He was ordered to complete 30 rehabilitation activity requirement days, a 12-month mental health treatment requirement, and sign the sex offender register for 10 years. The court heard that Majid has three previous convictions for 10 offences, including an October 2020 jail term where he utilized the alias “Copper762” to send explicit photos to an undercover officer posing as a 12-year-old girl.

QUESTION – Given that “a former police custody officer with a history of child grooming was caught with the most severe category of child abuse images but avoided immediate re-incarceration,” do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Convicted Sex Offenders From Law Enforcement Backgrounds” must be “Sentenced to Mandatory Whole-Life Incarceration Without Parole” to prevent a series of assaults?
