Jon Venables to stay in prison after asking Parole Board to keep him locked up

Jon Venables submitted an opening statement asking the Parole Board panel not to release him.

Panel members found Venables still requires intensive prison work to address his sexual interests.

Venables has been recalled to prison twice since his initial 2001 release for possessing child sexual abuse images.

A victim personal statement from James Bulger's family detailed the ongoing impact of the 1993 murder.
