9 yrs is a long time when you compare it to the sentences for sexual offences. I'm not downplaying her ordeal but scars aren't always visable.

Really?... I don't know, wow if that's the case then no doubt it was a shockingly lenient sentence. The poor woman

Yeah. I'm sure it was an abusive relationship and she lied to the nurses when she went to hospital for treatment and then it was after she finally ended the relationship that he retaliated with the acid attack. She's honestly such an inspiration how she turned all of that around and used it to help other people.

It sounds like that was the boyfriend who was abusive though and this is the guy who was only 19 at the time and was persuaded to carry out the attack on his behalf

Oh that's good, is the boyfriend still behind bars?

...it shouldn’t make a difference though in the sentence in that it doesn’t feel appropriate to his part compared to how her life has changed...this just kind of shows so many wrongs in the justice system because it has always been based on punishments being fitting the crime..and this just doesn’t imo...there was no emotion involved for him in the same way, he agreed to enact something evil to someone who meant nothing to him in any deep way, who hade done nothing to him...that’s a very worrying individual to be in society after such a short term imo...

...so far as the actual boyfriend is concerned..?...I read that he threw boiling hot water in someone’s face in a previous assault ...and then to ‘instruct’ this to be done to Katie..?...having also raped and assaulted her...yeah throw away the key please in this instance...two extremely worrying individuals...
