Life for sex attacker with HIV virus
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A child sex attacker who is HIV positive was yesterday jailed for life after the Old Bailey was told that he displayed no concern whether his victims might catch the virus.
Judge Brian Capstick told Timothy Tobin, 25, that it was clear he posed a serious danger to the public, in particular young people.
Tobin "totally denied being a danger to young people" despite a conviction for indecently assaulting an 11-year-old girl and the charge he was jailed for yesterday - a serious sexual offence against a boy of 13.
