill the boy and than see if he is innocent and than may be we pray for him. who is without a sin throw the first stone.

A. Muscat, are you sure you want to follow the bible on paedophilia?
Numbers 31:18
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Judges 19:24
"Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish. But do not commit such an act of folly against this man."

Mr Millam, your opinion is commendable but not enough. These sickos should be locked for the remainder of their life. Paedophiles are hard-wired to be attracted to children the same was that non-paedophiles are attracted to adults of either sex. Paedophilia cannot be cured, and the only way to control it is by avoiding the pervert from meeting any victims. We cannot honestly lock the children up for life, so we should lock the perverts, and throw away the key.

The law should be changed, these people should be hanged and as withthe case of rape the men who do it should be castrated.And don't any doogooder mention human rights, these people have abused the rights of others so they shouldnt have any rights afforded to them.

It’s all about lack of morality. We should start using logic and follow the bible.
Look here what the bible says about a trivial incident- I wonder what the bible says about the above?
Deuteronomy 25:11-12
11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

Malta DESPERATELY needs to overhaul its penal code to better protect minors from predators like this one and the other guy who today admitted in court to raping his three grandkids. Convicted rapists and the like of them should have their name published and their punishment should ensure that they are incarcerated for a long, long, long time to ensure that they do not have the opportunity of ever repeating their heinous crimes against minors. Suspended jail sentences SHOULD NOT even be an option and something along the lines of 10 years MINIMUM prison time per offense should be handed down, as a lesson to the perpetrators and to others who even think of committing such horrible and despicable crimes.
