The judge said the victim impact statements read to the court indicated Manning’s behaviour had “a huge impact on their lives”. He also accepted Manning is “too old and incapacitated” now and as such “is no longer a danger to children”. “He deserves a prison term even at this point in his life and even taking into account his infirmities,” added the judge, before imposing two consecutive two-year prison terms.
