An offender already jailed for 19 years for a previous offence was named and received another term of 22 years in a different court for further child sexual abuse and grooming charges in Oldham, England.
Sadly the sentences are concurrent, but the offender will be 81 when released, so that’s close enough to life to be a meaningful sentence. The BBC has the story here.

Just before George Entwhistle’s resignation, The Daily Mail rounded up everything to date to last Friday 9th November including the full statement of denial from the wrongly identified ex-politician. That article is here and scroll to the bottom of the page for the full statement and retrospective video to last Friday night.
Choosing to tell your story for the first time or to a more public audience is not a decision you want to take lightly. Many of us who have done it and are “public” about our past or current issues can tell you that while there are great things that can come from sharing, there are also things you should be prepared for.
I’ll be the first to admit that I was not prepared for things. As much as I have never regretted starting this site and sharing my story, there have been times when it’s been a bit awkward. Times I did not think enough about ahead of time and might have handled differently if I had thought more about it.
So, with that in mind, let me share this resource from the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:
This is true for trafficking, and it’s true for child sexual abuse, and it’s true for a variety of other ways in which people might try to take advantage of someone. People with poor mental health, poor connections to other people, and living in chaotic situations are more vulnerable. The best tool to prevent these things is to work on having fewer vulnerable people.
Mental health resources could go a long way.
