Child rapist, puppy farmer and racist Pontins dad all spared jail These are the criminals who were shown mercy after appearing in the courts Left to right; Alistair Frederick, Chloe Robinson and Ricky Brettle A child rapist, a puppy farmer and a racist who spouted vile abuse at Pontins have been spared jail this month.
