Paedophile couple jailed in Bradford

Monday, 24 April 2017 07:00

Paedophile lovers who subjected a teenage girl to a catalogue of sex abuse have been handed prison sentences at Bradford Crown Court.

Martin Panton, 49, and Katherine Pengilley, 54, began abusing the victim when she was just 12-years-old.

Panton was sentenced to 10 years with Pengilley receiving a 5 year term.

An NSPCC spokesman said: “We need to ensure that survivors of child sexual abuse feel confident to come forward, safe in the knowledge that their voices will be heard and that justice can be achieved. That’s why the NSPCC is visiting primary schools across the country, including in Bradford, with its ‘Speak Out Stay Safe’ service, empowering children to protect themselves from abuse and to speak out if they ever experience it.”
