Father who forced son to have sex with prostitutes gets 8 year jail sentence

Jul 2 2021

A 65-year-old father’s 8-year prison sentence has been confirmed by the Court of Appeal after he was found guilty of forcing his 7-year-old son to engage in sexual activities with prostitutes in order not to ‘become’ gay. The man from Siggiewi’s sentence was given in February and has been since then confirmed, with the man having been arraigned for the first time five years ago after the prostitutes reported the case to Agenzija Appogg.

One of the women reports how the father urged her to have oral sex with the 7-year-old, leading to her fainting and wanting to commit suicide. The man was also reported to yell and beat his son if he did not get an erection whilst also threatening to send him to a children’s home should he tell anyone. The boy was also reported to have been called slurs, possessing pornography on his tablet and confirmed to be in need of lots of therapeutical assistance.

12 days into the heatwave and its still scorching

Jul 2 2021

Malta is currently registering the longest heatwave ever recorded in 100 years. This is the 12th day Malta has spent in the scorching heat but thankfully, the maximum temperature has gone down to 37°C on Thursday and is 5°C less than Wednesday.

The sky is set to clear today, acquiring the light blue hue we all love. Temperatures are also set to start going down slightly, despite there being no end in sight for the heatwave.

What is sure is that such weather invites beachgoers to cool off from the heat and sweat. Health authorities strongly advise staying protected and avoiding the sun at its worst hours and by staying hydrated.

Miriam Pace’s widower not seeking vendetta despite lenient court sentence

Jul 2 2021

Carmel Pace described the sentence issued by court to give ‘just’ 880 hours of community service to the two guilty architects as lenient. However, Pace pointed out that his family was not seeking any form of vendetta for the loss of his wife who was killed in the building collapse. Pace still expected the architects to be given a tougher community sentence after being contacted following the magistrate’s sentence.

Carmel Pace stated that all he can say is ‘there’s no justice in this world, there’s only justice when we move on to the next world. Nothing can bring Miriam back and this is a scar [his] two children and [he] have to carry all [their] lives.’

Commenting on the sentence issued, Joe Giglio stated that in reference to the court issued sentence, the Pace family was never out for vengeance. He emphasised how, when asked as to what sentence should be given, the family never suggested a jail sentence. He pointed out how proud he was to have been working on the team.
