| Allen's victims were jubilant outside Mold County Court as they celebrated with family after seeing him jailed |
John Allen was found guilty of committing historical sexual abuse against 18 boys and one girl aged between seven and 15 at his residential care home in Wrexham, North Wales.
The 73-year-old had already spent six years in jail over abuse in the 1970s and avoided prosecution in 2003 over more alleged attacks when legal proceedings collapsed.
In the third dealing with the court, the paedophile was told he must spend at least 11 years behind bars for committing 'grave' offences against children at the Bryn Alyn care home he ran in Wrexham, north Wales.
Mold Crown Court heard how the man's victims considered him 'untouchable' over decades of sustained abuse as they had no one to report his behaviour to while under his care.
Today they hugged one another and their families after seeing the sex offender jailed, with one man telling Sky News he felt as though his 'life sentence' had been lifted. (more...)
