Several UK-based news sources have reported on the fate of 22-year-old James Sorby, who was nearly electrocuted by 22,000 volts of electricity while trying to steal copper cable from an electrical substation.
One of those sources, The Daily Mail, ran a story that includes graphic photos of Sorby shortly after his ill-fated theft attempt. The story also includes an image of Sorby's scarred hands. You can see the story here, but please be aware that you may find the images disturbing.
In remorseful comments, Sorby told legal magistrates, "My message is, 'Don't do it.' Before I did this, it was just an idea and there was no danger to it. Everyone thinks it's so easy and they have no idea how stupid they're being. When you think of getting involved in something like this, you don't think of the danger."
Sorby's plight was in the news because he was due to be sentenced for his crime. The Yorkshire Evening Post reports his sentence was a 12-month supervision order.
