Jon Venables, now 27, pleaded guilty to three charges in relation to child pornography at the Old Bailey court in London, appearing by video link from jail where he has been held since being recalled in February. Venables and Robert Thompson were given life sentences for the brutal murder of toddler James Bulger in 1993, but the pair were released on licence in 2001 and given secret new identities for their own safety. The sadistic torture and murder of Bulger caused horror across Britain and fears about attacks on the two killers continue. Only the judge hearing the case Friday was able to see Venables give his video evidence. He was sentenced to two years in jail, but the judge said he would not automatically be released after serving his time and it would be up to a parole board to decide. Bulger's mother Denise Fergus, in court to hear the verdict, rejected this as insufficient and demanded to know why Venables had not been recalled to prison two years ago when he was arrested in a drunken street fight. "Justice has not been done. These were very serious offences and two years is simply not enough to meet the gravity of what this person did," her spokesman Chris Johnson told reporters outside court. "We're surprised and concerned that he was not recalled under the terms of his parole licence when he committed an offence in 2008," he added, and called for a "full investigation" into the handling of the case. Venables admitted downloading 57 pornographic pictures of children on to his computer between February 2009 and February 2010, distributing indecent photos of children in February this year and distributing 42 images in February 2008. His lawyer, John Gibson, said afterwards that he accepted his sentence and was "genuinely ashamed" about what he had done. He also addressed the murder 17 years ago, when Venables and Thompson snatched Bulger from a shopping centre in Liverpool, northwest England. They took the toddler to a nearby train track where they beat him with bricks and an iron bar and left him for dead. "He has said that every day since what took place in 1993 he has thought about how different life might have been for all those affected, who he appreciates have also had their own reasons for reflection," the lawyer said. He said Venables felt returning to prison was "something of a relief" but was determined to change so that next time, he would never be sent back. The killers' new identities protected them from the public glare until earlier this year, when police began investigating Venables. The pictures were found on his computer by accident, after Venables alerted the authorities after fearing that his new identity had been compromised, the court heard. He called a probation officer and was told to gather his belongings, and when the officer arrived he was trying to delete files from his computer. A police examination found images on the computer involving children as young as two. There were also videos featuring young girls being raped and forced to perform oral sex. In a statement to police in March, Venables admitted he became sexually aroused by looking at such images and said it was "breaking the last taboo". Speaking in court, Venables' lawyer Edward Fitzgerald blamed in part the "wholly abnormal situation" of living under an assumed name amid "constant fear of reprisals". His "isolation" had led Venables into a "downward spiral of drink and drugs" and he had become addicted to cocaine and mephedrone, Fitzgerald said.
