Justice has been served, NOT!



I know I have spoken about how much I hate peds already but here I go again...

Grrrrrr, I am really upset that convicted paedophile John Creasey is back on the streets in his home town of Plumstead after serving 4 of his 6 year sentence! This lowest of the low had been stalking, photographing and sexually assaulting young boys for more than 25 years before he was finally prosecuted and put in jail. Yet he was convicted on only the few charges he pleaded guilty to; nine charges of indecent assault on young boys and for the possession of the largest amount of child pornography ever confiscated in the Western Cape.

Creasey was dismissed from St. Joseph's College in Rondebosch (Cape Town) in 1995. He had been teaching there and taking children on hikes and running a photographic club when a parent brought it to the headmaster's attention that his son had been molested by Creasey.

The Headmaster of St. Joseph's went to Creasey's home and managed to get an admission from him. He then immediately suspended Creasey and informed the Western Cape education department of his actions.

Yet the same year, Creasey was hired as a teacher at Grassy Park High School. When he was arrested for sodomising an 8 year old boy, the students at the school were told that Creasey was in hospital. The headmaster of the school refused to be interviewed by a crew from Special Assignment while they were gathering evidence for their story. The full story can be read here: http://196.35.74.234/specialassignment/20050118script.html.

To all the little boys who will be approached by this monster in the future because we as a society have failed to keep him away from you, I humbly apologise and I am sad with all my heart. I can only hope your parents are smart enough to educate you about safety with strangers and setting personal boundaries.
