Fifty-five-year-old Robert Berry of Parksville has been sentenced to six months in jail and three years probation for possession of child pornography (The NEWS, Dec. 3).
I have no doubt that Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman speaks the truth when he says “The RCMP takes child pornography... very seriously.”
Apparently though, our judicial system does not. Six months in jail for individuals like this is not just laughable, but a crime in and of itself.
