Introduction
In 2021, a shocking case of necrophilia came to light in the United Kingdom, involving ‘Necro Lord’ David Fuller. This led to the proposal of a new law to address such heinous crimes.
New Law Implementation
Under the proposed law, criminals who engage in sexual activities with dead bodies will face a prison sentence of seven years. The legislation aims to punish perpetrators like David Fuller and prevent such atrocities in the future.
Key Changes
- The new law will introduce the offense of “sexual activity with a corpse,” with a maximum prison term of five years for non-penetrative crimes.
- The amendment will increase the current sentence for penetrating corpses from two to seven years.
Government Response
Justice Minister Laura Farris highlighted the need for these changes, emphasizing the gravity of Fuller’s crimes and the importance of ensuring justice for the victims and their families.
Background on David Fuller
David Fuller, a maintenance worker, committed appalling acts of necrophilia over a span of 15 years, involving the bodies of 101 women and girls. His actions, including recording the crimes and committing murders, shocked the nation.
Victims’ Impact
More than 100 victims of David Fuller suffered unimaginable violations, and their families continue to grapple with the devastating aftermath of his actions. The proposed law seeks to acknowledge the severity of these offenses and provide a more robust legal framework to address such cases in the future.
