Emily Drury, 26, teacher, jailed for four and a half years after sexually abusing teenage boy.

Our thanks to Jeff for this. An extract:

“In mitigation, barrister Jeremy James described Drury’s offending as an “uncharacteristic, fantastical relationship” as a form of “escaping the reality of her life”.

On sentencing, Judge James House KC said Drury had “failed to fully accept the magnitude of harm caused” to the boy.””

Award-winning American artist Jessica Cook presents her latest masterpiece. It involves a rope and a bucket.

Our thanks to Gerry for this (video, 0:42). The meaning of the piece will be clear to admirers of modern art. The goose-stepping obviously evokes the Nazis, which suggests a statement on fascism. “Bucket” rhymes with “f*** it”, “rope” rhymes with “hope”. The three things combine to make Cook’s insightful critique of fascism, which goes some way to explaining why she wins awards.

“Bucket” is a word often employed by writers of the limerick, an example being this (one of several) on Wikipedia, about the American island of Nantucket:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

Lies by Emma Hook, 37, led to innocent man’s detention. Suspended sentence.

Our thanks to Graham for this. An extract:

“Hook’s learning difficulties, which included being “emotionally inadequate and vulnerable”, did temper her offending, the judge said.

Hedworth said he could lock Hook up but that would leave her “ill-equipped” to cope with her issues in the future.

She will have to work with probation service as part of her suspended sentence to aid rehabilitation, the court heard.”

Katie Piper says women ‘shouldn’t be jailed’ as ITV Loose Women star calls for huge change to justice system.

Our thanks to Gerry for this. The irony is, of course, that only a very small proportion of women who should be jailed are jailed. No ‘huge change to justice system’ required.
