They said:
If Whiting had been stabbed in the street he might have died. Because he was in prison, every alarm was developed and he was hastened to hospital within minutes.

After the widely publicised court case, it was revealed that Whiting was already a convicted child sex offender.
This led to Sarah’s family campaigning for the government to allow controlled access to the sexuality offender registry.
