  1. Absolutely grim. Hope the kids get the support and care they deserve after such a nightmare

  2. >Iain Owens, 46; Elaine Lannery, 40; Lesley Williams, 43; Paul Brannan, 42; Scott Forbes, 51; Barry Watson, 48, and John Clark, 49, were jailed for between eight and 20 years and handed orders for lifelong restriction (OLRs).

    >These orders are reserved for the most serious court cases in Scotland which do not involve murder, and mean the individual will either be in prison or on parole for the rest of their life.

    ..

    > Owens was jailed for at least 20 years before he can apply for parole, Lannery for 17 years, Brannan for 15 years and Williams for 14 years.
    >
    > Clark was sentenced to at least 10 years, Watson to nine years and six months, and Forbes to eight years.
    >
    > Another woman, 40-year-old Marianne Gallagher, was convicted of one count of assault to injury but was cleared of all other charges.
    >
    > Her sentencing was initially deferred for 12 months for good behaviour and returned to court on 6 January this year. She was spared further punishment and admonished by Lord Beckett after he heard Gallagher had not offended over the last year.

    And all of this will be in the segregation unit – hopefully not with each other.

  3. There’s not a NSFL flair, so be aware if you chose to read up on what they did

    The grade of offending is reflected in the sentences, which should tell you enough

  4. Someone was on here a few months back making a case that this whole thing was a false “satanic panic” style prosecution.  

  5. Bring back capital punishment. Nothing of value would be lost with the main culprits gone.

  6. ‘Charges related to causing the children to take part in seances and witchcraft were dropped during the trial.’

    theres are laws about witchcraft?

  7. Im sure Reform and Kemi will be all over this. Not.

  8. One of the weirdest, depraved things I’ve ever seen in my life so far.

    Junkies who also had a mutual interest in organised Satanism involving children.

    It just makes it sink in the extent of what an absolute toilet of a world we live in, how common it is to be within range of absolute monsters & deviants who don’t operate on the same wavelength as us

    Heart breaks thinking this is a reality, not just a news story for those poor victims & their loved ones – puts into perspective how fortunate I have been in life.

  9. But the sick and twisted, disgusting vile scum are white, Scottish and from a Christian country. What will Kemi, Tommy 10 names, Musk and Farage say now?!

  10. Unfortunately, despite the title, they were not given life sentences, certainly not as most people would understand the term.

  11. What they did was monsterus I hope the young children are getting all the support and help they need
