'If a child is old enough to talk, it’s old enough to have sex', shameless sex offender tells cops
The court denied the pedophile's appeal to travel abroad to another country where he would be able to have and develop a sexual relationship with children
A court denied the appeal of a convicted pervert who told them that he wanted to travel to other countries where he would be able to have sex with children. The decision meant that his movements would be restricted abroad. The 37-year-old Jason Leonard was described by authorities at the court hearing as "one of the most dangerous" registered sex offenders in the region. Leonard, who hails from Haslingden, Lancashire, openly admitted that he wanted the freedom to travel abroad to a country where the legal age of consent is lower so that he could have and develop a sexual relationship there.
The Rossendale Free Press reported that Leonard told the police before the hearing that his "ideal" partner would be between the age of 12 and 14.
