San Antonio Escorts: Online bid to punish pimp
March 31, 2010Ald Soward called for a 15-year sentence for Glenorchy man Gary John Devine, who pleaded guilty to pimping the girl at his home
Devine, 51, received a 10-year sentence with an eight-year non-parole period last week.
But he has lodged an appeal against the sentence, claiming it to be manifestly excessive.
Ald Soward said he had started the Facebook group to lobby for tougher sentences.
Asked about what Devine should have received he said: “I don’t know, my own personal opinion is that 15 to 20 years would have been more appropriate”.
Ald Soward said the site had gained 12,500 members since being set up on Friday night.

He acted as the girl’s pimp, charging $100 for half an hour and an extra $50 if the client did not want to wear a condom.
