Did he plead guilty? Would that give him a lesser punishment?

He did plead guilty. However the prosecution had clear evidence that he was guilty that he possessed these images. It wasn't a balance of probability or a he said, they said, blah blah.

A guilty plea in cases does give the judge cause to reduce a sentence. In this case it sends absolutely no message to these abusers that they will have a harsh sentence or indeed a custodial one.

So just like hr in a lot of big companies then, and smaller ones tbh, I’ve only recently realised that hr is effectively more for the employers than employees

HR isn't there for the employees. HR is there a a buffer between the management and the workers. You are told to report issues to HR, that's like tipping them the wink. They will work to save the company at the expense often of the vulnerable.

Not surprised it's been removed. Anyone can post any old rubbish online. He's somewhere for his mental health. Maybe the Priory. He's not in an everyday hospital.

Also I have seen a few people use the word "commit" or "committed" to do with suicide. This is why the term isn't used no more and why language matters.

It's crucial that professionals are alert to the different ways in which children and young people might express suicidal thoughts or feelings. They can then work to engage and support children at risk.
