1. Two men who sexually assaulted a teenage girl for more than a month have been jailed for their depraved crimes.

   As well as being sexually assaulted numerous times, the 14-year-old victim was subjected to a horrific assault when one of the men burnt her with a cigarette.

   James Palmer and Thomas Bates were jailed at Preston Crown Court on Friday (March 7).

   Bates, 21, of Scale Hall Lane, Lancaster, pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexual activity with a child including penetration and also causing a child to watch a sexual act when he showed her pornography.

   He was jailed for eight years.

   Palmer, 26, of Torrisholme Square, Morecambe, pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child including penetration and assault.

   He was jailed for three years.

   Both men were given sexual harm prevention orders and lifetime restraining orders.

   “I welcome the sentences given by the court and I hope that it gives others who may have suffered similar abuse the confidence to come forward and report it to police, safe in the knowledge they will be dealt with professionally and with sensitively and that we will do all we can to put offenders before the courts.”

2. Parents need to stop shoving smartphones into their kids faces and try teaching their boys how to behave around women and girls.

   WTF has happened to the men in this country?! If it’s not yours, you don’t touch.

4. Three years!?!?
