41. Lee Clark
Lee Clark, 49, of Southfleet Place, Fleetwood was charged with an appalling catalogue of sexual offences against the child, which he denied during his trial at Preston Crown Court in April. He was charged with a total of 16 offences, with the jury finding him guilty on four counts - 1 x rape, 1 x sexual assault, 1 x assault by penetration and 1 x attempted assault by penetration. He was remanded in custody and sentenced at Preston Crown Court in July. His Honour Judge Preston sentenced him to 13 years in prison. The judge also imposed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order on the 49-year-old. | Lancashire Police
42. Terence Raymond Lewis
Terence Raymond Lewis was arrested at a hotel after a quick-thinking receptionist called the police when he checked in with a young girl. It emerged the 36-year-old had groomed the teenager over an online children's chat forum, beginning when she was just 11 years old. He concealed his real identity and posed as a 14-year-old boy, using another child's photographs under a false name. Lewis, of Bolton Street, Blackpool, was jailed for nine years and nine months, with a three-year extended licence period at a sentencing hearing at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court in December. | Lancashire Police
43. Joanna Evans
Joanna Evans, who uses different male and female names and identities, sexually assaulted three victims in East Lancashire in 2020, police said. The youngest was eight years old and all three were under the age of 13. Evans, 40, of Swansea, failed to attend Burnley Crown Court in May and was jailed for 17 years. | Lancashire Police
44. Ian Hollinghurst
Ian Hollinghurst, 66, thought he was communicating with two 13-year-old girls when in fact they were adult decoys. The online conversations were sexualised despite Hollinghurst thinking he was communicating with young girls. It was when he arranged to meet up with one of them that he was arrested. After Hollinghurst’s arrest, extreme pornographic images were found on his phone. Hollinghurst, of Eldon Street, Preston, appeared before a judge at Preston Crown Court in May for a sentencing hearing. Hollinghurst was jailed for five years and six months and made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 15 years. | Lancashire Police
