Honestly this doesn’t surprise me half as much as it should.
Everybody, I’d like you to meet (or maybe not) Richard Fenton from Manchester, England.
Back in 2020, Richard here was on social media talking to someone he presumed was a 12-year old girl and precisely because he thought he was talking to a 12-year old girl he tried to incite her into sexual activity by sending dick pics, demanded she send him nudes and to have sex with another child half her age.
In reality, Richard was talking to an online vigilante group who specialize in uncovering adult sexual predators and, because of the vile nature of the conversation Richard was having with this fake profile of a 12 year old girl, the police in the area were alerted that they had a nonce in the neighborhood.
Evidence of the online exchange was turned over, looked at and pronounced that Mr. Fenton was engaging in that old pastime of Begging To Be Arrested to which, in November of 2020, the cops willingly obliged him.
Mr. Fenton was arrested and charged with arranging a sexual offense with a child - and he also had some weed on him.
What is even more incredible is while he was engaging in a conversation with what he believed was a 12-year old girl Fenton was also concurrently carrying on another conversation with yet another 12-year old girl who he tried to engage in a conversation of a sexual nature even after Fenton was informed the “girl” he was talking to told him her age.
But that meant precisely Sweet Fuck All to our fair-haired boy. Just to show how much he desired to have sex with this 12-year old girl (who, by the way, wasn’t a 12 year old girl but an online profile run by law enforcement - so no actual 12 year old was in any danger of harm) he sent her dick pics, demanded she send nudes and even tried to arrange to meet her somewhere.
Predictably - and predictably stupid - Mr. Fenton made bail and then violated the terms of his release by contacting yet a third 13 year old girl whom he, once again, sent dick pics, demanded she send nudes and tried to get her to meet him somewhere.
Again, to be clear, this wasn’t an actual 13 year old but an online profile run by an undercover operative.
Mr. Fenton was yet again engaged in that old pastime of Begging To Be Arrested and, in January 2021, the police - once again - were all too happy to oblige on suspicion of a number of child sexual abuse offenses.
Twenty-one, to be exact.
Electronic devices recovered from Mr. Fenton under forensic examination found multiple indecent images of children, including a large number of child sexual abuse images and images of young children, removing any doubt that Richard Fenton was a serial pedophile.
Detective Constable (DC) Ceri Martin from Manchester Police’s sexual crime unit said: “Fenton is a pedophile who knowingly attempted to exploit children for his own sexual gratification. This behavior is deplorable and completely unacceptable. The safety of our children is a top priority in Greater Manchester and I hope today’s sentencing spreads the message to anyone thinking of engaging in this type of behavior that it will not be tolerated.”
And this would have been the end of it: the evidence is not in controversy, they have this nonce dead to rights and Mr. Fenton plead guilty to 21 counts and, just as they were about to sentence him to 10 years in April 2022…
Go on, you know you know the answer.
You know exactly what he said.
Yeah, you know what he plead to the court.
That’s right - Richard is now Rachel, or at least he’s in the process of becoming.
You, my lovely, intelligent readers, aren’t at all surprised at this revelation nor are you in any doubt as to what Mr. Fenton is angling for - mainly to be housed in a women’s prison as the male prison he’s currently housed in now is most likely inhospitable for him (for a nonce, it usually is as there’s quite a bit of that whole “honor among criminals” thing, even in Jolly Olde England).
I would like to think that the court is seeing right through this bullshit for what it really is but, sadly, this is the UK and therein lies the problem: there’s every chance in the world Fenton is going to be granted authorization to be housed in a women’s facility where about only 1/3rd of the crime they’re locked up for is not paying their television license fees.
It’s true: nearly 1/3rd of women currently locked up in prison is because women, for reasons mostly economic, are languishing in prison for failing to pay their television license fees (yes, Americans, in England you have to pay for license to own a television) and are six times more likely than men to be incarcerated even though men and women commit this crime equally.
England is a country that is too silly - and too stupid - to exist that they would lock up women more than men committing the same crime and that they would allow a man to be locked in a women’s prison because he says he’s one of the ladies.
But I really shouldn’t be too harsh on the UK as I live in California and we’re no strangers to this.
How ‘bout a paid subscription, yeah? Go on…you know you want to.
William, this morning, I got an email about an interview with 2 guys I subscribe to who's championing toxic masculinity as good. https://war.jermwarfare.com/l/2tsyFB4pQQwP0RsdN4HlZA/I8StZ0cErm8g94hVtfwvHQ/Zq2OJGsUULVkb28vbZ3ccA
I just didn't know where to begin and then I saw your post here. Since Mark MacDonald doesn't care to listen to women, maybe explain to him the work that you do?
My position is that toxic masculinity AND toxic femininity both exist and are unhealthy expressions of our unique male and female selves. I believe that our patriarchal culture enables this predatory behaviour and that not only women suffer, but men do as well.
He's on Substack as well. I've even paid for a subscription so that I could share my concern about his beliefs that women should be more submissive and men more dominant. He thinks it would solve all our problems.
I'm going to share your post here on his Substack, but it won't carry much weight, I'm sure. Women are being erased, violated, annihilated in ways that men simply cannot fathom - except you from what I can see.
Thank you for all that you do.
This doesn’t even fill me with the horror that it should , I’m just like surprise surprise
I honestly don’t know what it’s going to take to wake folk up
