Capill prime candidate for chemical castration


Alexander: Capill prime candidate for chemical castration

United Future law and order spokesman, Marc Alexander, says the disgraced former leader of the Christian Heritage Party, Graham Capill, is a prime candidate for chemical castration, should he ever be considered for release from prison.

“Frankly, I could not understand why this self-confessed paedophile was treated differently from other paedophiles when he first appeared in court and was remanded at large for sentencing,” said Mr Alexander.

“Today’s admission by the former Christian Heritage Party leader of yet more appalling abuse of young children is proof yet again that paedophilia is not a one-off crime, but a serial offence.

“I hope he stays in jail for a very long time. The harm he has done is incalculable and all my sympathies are with his victims,” said Mr Alexander.
