Joseph McCann in custody

aye, somebody not doing job on parole board, or sentencing, and the people suffer

Seems a real vile character. Surely serious enough for a whole life tariff when sentenced given how dangerous he is too women.

He should get a life sentence with no chance of parole ever and hopefully his new neighbours on the wing will give him what he deserves.

The attacks involved a total of 12 victims, aged between 11 and 71, the Metropolitan Police said. 

In 2 weeks WTF ??

me too

give the fellow a break guys,,,,,,everyone deserves a second chance surely

at least he doesn,t drink drive like richie burnett

Unbelievable to think that scum like this McCann fellow deserve a second chance. People like him should be sat in the electric chair/shot/hanged (take your pick) within an hour of being found guilty.Pointless keeping them in prison at our expense,just eradicate them and move on.

A bit of led behind his ear would do him the world of good.

wtf at this now !

A man accused of 21 offences including eight rapes has been visited by a judge in prison after refusing to appear in court. Joseph McCann, 34, of Aylesbury, is charged with the kidnap and rape of multiple people aged between 11 and 71. Mr McCann had refused to leave his cell at Belmarsh prison in south London to attend Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Chief magistrate Emma Arbuthnot said a hearing would instead be held in the visitors' room at Belmarsh. Ms Arbuthnot said McCann "turned his back on the court to begin with" and he did not sit or give his name.

He is said to have health issues which are being investigated.

The BBC's home affairs correspondent June Kelly said it was "believed to be an unprecedented first appearance by a defendant in a criminal case". Earlier, prosecutor Tetteh Turkson told Westminster Magistrates' Court Mr McCann was "not being co-operative".

He was also brought to court on Wednesday but refused to appear in the dock.

Mr McCann is due to appear at the Old Bailey on 23 May.

Bet he co-operates when he's hungry.

A man embarked on a series of "depraved" sex attacks on women and children, one as young as 11, a court has heard.

The jury was told the defendant's "spree of sex attacks" started in Watford before continuing in London, Greater Manchester and Cheshire. One 21-year-old woman was grabbed at knifepoint and bundled into a car as she walked home with her sister from a Watford nightclub on 21 April. Prosecutor John Price QC said she was released later that morning in a "state of great distress".

A 25-year-old woman was abducted as she walked home in Walthamstow, east London, just after midnight on 25 April. Mr Price said the defendant told her "to stop screaming or he would stab her" then dragged her into a car "and drove off". The court heard the woman was raped "many times" by Mr McCann in various locations over the next 14 hours and subjected to acts of "shocking depravity and violence".

"He made her call him 'daddy' and say that she was a child. At one point the man parked the car near to a school, saying that he wanted to make her rape a child," Mr Price said. Later the same day, and while still holding the woman prisoner, the defendant abducted a 21-year-old woman in Edgware, north London, as she walked along the street with her sister, the court heard. CCTV of the woman being bundled into a silver people carrier just after midday was played to the jury. Mr Price said she "suffered a similar fate" to the 25-year-old woman before the pair managed to escape while in Watford where Mr McCann had booked a hotel room for two nights.

He told the jury they would have come to "further harm" but one of the women hit their captor over the head with a vodka bottle and some builders "bravely" intervened to prevent them being recaptured.

The attacks resumed 10 days later in the North West of England where, over 12 hours on 5 May, three women, three young girls and a boy of 11 were assaulted, the Old Bailey heard.

Mr McCann allegedly conned his way into a mother's Greater Manchester home where he tied her to the bed and raped her 17-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son.

The court heard he then abducted a 71-year-old woman who was in her car at a Morrisons car park. He raped her and also sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl before both managed to escape at Knutsford Service Station on the M6, the court heard.

The 34-year-old is accused of then snatching two 14-year-old girls in Cheshire.

Mr McCann, who was not in court, denies the charges.

Will he be deported back to Ireland?

This is the sort of person who should be tortured every day until he is physically and mentally broken.
Then left in solitary confinement forever to suffer

All the above x 10. I have no qords for this, at least none that could be put on here.

Should be made to rot in prison with no food and water. Or taken out to the desert in a metal cage with a tarpaulin as roof until he roasts to death. He does not warrant any humanity towards him.

We need the Death Penalty back , as an Alternative to a Full life term , ITS TIME TO RECONSIDER ....

I'd expect life with 20 year minimum.

Only if he votes Labour. I'd expect him to remain in prison for the rest of his life.
