SIR - Convicted rapist David Laverly left his victim "in a dark place" and "utterly totally and catastrophically traumatised".

Judge Durham tells him: "You are probably still dangerous". He then goes on to jail for four years, he'll probably be out before serving three.

Well done Judge Durham, we need more judges like you, perhaps collecting supermarket trolleys or stacking their shelves.
