  1. >A man who was arrested on suspicion of committing 21 child sex offences has been charged with a further 79 crimes, including rape and blackmail.

The 20-year-old was accused of rape, six counts of causing or inciting sexual activity with a child, nine counts of sexual communication with a child, distributing an indecent image of a child, sexual activity with a child and three counts of being in possession of indecent images of a child.

    I’m not going to comment on this one

  2. What stands out in this horrific story is that the alleged perpetrator is only 20 years old and it appears the bulk of the offences happened within a year. It boggles the mind as to how someone could commit so many offences so quickly at that age.

    The street listed is in a perfectly middle class neighbourhood that is ironically within shouting distance of HMP Altcourse.

    If found guilty, this person will be spending a very, very long time in prison.
