Politicians can't influence the Isle of Man Courts in sentencing paedophiles.
That's the message from Chief Minister Allan Bell in response to a petition calling for him to take action on ensuring that the law reflects victims' suffering.
Special needs nursery nurse Lisa Taylor is spearheading the campaign - which has garnered support from over 750 signatories.
Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson has joined a number of Ministers and MHKs in pledging their support.
Mr Bell says politicians won't be making the final call:
