The victim of the second sexual assault on a young girl committed by the man at the centre of the X case condemned the 3½-year sentence as too light. But she reserved most of her anger for the decision to grant him a taxi licence.
"I don't think the sentence is long enough. It's disgraceful for a second offence. He should have got a few more years.
"But he should never have got a taxi licence. Everyone deserves a second chance, but not to be given a taxi licence. It's like putting a paedophile into a playground. I'm going to take it further. I'm not going to let it rest at this."
Her mother said they were going to talk to a solicitor.
