LONDON (Reuters) - The government goes to the Appeal Court on Wednesday in an attempt to have the sentence of a man who raped a 12-week-old baby increased.

Alan Webster, 40, committed the offence with the help of his girlfriend, who was babysitting for the little girl.

He was jailed for life with a minimum six-year tariff after admitting four charges of rape and five of indecent assault against the baby and of possession of child abuse images in January.

Webster's 19-year-old girlfriend, Tanya French, was jailed for five years with an extended licence period of five years.

The appeal has been launched at the behest of the government's top legal adviser, Attorney General Lord Goldsmith.

The Appeal Court judges will be asked to consider whether the judge in the original trial gave too much weight to the fact that both defendants had pleaded guilty. Under current sentencing guidelines defendants can expect shorter sentences for admitting guilt.

The offences committed by Webster and French occurred in early 2004 when the baby's mother, who was single, needed child care because she was decorating a new home.

In sentencing French, the judge said her offences had been aggravated by the breach of trust placed in her by the baby's mother.

The crimes were discovered after police acted on intelligence that Webster had been downloading indecent images from the Internet.

When officers raided Webster's house in Hatfield, 20 miles north of London, they found a photograph album containing images showing Webster and French committing acts of abuse on the baby.

Webster also admitted indecently assaulting a 14-year-old girl, who had been a friend of French.

Can you believe this is going on in OUR world?? i've never come across such act of evilness before

before locking 'em up...cut off ze balls first

the one thing you can take pleasure in is that child molesters are definately at the BOTTOM of the pecking order in jail, and i'm sure he'll have a REALLY FUN TIME in the big house

Its not like the baby is going to remember this

But this is a British jail we're talking about.

Yes but jails in england are like jails here (i think) sky tv in each room, ensuite bathroom, child molesters are kept in seperate jails away from other inmates, which is soooooooo unfair they should be put in with the lions and ripped apart
imagine all those sick perverted bastards locked up together

these fuckers have no right to exist on the same planet as the rest of us, there should be a room were these sort of bastards should be left to starve to death, then they can never hurt anyone and they cost the tax payer fuck all!!!

urban myth ..... because society believes incarceration is not bad enough for certain crimes.
What is true is that the guards turn a blind eye to your safety . Ask Jeff dahmer. Dahmer for some reason was put on the clean-up crew. Jeff Dahmer as a prison trustee? What was crazier he was teamed up with a super psycho nut who also should not have been on the clean-up crew... Well that dude killed dahmer ..by sodomizing him to death with a broken mop handle.
The guards were shocked !! Shocked I tell ya!!
But that's what you get for killing Children & Black Children.
double whammy

Your non English avatar is confusing me. It must have something to do with the internet. It could also have something to do with the international Jewish conspiracy, and at this point in time both theories look probable.

exactly, in mates will be waiting for him, piece of shit, what the fuck is wrong with some people.
