Police have released the custody image of a 56-year-old man who was jailed for two years for possessing “abhorrent” child porn – after being cleared by a jury of exposing themselves to two 11-year-old girls.

Samantha Norris, who is in the process of “gender transitioning” from a man to a woman, pleaded guilty to three charges of making indecent images of children of categories A, B and C, one count of possessing prohibited images of children and a charge of possessing an extreme pornographic image depicting a person engaging in sexual activity with an animal.

They entered the pleas following the trial where they were cleared of charges of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and of indecent exposure. Norris had made a New Year’s resolution to have sex with a girl under the age of 10 this year.

As well as the prison sentence, Judge Nicholas Rowland made Norris subject to a sexual harm prevention order for 10 years. Southampton Crown Court heard that the defendant had 16,000 images of children including about 2,000 still and 121 moving images of category A seriousness. The images included children aged as young as three with others showing youngsters aged about six in “distress and pain”, the court heard.

Sentencing Norris, judge Rowland said that Norris had also in their possession written notes describing sexual fantasies involving a four-and-a-half year old child and a “New Year’s resolution to have sex with a girl under 10”.

He told the defendant: “It’s all about you Samantha Norris and not the victims. You do not accept they are victims, you have distorted views and you do not feel your offending should be treated as serious – how would a right-minded person think about that?

“Your views are alarming and complex – you present a high risk of harm to children. It’s pretty blatant to me that you decided not to enter guilty pleas (earlier) as these pleas would have gone in front of the jury on the other (exposure) matters.”

During the trial for the exposure and sexual activity charges of which Norris was cleared, the prosecution had claimed that the defendant had “exposed her penis” deliberately to the two youngsters through the window of their flat.

But Norris told the court that they were a naturist who was “habitually naked” in their own home and that the children could only have seen them naked if they had been “spying” on them.

Norris also said that they had been the victim of abuse from youngsters in the town and they felt that these girls had been “taunting” them.

As a woman, we do not accept this person as one of us. Regardless of someone’s gender, these crimes are some of the worst a person can do. As a human, we do not accept this person as one of us.

The Pendle Witch Trials: A Dark Chapter in English History

The Pendle Witch Trials were a series of witch trials that took place in Lancashire, England, in 1612. Twelve people were accused of witchcraft, and eleven were found guilty and executed. The trials were highly controversial, and remain a subject of fascination and debate to this day.

The trials began after a local peddler named John Law fell ill and died shortly after being cursed by a young woman named Alizon Device. Device was arrested and accused of witchcraft, and she soon confessed to consorting with the Devil and harming others. Her confession implicated several other people, including her own grandmother, Elizabeth Southerns (also known as “Old Demdike”).

The accused were brought to trial at Lancaster Castle on August 18, 1612. The evidence against them was largely based on confessions, which had been extracted under torture. The accused were also subjected to a number of bizarre and archaic tests, such as being pricked with pins to see if they bled (witches were not supposed to bleed), and being weighed against a Bible to see if they were lighter than air (witches were believed to be able to fly).

In the end, eleven of the accused were found guilty and executed by hanging. One of the accused, Elizabeth Device, died in prison before she could be brought to trial.

The Pendle Witch Trials were a dark chapter in English history. They were a product of a time when people were deeply superstitious and fearful of witchcraft. The trials were also used to settle personal scores and vendettas.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the Pendle Witch Trials. Historians have begun to re-examine the evidence and to challenge the traditional view of the trials. Some historians have argued that the accused were innocent, and that the trials were a miscarriage of justice.

Others have argued that the accused were guilty, but that they should not have been executed. They argue that the trials were unfair, and that the evidence against the accused was unreliable.

Regardless of whether the accused were guilty or innocent, the Pendle Witch Trials remain a tragic and unforgettable episode in English history.

The Pendle Witch Trials were significant for a number of reasons. First, they were one of the most notorious witch trials in English history. Second, they were the subject of a great deal of public interest and attention. Third, they had a lasting impact on the way that witchcraft was perceived in England.

The Pendle Witch Trials also played a role in shaping the development of English law. The trials helped to establish the precedent that confessions obtained under torture were admissible in court. This precedent was used in many subsequent witch trials, and it contributed to the conviction of many innocent people.

The Pendle Witch Trials are a reminder of the dangers of superstition and the importance of fairness and justice. They are also a reminder of the importance of critical thinking and skepticism.
