A convicted paedophile who raped a 12-year-old girl has been taken on as one of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's apprentices. David Mason, 24, was sentenced to four years in a young offenders' institute and was put on the Sex Offenders' Register indefinitely. He has been given the job at London restaurant, Fifteen, which aims to help disadvantaged young people. So is Jamie Oliver doing anything wrong by giving him a job? Or because of his past should he continue to be punished? Stephen gets the views of commentator Kate Smurthwaite and Luke Gittos who is a solicitor and Legal Editor for Spiked Online
