Man jailed for three years for sexually abusing neighbour when she was a child Judge Gabbett said that for the man’s former partner to view the live stream “is something that would have been horrific”. However, Judge Gabbett has granted the man a one-year licence after a medical report handed into court concluded that the man currently doesn’t suffer from mental stress and doesn’t pose an immediate risk to himself and others at present.
He said: “He worked as a barber where he had access to scissors and razors and there was no incident of any sort. He is well got.” Judge Gabbett told him “you need to be very careful about your mental health. Monitor it, go to your doctor, keep on top of your mental health".
