PAEDOPHILES are getting softer sentences as the criminal justice system struggles to deal with the rise in offenders, a legal expert has warned.

Judges previously jailed those caught with indecent pictures of children, but many now get suspended sentences or community orders instead.

Past high-profile cases include The Thick Of It star Chris Langham, who was convicted on 15 counts of downloading indecent images of children.

Langham, 75, was jailed for ten months in 2007, later reduced to six months. But jail time for paedos is now rare.
