YESTERDAY was not a good one for three specific individuals. Nor was it a particularly good one for the issue of trust.

At Bournemouth Crown Court, a taxi driver turned rapist and a primary school teacher turned sick internet pervert were both sent to jail for their appalling offences. Meanwhile sex offender and broadcaster Stuart Hall had his jail term doubled on the application of the Attorney General.

All three of these people abused the trust that was mistakenly placed in them. They deserve all they got.

And much, much more.
