Robert Thompson, one of the two boys convicted for the murder of toddler James Bulger in 1993, was released from prison in 2001 under a new identity and has since led a law-abiding life. Unlike his accomplice Jon Venables, who has been in and out of prison for offenses including possession of child abuse images, Thompson has not reoffended and has kept a low profile. He reportedly lives in a stable long-term relationship with a man and has not attracted public or legal attention since his release. His life after release has been described as quiet and ordinary, and he has expressed remorse for his actions in statements made to the parole board
