This story is awful & infuriating. One of his victims has spoken out - she reported him in 1997 when she was 10 yrs old, having been raped & abused by him from the age of 7. He threatened to kill her mum if she ever told anyone. He'd been discharged from the army for getting a 14yr old pregnant but that information was never disclosed when the police investigated the allegations against him in 1997. He was never charged & his victim was removed from her family & placed in care, left feeling punished for speaking out.

He's been convicted of abusing 6 girls, 2 of them wouldn't have been abused if he'd been convicted of the earlier abuse & rape.
I know the cases are different but the disparity between this abuser's sentence & Challenor's sentence seems too much - this bastard is eligible for parole in just 6 years.
I think David Scott should be in jail for at least his full sentence, preferably longer, and I hope his other victims feel able to come forward.
Laura Lunn - you are a brave, courageous woman & my heart goes out to that amazingly brave 10 yr old girl you were back then. How awful that you were so badly let down by so many.
