Promise after indecent child image case
The public will help decide on sentencing options for anyone found guilty of possessing and distributing indecent images of children.
Minister for Home Affairs Bill Malarkey says it'll go out to public consultation as part of a wider review of 'outdated' sexual offences legislation this summer.
Sentencing options for such crimes is now being decided by the Attorney General's Chambers.
It seeks to replace the Sexual Offences Act 1992.
Mr Malarkey says current legislation isn't up to scratch:
Manx Care asks all GPs to formally adopt Jess's Rule
Government 'taking rising fuel prices seriously'
Motion to sell Old Castletown Police Station to be put before Tynwald
DOI issues 'final' offer to bus drivers
Hospice's 'essential core services' will remain protected
