When Judge Turpin desired Lucy (Todd's wife), he had Todd (who was then Benjamin Barker) shipped off to Australia to do hard labor. The exact charges are never specified, though it can be inferred that Turpin simply wrote it off as a simple charge such as thievery or assault, when Barker never committed a crime (so far as we know).
Judge Turpin wanted Sweeney Todd's wife, Lucy. So, he had Sweeney (who was at the time going by his real name, Benjamin Barker) convicted on false charges, and exiled to Australia.

The story of Sweeney Todd started out as a periodical in the Penny Dreadfuls under the name of "A String of Pearls". Soon after this, various stage versions emerged and over time it became a popular urban legend that has been adapted into many musical stage productions, books, and films. The most well known storyline of Sweeney Todd comes from Stephen Sondheim's popular musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which was started in 1979. The story of Sweeney was made even more popular by a more recent film version of Sweeney in 2007, directed by Tim Burton, with Johnny Depp as title role.
James Sweeney - film editor - died in 1957.
Here are all the characters in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: The names in the parenthesis are their real names. They were not the people playing them in the stage show, just in Tim Burton's film. Benjamin Barker/Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp) Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) Beadle Bamford (Timothy Spall) Davey Collins/Signor Adolfo Pirelli (Sacha Baron Cohen) Lucy Barker/Beggar Woman (Laura Michelle Kelly) Johanna Barker (Jayne Wisener) Anthony Hope (Jamie Campbell Bower)Tobias "Toby" Ragg (Edward "Ed" Sanders)
In the Stephen Sondheim version (which Tim Burton did a film adaptation of, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter) Sweeney hurls her into the oven, shuts the door, and lets her burn to death.
He is Judge Turpin(the bad guy) in the film Sweeney Todd.
Jamie Campbell Bower sang the first line in the film Sweeney Todd.
Benjamin Barker was his name in the film and stage shows, and then he came back after 15 years, and renamed himself Sweeney Todd, so nobody would recognize him. If you are talking about the "real Sweeney Todd, they said it was similar to Sweeney Todd, but no one really knows.
No because the film isn't suitable for children to have merchandise from it
no, it's only a film.
It took three months to film Sweeney Todd (which, I admit, is my favorite movies of all time). If you want proof (and more information) you can look at this website: http://www.watchthetitles.com/articles/0091-Sweeney_Todd_The_Demon_Barber_of_Fleet_Street
