ROCHDALE MAN
GUILTY IN PLYMOUTH PAEDOPHILE RING (01/10/09) |
|
A 39 year old man from
Rochdale, Colin Blanchard, pleaded guilty to a string of
charges relating to the making, possession and distribution
of indecent images of children, and child sex assaults.
Blanchard had received a police caution for possession of
indecent images of children in 2002 and was placed on the
sex offenders registers until 2007. Mr Justice Royce has
indicated that he would sentence Blanchard, Angela Allen and
Nursery worker, Vanessa George to "substantial prison
terms". Described by many officers as one of the most
sickening and evil cases in UK history, the case has
highlighted the very real fact of female paedophiles.
