Could this be an indication of change? Or am I unaware of the full story?

I found this released in the news recently - and im for one shocked that they did the right thing and remanded him in custody (reducing the risk of him hanging himself therefore), and after less than a week.....they have charged him !!! This is almost unheard of in the UK let alone in the South Atlantic, where it can take more than a year and sometimes two to even attempt to charge someone and all the while...the person is on bail able to carry out more offences. Im not sure if this was a sexual attack though...it doesnt say; but it DOES go to show what can be done and should be done. And another thing.....it clearly made the news. Its out there for all to see. This too is very rare.....
