Judge tells teacher sex offender: 'I don't criticise you for being attracted to children'

'David Armstrong, a supply teacher, escaped jail with a suspended sentence after admitting possessing 4,500 indecent images of children.
As she allowed the 63-year-old to walk free from court, Judge Mary Jane Mowat told him: “I don't criticise you for being a teacher who's attracted to children.“
"Many teachers are but they keep their urges under control both when it comes to children and when it comes to images of children."
Child abuse campaigners yesterday described the comments as “outrageous” and an insult to victims.'
