Rejected petition Government to Persecute British Peadophiles who have committed crimes in foreign countries
More details
Following the examples of America and Australia, I believe the UK Government should create a protect act to persecute British peadophiles who have been found guilty of commiting sexual crimes in foreign countries and jailing the peadophiles who are of British nationality in the same length in foreign countries as we would in Britain.
It's appalling that western peadophiles are getting sentenced to jail for as low as 12 months in Southeast Asia and possibly even released freely back into our country where the public will have no knowledge of the nature of the criminal who has a strong probability of preying onto our younger generations.
