John Cronin (convict)
John Cronin (born July 18, 1971) is a repeat-offence Scottish convict who is considered by British law enforcement authorities to be the UK's first convicted felon to be tracked by satellite. Most recently imprisoned for running up a 140,000 kronor (US$20,500) bill in one of Sweden's top restaurants and then refusing to pay, Cronin is infamous for a string of sex offences against women, most notably against "Judy X", a Tory Party worker, in May 1992.
Cronin is also the centre of current debate in Scotland over the reporting and handling of sex offenders and how they are dealt with once out of prison.

Famous quotes containing the word john:
“Oh for some honest lover’s ghost,
Some kind unbodied post
Sent from the shades below!
I strangely long to know
Whether the nobler chaplets wear
Those that their mistress’ scorn did bear,
Or those that were used kindly.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
