The 27-year-old is expected to be brought before a court in the near future to face charges over it. The Sun has discovered exact details of the offence, that will horrify the nation. But government lawyers last night threatened to gag us with an injunction if we revealed it in full. If Venables is found guilty of the offence, it will represent a staggering failure in his close supervision by the Justice Ministry's Probation Service. Aged ten, Venables and pal Robert Thompson were caged for torturing and battering two-year-old James on Merseyside in 1993. They were released on special licence amid huge controversy in 2001 with new identities and lives. They had to abide by a series of strict conditions, which would be monitored very closely by probation officers. Since Venables was picked up by cops last week, the Government has covered up why. Despite a huge public outcry - including 23,245 Sun readers signing a petition - they have refused to reveal what he has done. Late last night, Treasury solicitors acting on behalf of the Government's top legal adviser, the Attorney General, demanded we withhold any information about Venables' alleged offence. They argued that publishing full details of it would lead to his identification and potentially prejudice any criminal trial. Three out of four people want the reason for Venables' return to be confirmed, even if it puts him "at risk," a YouGov poll for The Sun found. PM Gordon Brown rejected pleas from James' parents Ralph Bulger and Denise Fergus to reveal why the killer is behind bars. Last night Justice Secretary Jack Straw agreed to meet Denise. We told yesterday how Venables' cover has been blown in jail. Earlier inaccurate reports suggested Venables had been recalled to prison over a punch-up with a workmate and taking drugs. But The Sun understood that only an allegation of an extremely serious crime could have resulted in his being banged up again.[/quote] I don't like using The Sun but they broke the story, and it's all over the news now. [b]tl;dr:[/b] Back in 1993 Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, aged 10, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Bulger]kidnapped, tortured, and murdered a two-year-old boy[/url], James Bulger. The story was huge because the murderers were just 10 and acted alone. They were both imprisoned until June 2001 when they were released under new identities. Now Jon Venables, aged 27, stands accused of an undisclosed "serious sex crime" and is facing prison again. A CCTV image of James Bulger being led away by Venables and Thompson came to identify the incident. [img]http://imgkk.com/i/lQH.jpg[/img]
The Sun :downs:
Those two psychopaths shouldn't have left the prison to begin with.
They're fucking messed up, that's for sure.

I wonder why they don't want to say what he's done though.
I bet it isn't more 'horrifying' than raping and killing a two year old.
[QUOTE=Devils Buddy;20594492]I bet it isn't more 'horrifying' than raping and killing a two year old.[/QUOTE] There was no rape involved :raise: What did you do last night
[QUOTE=the_shape;20593786]I wonder why they don't want to say what he's done though.[/QUOTE] It means they haven't pinned a specific charge on him (They are going to, but until they get a signed charge, he technically isn't) . He's probably being held for breaching whatever rules they had him living under. When they formally charge him, it will be public knowledge.
[QUOTE=Luxo;20593656]The Sun :downs:[/QUOTE] The Sun can be horribly opinionated but it's illegal to make things up, and they don't want to get sued.
[QUOTE=Splurgy;20594895]The Sun can be horribly opinionated but it's illegal to make things up, and they don't want to get sued.[/QUOTE] I'm not saying that they make stuff up, they just put crazy ass spins on everything they cover.
Overhyped.
[QUOTE=smurfy;20594568]There was no rape involved :raise: What did you do last night[/QUOTE] They performed sexual acts on the kids.
[QUOTE=Devils Buddy;20618545]They performed sexual acts on the kids.[/QUOTE] On what kids? They kidnapped and killed James Bulger, they didn't rape him or anything. I'm thinking that you're thinking of those two chavs that lured two boys into the woods or something and almost killed them a few months ago. The James Bulger case is old, it's from the early 90s.
[QUOTE=the_shape;20593786]I wonder why they don't want to say what he's done though.[/QUOTE] Cause members of the jury can find out who they really are, and it wil make a biased case. It's something that no one is happy with, but for the trial to be fair it has to be done.
[QUOTE=Devils Buddy;20618545]They performed sexual acts on the kids.[/QUOTE] They were 10, they were probably unable to. They certainly didn't, they only beat and killed the poor baby :frown:
Shit, I was mighty confused. I thought they meant James Bulger as in Whitey Bulger, as in the still-at-large mobster who was the inspiration for Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed. The hell could drive someone to torture and kill at 10, let alone commit a sex crime before they could probably even get it up.
It's absolutely disgusting what they did to him, and at that age too.

Weird guy, terrible things he did, terrible.
