I think it will take a very strong judge to send him down for this one, because with the prisons crisis, and the emphasis on community sentencing, you have to have been exceptionally criminal to get even a short sentence in prison.
Ah mate don't get me started on the prison crisis. It's over exaggerated, and some judges were clearly trying to score political points in saying they couldn't jail pedophiles because there were no cells.

The space was there, they just wanted to send out a message that they disaproved of the labour govornments promptings for not giving custodial sentences to relatively minor offences.

The judge who said he couldnt' send Keith Morris to prison straight away should have been the subject of a rebuke for pulling a crazy publicity stunt like that
