(Peterborough, England) Due to a comedy of actions by the legal and the medical communities, a life-long pedophile is free to walk the streets while being prescribed Viagra.
Roger Martin was first convicted of child molestation in 1978 and, like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps going and going -- thanks to Viagra. The latest act of molestation was reported this week when 71-year-old Martin pleaded guilty to molesting an 11-year-old girl.
Many folks are outraged and all are scratching their heads while blaming "the system."
It was revealed in court that he was being prescribed Viagra by his GP to treat diabetes. The probation service said it had no powers or any inclination to stop him taking the drug."Relatively modest risk of reoffending" my ass! He's a time bomb!
Spokesman John McAngus said: 'We could not and would not restrict the use of prescription medication, be it Viagra or anything else. What we do is our utmost to help sex offenders address their offending behaviour.'
And despite his history of molesting children and the likelihood of Viagra enhancing his sex drive, the pre-trial probation report stated that Martin posed a 'relatively modest' risk of reoffending.
His barrister pleaded for leniency, arguing that his client 'wouldn't be able to cope' with a spell in prison and should be treated in the community.
Reluctantly, Judge Nicholas Coleman agreed to impose a non-custodial sentence because of Martin's age and ill-health, even though there is nothing to stop him continuing to take Viagra and reoffending.
