🚨 WOMAN, 64, JAILED FOR NINE YEARS AFTER GROOMING AND SEXUALLY ABUSING A BOY Tracy Bancroft, 64, of Filey, North Yorkshire, has been jailed for nine years and four months after admitting offences against a teenage boy she groomed and repeatedly sexually abused. York Crown Court heard Bancroft gave the boy a strong mixture of rum and juice before the first incident. He had little sexual knowledge, did not fully understand what was happening and froze in shock. Judge Simon Hickey said the abuse involved clear grooming and planning. The devastating impact on the victim has continued for years. His mother told the court she had repeatedly intervened to stop him taking his own life, describing the damage to his education, employment prospects and wellbeing. He kept the abuse secret for years before beginning to disclose it following a suicide attempt. A further year passed before he felt able to give police a statement. Bancroft showed no remorse, his mother told the court. She has also received a 15-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, a lifetime requirement to remain on the sex offenders’ register and a lifetime ban on working with children or vulnerable adults. The order prohibits her from contacting the victim, posting about him on social media or having unsupervised contact with any boy. Source UK Database.

Today's contender for the long drop. 🚨 CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER JAILED FOR RAPING A WOMAN IN HER OWN HOME — YEARS AFTER A PREVIOUS INDECENT ASSAULT CONVICTION. William McGuinness, 68, has been sentenced to eight years and six months in prison after a jury found him guilty of rape following a five-day trial at Bradford Crown Court. The victim described him as “overpowering”, saying she was left frightened and feeling violated, fearing what he might do. After the attack, she confided in another woman, who reported the incident to police. McGuinness, of no fixed abode in Bradford, denied the rape and even denied entering the woman’s home. The court heard that he had a previous indecent assault conviction in 2014, for which he was jailed and placed on the sex offenders register. Deputy Circuit Judge Timothy Clayson sentenced him to eight years and six months in prison and imposed a 12-year restraining order.
