Read [this Guardian article](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/01/michael-dunn-redcar-paedophile-jailed-27-years) and give your kids a hug.

> [@](#):
>
> A violent paedophile who made a hiding place in his home to conceal a girl he was abusing has been jailed for 27 years for a string of serious sex offences.
> 
> Michael Dunn, 57, from Redcar, knocked through the wall behind his fridge to create a cavity which he used to hide the girl – who had run away from home – from the police.
> 
> He had four victims, raping one aged 10 or 11, over a period of decades, Teesside crown court heard.

My niece is 10. One set of grandparents live near Teesside.

This vile, evil, and depraved man has been brought to justice and been sentenced. He will not enjoy his time in prison: British criminals have a special contempt for abusers of children. But he can just sit there and rot, and I am not unhappy with that.

I do hope he sees the error of his ways and repents and reforms, but I doubt he will.

Why _only_ 27 years?

[This scumbag got 18 years](http://metro.co.uk/2015/11/15/man-jailed-after-squirting-kids-with-water-pistol-loaded-with-his-semen-5504157/) for squirting kids with a water gun filled with his semen. Isn’t the OP’s scumbag ten times worse?

ETA: never mind. UK/US apples/oranges
