The trial heard Martin, who owned an antiques business in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket area, had left Scotland and moved to Thailand around 2010 and married a local woman and the pair had a child together.........His family in Thailand are said to “remain supportive” and that Martin plans to return to the country when he is released.

 

Don't think his family realise he will be ending his days in a grubby hostel, in Scotland

But he still got a new passport when the old one expires?

 

It seems that whilst they are old cases, he was only sentenced in October this year

He has not needed a passport for the last 14 months.

The court was told Martin had been arrested in Thailand on an International Extradition Warrant and has spent the last 14 months in custody.

How the heck did he hide in Thailand for 40 years?! Was there just no notice to arrest him from Interpol until recently? If that is the case, then he wasn't exactly hiding, as he must have had to renew his Passport many times in 40 years. Sounds like they weren't really pursuing him all that time.

Hopefully he dies in jail before his 3-1/2 years is up, maybe the British convicts are like the US ones, they don't like child predators. 

Sex offenders are segregated in UK jails for there protection

I wonder if he continued his paedophilia while he was living in Thailand and if there was a constant stream of thick brown envelopes covering up his evil activities?

In a remarkable breakthrough for law enforcement, a Scottish man hiding in Thailand for 40 years has been extradited and jailed for historical sexual crimes against children.

 

John Martin, 74, originally from Haddington, East Lothian, was returned from Bangkok to face justice in Scotland after committing decades-old abuse.

 

Martin, a former antiques dealer, was convicted of three counts of child sexual abuse on 25 October at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. His offences spanned across Perth and Kinross, Fife, and East Lothian, affecting two young victims between the 1980s and 1990s.

 

The Edinburgh court sentenced Martin to three years and three months in prison. His name will be added permanently to the sex offenders register, and he is barred from any contact with his victims for 20 years.

 

Lynne Barrie, procurator fiscal for Lothian and Borders, denounced him as a "sexual predator" who traumatised vulnerable girls, and praised the victims' courage for coming forward.

 

Martin's capture and trial were the result of a coordinated effort involving Police Scotland, the National Crime Agency (NCA), the Royal Thai Police's Central Investigation Bureau, and Thailand's Office of the Attorney General.

 

This complex international operation highlights the determination of these agencies to pursue justice for such grave crimes.

 

Duncan Burrage, NCA Liaison Officer for Thailand, remarked on the agency's commitment to tracking down British child sex offenders worldwide.

 

Sergeant Richard Robson of Police Scotland expressed solidarity with the victims and their families, acknowledging their bravery in reporting the crimes and ensuring that Martin faced consequences for his heinous acts.

 

As justice is served, there remains a firm commitment from law enforcement to protect vulnerable individuals and hold offenders accountable, regardless of the time or distance involved in their capture, reported STV news.

That seems an unusually short sentence. He'll be out in 20 months, or even less.

2 choices...

1- general population and hope no one finds out.

2- Put himself on 'rule 43' (self protection), where you spend your time away from other prisoners and danger but are surrounded by all the other 'nasties'

He will probably do less than 2 years and if the 14 months in a Thai prison is taken into account he will be out in months and not years under Labour.

Even of there were Notices, they are not arrest warrants/demands, they are just advisory notices that police forces can act upon or ignore.

This whole thing seems strange. Has it taken 40 years or were the crimes just reported after 40 years? If this is after 40 years this should scare every man because all it would take is some disgruntled or jealous person from your past that wants to destroy you. How can you defend yourself? God I struggle to remember what I ate 2 days ago. I know this is kiddy fiddling which is disgusting but it could easily be rape and if you didn't know in the uk if you take a girl home, even if girlfriend she is up for fun and she has had a drink (not drunk) then later she says "I didn't want sex". The man is charged with rape. After 40 years!!!

 

And?
