Suspended Sentence For Sexual Exploitation

May 8, 2012

22-year-old Joshua Crockwell of Pembroke received a 15 month suspended sentence for sexually exploiting a 12-year-old girl when he was 20 years old.

ZBM reported that during the sentence hearing Mr Crockwell was described as “first time offender with good character who managed to maintain a clean lifestyle, notwithstanding the charge to which he was being sentenced.”

Mr Crockwell, who was defended by Elizabeth Christopher, apologized and said “nothing like this would happen again.” The 22-year-old served as a firefighter, but has been suspended for two years due to these charges.

    Since this fool has dated two celebrities this news has made international sites. Now Bermuda will be internationally known as the place where judges have more tolerance over attempted pedophiles than herb smokers. Great way to make IB workers with families feel safe about moving to Bermuda. This freak is lucky this wasn’t my child cause I wouldn’t care what supposed clean lifestyle he maintained. No need for me to press charges if this happened to my family because I would become judge, jury & executioner Frank Castle style.

    Pardon my ignorance, but doesn’t the law books state that a girl under the age of 16 does not have the mental capacity to make these kind of decisions? I am sick n tired of Bermuda’s judges and their “God like complex” (not all of them). We have Warner letting professors who hide drugs in their crotch off; Tokumbo letting a paedophile walk free;and Chin in Family Court letting fathers pay 100 dollars a week …in Bermuda!!!!! This pervert did it to the right CHILD …had it been my daughter they would have found his arse with critical parts missing!!!!!!! Oh yea best believe he would be worth me doing time!!!!!! Bermuda we gotta do sumthing NOW!!!!!!
