MARY-ROSE Burnett had a horrifying shock -- her husband had been downloading 
sickening child porn.
Brick-throwing vigilantes targeted her Bournemouth house after she let him 
stay.
He escaped a jail sentence but his terrified 60-year-old wife contacted the 
Daily Echo to make sure people know he is not coming back.
She had planned to let David, 49, stay until the court case finished - but 
people mistakenly thought she was sticking by him.
"It's probably stupid. I thought I could keep an eye on him to make sure it 
never went beyond anything on computers," said Mary-Rose.
Three bricks were thrown through windows, including two simultaneously at 
2am. One left a hole in a wall after travelling 15-20ft across the living 
room.
"It took us about two hours to clear up all the glass," said Mary Rose, from 
Colville Road, Pokesdown.
Her husband was given a 26-week suspended jail sentence last week after 
admitting 17 counts of possessing indecent images of girls. Two film clips 
were of the worst grade.
Burnett's solicitor suggested in court his wife would take him back, but 
Mary-Rose said: "He knows I won't. He doesn't realise just how much damage 
he has done."
She added: "We meet once or twice a week for coffee. That's nobody's 
business. It's more like a brotherly feeling now. You can't erase 25 years. 
But he is not coming back to my house."
Mary-Rose knew he had nowhere to go as he awaited the court case.
While he still lived there, people spat in the gutter as she walked past.
"Nonces" was written on the side of the house in white letters just over a 
foot high, and Mary-Rose had phone calls and text messages saying "You'd 
better not come anywhere near us." She said: "It was terrifying. You can't 
describe it any other way. You can't sleep because you think a brick will 
come though the window at any minute.
"I thought 'I have done nothing wrong'. But they saw me as taking his side 
and it was never like that. If anything I was trying to protect them from 
him."
She said: "I wouldn't have done the same because that's not in my nature, 
but I can understand how they felt. It's a family estate.
"But they should try talking to people face to face to find out the real 
truth."
Her husband's guilty plea and the campaign of intimidation made her throw 
him out, and he is now living elsewhere.
Mary Rose said: "A short sharp shock in prison would have done him good. But 
the other part of me thinks 'I know what they do paedophiles in prison'. The 
neighbours feel he got away with it."
He was caught when her son from a previous relationship found some of the 
images on the computer. "He showed me two images that frightened the life 
out of me. One of the girls looked so terrified."
Her son told the police. Mary-Rose, originally from Broadstairs in Kent, 
said she would have done the same.
She said when they met, former soldier Burnett, originally from Bideford in 
Devon, had actually rescued her form an abusive relationship.
"That hurts more than anything," she said.
After the images were found, he kept telling her he stilled loved her.
Mary Rose said: "I said 'But you are not the same person'. I actually said 
to him 'I don't think I actually know you'."
She said that during the marriage "sometimes he would speak to me as if I 
was something crawling across the floor.
"And the next thing he would buy me a bunch of flowers and a box of 
chocolates. There were times when he could be very generous. He took me to 
Venice for three days when a friend died although he couldn't afford it."
Mary-Rose said the child porn revelations mean she is relieved they never 
had children together.
But she said doesn't see the 25 years as wasted because 'we actually had 
some quite good times as well as some ropy ones".
She said: "I would just like to carry on as I am, all on my own in this 
little house, and hope somewhere along the line people will stop looking at 
me as if I dropped in from outer space, because I am not guilty of 
anything - apart from stupidity, maybe."

A 'wife’s worst nightmare' is her hubby looking at 'dirty' pictures.

This is where we are.

Your summary, which so adequately demonstrates your inability to comprehend

Why is that?

Because she has found out that she 'did not really know her husband'.

She just increased her knowledge of human relationships, many-fold.

However, that is not really the point ... the point is ... is that
really the worse nightmare she can think of?

Is it yours?

(Actually, she does have some sense, as they still see each other ...
she will come around).

'But you are not the same person'

He is exactly the same person, it is her who has changed.

I think that you will find the wife's worst nightmare was finding out
she was married to a pervert.

Her worst nightmare would probably be dreaming that she was one of the
children who was abused in making the porn her pervert husband
possessed.

Well, yes, she is open to the same myths as anyone else.

Of course, rationality should tell her that her misbelief is
irrelevant with actual people.

No, her worst nightmare isn't her husband looking at dirty pictures. Nor the 
fact that he has acquired a taste for child porn.  Her worst nightmare is, 
understandably, the wave of hostility and violence from the local community. 
The bricks through the window, the hateful slogans written on her wall, 
people spitting at her as they pass.  Not very dissimilar to being a jew in 
Nazi Germany.  She is of course the innocent party but I'd consider it 
equally bad if he had been the only victim of this vigilantism.

Inevitably her only escape from this is to abandon her husband and her 
marriage in a very humiliating and public way.

And frankly, I think what these vigilante thugs do is *far* worse than 
downloading images of child porn. More harmful to the community.

Perhaps you think his interest only began on the very day he got caught

 I think that's nothing more than the gloss *you* would like yo put on it!

That sounds like normal married life to me. She would have been the
same way to him afterwards, once she'd calmed down, except she would
give sex instead of chocolate.

So explain.  ISTM that the man rescued her from an abusive
relationship, was loving and attentive toward her most of the time,
made personal sacrifices for her, and there was no suspicion of him
abusing children or behaving inappropriately during the 25 years they
spent together.

But because he looked at a particular type of photograph, those 25
years count for nothing, and he has been thrown out of their home,
which she has apparently decided now belongs exclusively to her.  She
appears to have little if any concern for his welfare or future, but
is instead concerned only about her own wellbeing.

I wonder if she would have turned on him in the same way had he killed
someone in a fit of anger during a pub brawl or similar?

Or is the idea that in addition to being attracted to her, he might
also be sexually attracted to underage girls (even though he never
touched a child as far as we know) so much worse?

So explain why she would say that he had rescued her from an abusive
relationship if he had not?

That sort of thing happens occasionally in most relationships, and the
journalist would quote the *worst* she had to say about him.  Look at
what she did *not* say.  She did not claim that she was abused or
assaulted.  Instead she describes him as "generous."

I said nothing of the sort.  There is a huge difference between
"having an interest" and abusing a child.  As far as we are aware, he
has never abused any children.

Eh? Who said he had not - I certainly didn't say that, neirher did I 
insinuate it. In fact if you actually read what I said you will see I 
pointed out that it is actually what she was said in the report.

Did the journalist not report her as saying that 'he' had rescued her from 
an abusive relationshup then?
 Do you think that's also an example of the journalist quoting the "worst" 
she had to say about him?

Eh? You  just said "the journalist would quote the *worst* she had to say 
about him.", why are you contradicting yourself?

I stated that it seems to me that he had rescued her from an abusive
relationship.  You replied that there is no reason why I might surmise
that.  Read the quotes above for yourself.

I stated that the journalist would select the worst she had to say
about him.  I did not say that that would be the *only* thing the
journalist would quote - just that the worst she had to say would be
amongst the quotes selected for the article.

Correct! The reason being that it's *actually stated* in the report -but 
then I also said that above.

 Read the quotes above for yourself.

I strongly recommend you read it again. You *may* eventually understand what 
I said, but based on your response so far I won't hold my breath.

So if it is actually stated in the report, surely that is an excellent
reason to surmise that it may actually be true?  Obviously you didn't
think so.

Only if you're suggesting the evidence is incomplete or there's room for 
speculation.

> Obviously you didn't think so.

On the contrary, from the very outset I accepted it at face value. You're 
the only one speculating on it.

 I suggest you look up some definitions of the word 'surmise' - perhaps you 
might then stop arguing against yourself.

Her worst nightmare may be yet to come. You couldn't possibly know what

Would it not make more sense to go after the people making and
profiting from the photos than just going for the easy catch of people
who wank over them?

Todal & Edster...right on the money. The vigilante thugs are cowardly
bastards & possibly "pointing the diversionary finger" at the same
time. The photo makers/producers are more elusive than the wankers so,
as you say, it's easier for plod to nab.
