Man gets caught trying to import eleven thousand fake tablets into Latvia

After two weeks of complex operations by the National Latvian Police they unfortunately failed in arresting a man who imported eleven thousand fake Viagra & Cialis tablets from London into the Latvia.

However the 22 year old had realised the police were chasing him and dumped his stash. He has now been detained for trying to import the counterfeit tablets from London which he had planned to sell without a prescription which is illegal.


There are numerous amounts of illegal pharmacy style websites online selling counterfeit Viagra and Cialis, which are sold without a prescription in pubs and clubs throughout Europe for around five Euros per tablet.

It is now on a case by case criminal proceeding, and the 22 year old man is being threatened with imprisonment for up to two years including forced labour or a fine of up to 150 minimum months worth of salary.

For anyone trying to buy prescription medication such as Viagra and Cialis online always make sure the company is a registered pharmacy and displays their pharmacy logo and number on their website.

Man jailed for 14 months for giving girlfriend genital herpes

David Gold 29 who works for the Highways Agency has admitted causing grievous bodily harm by giving the sexually transmitted infection (STI) to his then partner, Cara Lee, 23.

But sexual health experts and charities have called the decision to imprison him ‘outrageous’. It is the first time anyone has been convicted for passing on a STI.

Mr Golding had kept his infection a secret from Ms Lee when the couple were together in 2009, and later denied it when confronted by his partner, Northampton crown court heard. After finding out she had been infected with Herpes, Ms Lee moved out and reported him to police in March 2010.

Judge Michael Fowler told Golding, from Daventry: ‘Because it was in a relationship, it was particularly mean and one which amounted to a betrayal – a betrayal in a relationship in which you professed love.

‘The injury you caused by this infection is at least or more serious than an injury leaving a scar because it carries continued recurrence, extreme discomfort and consequences for relationships she will have in the future.’

David Everett, defending, said his client was ‘extremely stupid but he did not do this in a premeditated way.’
Sexual health experts said herpes was not serious enough to amount to grievous bodily harm under the Offences Against the Person Act.

‘Being sent to prison for 14 months for passing on herpes simplex is like being sent down for ten years for a parking offence,’ said Dr Colm O’Mahoney, sexual health consultant at the Countess of Chester Hospital. 
‘This is outrageous. Will children now be prosecuted for “giving” their friends chickenpox? ‘Most people who have genital herpes don’t know it because, even if they do get recurrences, it is such a trivial genital infection that they don’t notice it.’

He said genital herpes has the same implications as a facial cold sore. In Britain, about 6million people have genital herpes and up to 40million may have picked up herpes simplex (a cold sore) on the face.

However if Mr Golding had acted earlier admitted the problem and sought out treatment for his genital herpes such as Valtrex, his jail sentence could have been avoided.

Man blames Viagra & wife's menopause for filming women in changing room

Neil Smith 57, who was caught filming women at Hillsborough leisure centre in Sheffield on August 11th, blames his behavior on his wife menopause and Viagra.

Smith who managed to escape jail was spotted pointing the digital video camera into the cubicle, twisting and turning the device to get a better view of his shocked victim.

Police uncovered a peeping Tom's tool kit, including a jacket down the sleeve of which they recovered a 30cm plastic ruler attached with elastic bands to a video recorder. They also discovered a plastic bag containing batteries, a partly used bottle of lubricant, a vibrating male masturbating device, a used swimming costume, a mirror and a camera case. Police also found a clip of the woman and child in a camera memory card hidden inside a sock, as well as covert footage showing other females getting changed.

Smith, who admitted voyeurism, was given a three-year community order with supervision, and also ordered to attend a sex offender programme, and given a sex offender probation order.

Judge Simon Lawler QC said he was torn between jailing Smith as punishment for his crime and giving him a community order, which would allow him to be rehabilitated and protect the public.

"You decided to take these cameras to prey on women. I have to try and prevent re-offending by you and protect the public in the long term," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

Pharmacist avoids jail for illegally advertising prescription-only Viagra

A Pharmacist from Manchester, who advertised Viagra illegally, has luckily avoided an immediate jail sentence.

Mr William Parsons advertised Viagra and other prescription medication used to treat male impotence on his website Potency.co.uk which has now been removed from the web.

Parsons, who also ran a pharmacy in the Peak District, was given a suspended nine-month jail term at London's Southwark Crown Court on Thursday after previously being convicted of three counts of advertising prescription-only medicine.

Passing sentence, Judge Peter Testar said: "This defendant has behaved in a way that he knows was illegal. That's the mischief of what he has done. He sought to defend the indefensible."

The court heard Parsons ran the website and the Hayfield Pharmacy in Derbyshire from 1999 until he sold the combined businesses and premises for just under £500,000 in 2007.

Parsons used blank prescriptions obtained from a doctor in Cyprus to prescribe the drugs himself to customers visiting the website. The site boasted "special offers" on the drugs. Kennedy Talbot, prosecuting, estimated Parsons made more than £1,000 a month from sales.

An inspector from regulatory body the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) visited the pharmacy in 2006 where the blank prescriptions were discovered. The inspector subsequently visited the website where he discovered the illegal offers.

Parsons was warned by the MHRA he would have to change his website in order to comply with the law, but the pharmacist refused.

Judge Testar said: "He carried on with the plainly illegal activity of advertising prescription only drugs. He simply decided he wasn't going to comply with the law. He thought if he carried on he wouldn't be stopped. These are regulations that are there for the protection of the public. The requirement of a prescription is there for a good reason."

The Judge said he had intended to pass an immediate custodial sentence but had decided not to as Parsons was the main provider of care for his sick wife. The nine-month sentence was suspended for two years. Parsons was also ordered to carry out 150 hours unpaid work in the community.
