Risotto king Simon Humble jailed over child-sex offences

Or, as I would have written it, “Well-known Melbourne chef Simon Humble has been convicted of child sex offences, and only has himself to blame for his impending jail term of seven years.”

“Forced to”? Oh please.

Then again, I may be reading this incorrectly. Perhaps “forced to” means “hooray, he’s being justly dealt with!”
