10Th Rochdale Abuser Sentenced
I waited for someone to post on this last week knowing the Rochdale Sexual Abuse case is a great favourite of ABers.
// A teenage girl who was forced to pay her rent with 'sexual favours' to an infamous trafficking gang has helped jail a tenth predatory paedophile.
The victim, who was 15 at the time, was abused by landlord John Tatton, 72, after he forced her to pay the rent in 'sexual favours.'
At the time the girl was being repeatedly abused by members of a group of nine men who preyed on underage teenage girls in Heywood, Rochdale, Greater Manchester, and who were later jailed for a total of 77 years.
During police investigations into the ring, the girl told officers about her abuse ordeal at the hands of Tatton at a house in Rochdale.
Today Tatton was jailed for four years after being convicted of five offences of sexual activity with a child and one offence of sexual assault.

Despite being widely reported on the BBC, Daily Mail etc, the case of John Tatton seems to have lacked an ingredient which would mean automatic inclusion in the News section.
Perhaps delatedly you would like to pass comment.

not going to live long after he comes out (if at all).
Just looking at other gang members, only one other got as little as four years.

Gromit, first I've heard of it. Why did you wait for someone else to post it?

Pay the rent? How come she was paying rent at 15? Surely she wasn't living alone - and if she was then someone is seriously guilty of neglect.

Then why didn't you post it yourself sooner Gromit, were you frightened it might show the other nine offenders up.
/// Despite being widely reported on the BBC, Daily Mail etc, the case of John Tatton seems to have lacked an ingredient which would mean automatic inclusion in the News section. ///
If you are referring to me, which is patently obvious, note the time of publication 17-15, which is outside of my AB working day I am afraid, nice one though, 8 out of 10 for effort.
But it matters not one more pervert jailed regardless of his colour.

Perhaps it was because of his age or that sexual activity with a child and one offence of sexual assault, was not deemed as serious by the judge as rape and or conspiracy?
Unless of coarse you are attaching some kind of a conspiracy theory to the case yourself, ie because he was white or it was a white judge etc?
Who knows how the law works, if it was up to me they would all be given life and to mean life.

That is clearly the case. I just wondered why. Conspiring to molest a child seems less important to me than actually molesting her, but I suppose the judge - whose colour I do not know - thinks otherwise.
