Paedophile Michael Costin was sentenced to 15 years in prison after a victim's impact statement from beyond the grave emphasized the devastation caused. Several victims testified at Snaresbrook Crown Court about the childhood trauma inflicted by Costin, with one victim represented by their father as they had passed away earlier. Costin faced prior child sex offense convictions before being found guilty of further abuses, including 14 new child victims, with four incidents occurring while he was a scout leader in the 1980s.
Ex-Premier League footballer Nathan Ashton, aged 37, received a 16-year jail term for raping a woman during her sleep in Romford. The assault took place after a night out in Shoreditch when Ashton offered a lift to the victim and her friends.
