PROLIFIC CONVICTED PAEDOPHILE RECEIVES ANOTHER SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT
Having pleaded guilty in August to multiple counts relating to sexual abuse of boys aged 6-11 living in Vietnam, spanning a ten-year period (see 2HB News dated 8th August 2023), the defendant, Behn, today received an extended sentence of 17 years’ imprisonment. Mark Gadsden appeared at the Sentencing Hearing on behalf of the Crown.
A co-defendant, Thorogood, will be sentenced for his involvement later this month.
The NCA investigation of the organised paedophile network continues in a number of countries across Europe and includes suspects based in the UK.
Mark (and Tom Nicholson & Edward Franklin who appeared for the Crown at the plea hearing) was instructed by the CPS Serious Economic, Organised Crime and International Directorate (SEOCID).
