Title: Tobias Bruce Oxford robber not sentenced for countless robberies on sex workers.
Post by: English Green on 28 December 2019, 01:39:52 am
He was caught after a manhunt from police and put on remand for robberies on sex workers in hotels. Unfortunately he has not paid for his crimes and charges all cleared now as the victims decided to not turn up for court. Such a shame and waste of police time.

I honestly feel if they had to testify their lawyers should of had provided video evidence to protect the victims sometimes I feel uk justice is weak.

You can get a lot of those options if you cannot face the court room. There is help and advice along the way. The police and CPS did there job caught him and put him away til trial but if the victims will not go through with giving evidence then they walk. Must be so frustrating for the police and prosecution when they work so hard to get these monsters off the street then it falls apart.

Disappointing ...his face is all over the interweb if anyone needs to know.

Authorities hopefully did everything possible but if witnesses don't turn up it's game over.

If sex work was not so stigmatized and frown upon by society maybe these women would have shown up in court. I'm guessing these victims had families, children, other career etc... and didn't want to "out" themselves (?). In the meanwhile the bad guys will get away with evil stuff because of this reason. It's a vicious cicle. The good news is that his face and name is all over the web.

Bruce - who has 22 previous convictions for 38 offences - today admitted possessing the drugs and assaulting the officer.

In mitigation his barrister Lucy Tapper said her client had 'an unenviable record' and had struggled with 'impulsivity' in the past.

She added Bruce was now trying to turn his life around.

Sentencing, Judge Maria Lamb said: "I really hope that it is right that you have decided to turn a corner now."

Bruce was jailed for five months for the assault and a further one week for the drugs charges, and must pay £250 compensation.




It says he’s been jailed for 5 months ? (for other offences)

Googling his name reveals a long, long history five years ago, 7 years ago - reported to have an 'unenviable' and 'long' record.

He also kidnapped an escort and her boyfriend and held them for ransom threatening to kill them said he felt bad and regretted doing it after in court but after that he was out robbing escorts again in hotels. He is pure evil such a shame he never got 10 or 15 years for all the Oxford robberies that would have been a long stretch without him being on the streets.

Like someone else said keep an image of his face online or print off a copy i would imagine he will be back targeting sex workers again.

He's now dead. Murdered apparently.
