Teen Bully-Boys Locked-Up After Mentally-Ill Woman Targeted

Ten Years: Jamie Campin

Two teenage bully-boys preyed on a mentally-ill married woman over twice their age, with one sexually assaulting her in her bedroom, and both getting her to drink their urine and smoke a cannabis joint filled with curry powder.

Jamie Rhys Campin, 19, received ten years custody and Connor James, 19, two years custody at Isleworth Crown Court on Thursday, which heard the young men have a history of tormenting the mentally-ill and recording incidents on their mobile phones of planning and carrying-out such behaviour.

The 43 year-old Hillingdon woman, who is a paranoid schizophrenic who suffers psychotic episodes and has an ongoing alcohol problem, let the local lads into her home early one morning while her husband was staying elsewhere after yet another row.

Campin, of Whitethorn Avenue, West Drayton and James, of Uxbridge Road, Hampton Hill were convicted of two counts of administering a noxious substance, namely urine and curry powder and stealing a laptop and ring, worth £400, from the woman between July 5 and 14, 2013.

Two Years: Connor James

Campin alone was convicted of sexual assault by penetration and both defendants were cleared of affray.

“I was not one hundred per cent well at that time because I have a mental health problem and I did not have any control of the situation,” the victim told the jury. “They just walked in and I didn't want any trouble.

“These people entered my house early, at seven or eight in the morning and I don't understand why I let them in, in the first place. In my head I believed these people were friends of mine.

“I don't understand why I didn't throw them out. I was very vulnerable at the time.”

The court heard a third mystery man was present and the woman remembers two of them disappearing into her bathroom.

“I remember them walking out with a plastic cup and they asked me to drink it and I drunk a bit and realised there was wee in it and spat it out.

“I was lured into my bedroom and I don't remember being forced onto the mattress, but the person who assaulted me was on top of me.

“I was very scared at the time. I was confused and I do not know if it was sheer pure fright or if I was going along with it and not really knowing what was happening.

“I remember my trousers being undone. I don't know if I did it or he did. I don't think it was me, in fact I know it wasn't.”

She told the court she was not sure if a second man was in the bedroom at the time, but had spent his time in her house: “With his hands down the front of his trousers.”

Police later found mobile phone footage of the woman being given a cannabis joint to smoke, which had been laced with curry powder.

Canadian Tip-Off Leads Police To Online Paedo

A paedophile caught with 68,823 child sex images after police received a tip-off from Canadian cops has received a suspended prison sentence.

Kevin John Allen, 56, of Auriol Drive, Uxbridge was identified by Operation Spade as a customer of a Canadian distributor of sick child porn.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent photographs of children on or before May 8, namely 346 Category A; 1,162 Category B and 16,676 at Category C.

He also pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent movies of children on or before May 8, namely 58 Category A; 88 Category B and 36 at Category C.

Allen also admitted a "roll-up charge" of possessing the remanding indecent photographs of children.

Isleworth Crown Court heard officers executed a search warrant at his address, seizing two computers, one desktop tower and an external hard-drive.

Judge Andrew McDowall told Allen: "What you did was most unpleasant, to many disgusting, but I don't feel it deserves and immediate custodial sentence.

"There are young children involved in this and it is rightly regarded by public and parliament and the courts as very serious."

Allen was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment, suspended for two years, and will remain on probation for two years.

He must attend a sixty-day internet sex offender programme, sign the sex offenders register for ten years and an indefinite Sex Offences Prevention Order was made.

Allen was also ordered to pay £110 costs and a £100 victim surcharge.  

Housekeeper At Landmark Building Nicked Thousands From Employers

Thief: Raquel Villanueva

A housekeeper, who worked for a couple at their exclusive mansion block and pinched £13,000 in cash, jewellery and other valuables - forcing her victims to buy back their own property from a local pawnbroker - has received a suspended prison sentence.

Raquel Villanueva, 47, of Leslie Road, Leytonstone pleaded guilty to theft from her employer, Nicholas True, between April 1and October 16 at Bryanston Court, George Street, Bayswater.

She was sentenced to four months imprisonment, suspended for twelve months, and was ordered to perform 50 hours community service work.

Isleworth Crown Court heard Mr. True's wife noticed a large amount of jewellery was missing from the bedroom and other items were missing and there were no signs of a break-in.

Their Transport For London Oyster card was also being used by somebody and had been topped-up in Leytonstone, where the defendant lives.

The couple's Harrods card also had a mystery £9,500 spent on it, but Villanueva denied knowing anything about this.

However, she did admit taking cash and jewellery, including Mr. True's expensive lighter, which he did not even know was missing.

She admitted taking cash and taking a holdall and using both their Oyster cards and said she was broke and stressed.

She said she had sold the property at a pawn shop and had receipts at home.

In her purse Mr. True found £1,000 cash and a £500 Selfridges gift card, along with his business card and a Harrods rewards points card.

Plush: Bryanston Court

Villanueva was taken by mini-cab to her home, where she tried to hide one of the receipts, but handed over the lighter she had stolen.

At an Earl's Court pawn shop Mr. True had to pay £2,850 to recover his own items and then called the police, who arrested first-time offender Villanueva.

Her lawyer told the court: "She's pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and this is clearly a serious breach of trust. She's deeply remorseful and it is difficult to ascertain the reason she did what she did."

Married Businessman Broke Russian Intern's Wrist When Kicking Her Out Of Bed

An married international education entrepreneur, who enjoyed a fling with a Russian intern, has been convicted of kicking her out of bed and breaking her wrist as she fell against a wall.

Cambridge University-educated businessman John Crawford Florey, 48, of Chequers Avenue, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire met the woman when she was seeking in internship with his company.

They had spent an evening at an education symposium at the London School of Economics and returned to an apartment Florey had rented for the night in Royal Crescent, Notting Hill, where he flew into a rage when Olga Grigorash refused to undress.

He was convicted by an Isleworth Crown Court jury of causing grievous bodily harm to the woman in the early hours of March 4 and will return for sentencing on February 27.

Prosecutor Mr Neil Griffin told the court: “The defendant has kicked Miss Grigorash out of bed. A kick of such force that she fell against the wall and fractured her wrist.

“They had attended a function in central London, went out to eat and went back to the apartment.

“It seems the defendant rubbed toothpaste into her dress as they were brushing their teeth in the bathroom and this upset her along with him going out to smoke because she did not like smoking.

“She decided to keep her dress on and the defendant had undressed down to his boxer's and tried very roughly to kiss her.

“He had a second cigarette and returned to the bedroom and forced himself onto her and she told him he was hurting her,” explained Mr. Griffin.

“Suddenly he kicked her, she says, to the back. She fell out of the bed against the wall and onto the floor and Mr. Florey shouted: 'Get out.'

“She grabbed her clothes and left in hurry, flagged down a taxi and was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where her wrist was put in a cast.”

Miss Grigorash reported Florey to police the next day and he was arrested at Heathrow Airport returning from a foreign business trip.

He was questioned at Notting Hill Police Station and gave a conflicting version of events.

“He said he thought they were going to have sex and thought it was strange she left her dress on,” added the prosecutor. “He said he made the remark that she was not great in bed and she went mad and stumbled and fell over while they were arguing.”

Miss Grigorash told the jury she knew Florey was married, often meeting up with him in central London and sometimes using a flat in Shepherd's Bush, where his parents and sister lived.

They began a sexual relationship in July, 2013, but she explained she soon tired of his aggressive behaviour and they had a short break-up before getting back together.

“Whenever I was late he was so rude, he was quite sadistic I would say and I could see he became violent,” explained Miss Grigorash, adding their sex life was often a cause of arguments.

“When I didn't do it the way he wanted he got pretty aggressive. He didn't have an erection and took it out on me and was quite violent with me and hurt me and was very unpleasant.”

Lorry Driver Who Killed O.A.P Sentenced

A Nottinghamshire lorry driver, who killed a 91 year-old man who was crossing a busy west London road after failing to check for pedestrians before pulling away, has been placed on a twelve-month community order, which includes 100 hours of unpaid work.

Shane Redfearn, 33, of Lawnwood Avenue, Elkesley, Retford was driving along Fulham Palace Road on July 8 when he knocked over John Goulding, who died almost immediately.

He was convicted by an Isleworth Crown Court jury of causing death by careless driving.

Prosecutor Mr. James O'Connell told the court: “Last summer this defendant was driving a fully-laden truck with a trailer at 10.30am and Mr. Goulding had just got off a bus and elected, not by the wisest way, to cross the road.

“He walked to the back of the bus and was confronted with the side of this defendant's truck so walked towards the cab of the stationary vehicle and stepped in front of the cab.

“The truck pulled away and the driver drove over Mr. Goulding.

“The truck moved a few yards until a member of the public notified this defendant there was someone under the truck and Mr. Goulding died within a few minutes under the truck.

“This defendant should have seen Mr. Goulding by using his mirrors properly. He has a number of mirrors on that vehicle, including a mirror that looks right down in front of the truck.

“Mr. Goulding was knocked over and killed, but despite him putting himself in that position he should not have been hit and knocked over and killed.

“Mr. Redfearn's driving fell below the standard expected that day.”

Redfearn will also have to pay £3,500 costs, a £60 victim surcharge and received three penalty points on his driving licence.

'Mad Dog's' Sister In Boozy Bus Crash

A female member of a notorious south London crime family, who have clocked-up over eighty-three convictions including murder and wounding, crashed into a bus full of passengers while three times the alcohol limit and without a licence and insurance after an all-day drinking-session.

Louise Sonnex, 40, knocked back rum in the morning and joined more friends in the afternoon, who helped polish off a dozen cans of lager, before jumping behind the wheel of a pal's car and careering into a busy road, where she struck the double-decker and bounced into railings, knocking herself out on impact.

Sonnex, of Etta Street, Deptford pleaded guilty to driving the blue Peugeot carelessly and with excess alcohol in her breath in nearby Evelyn Street, on June 22, driving without a full licence and insurance and possessing a small quantity of cannabis resin.

A charge of aggravated taking and driving away of the vehicle and causing criminal damage was withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service.

She was sentenced to fourteen weeks imprisonment, suspended for two years; placed on  eighteen months probation, which includes a nine-month alcohol treatment requirement and was ordered to pay £200 costs and an £80 victim surcharge.

Sonnex was also disqualified from driving for two years. There were no separate penalties for the remaining driving offences or possessing the cannabis.

Her brother, Dano 'Mad Dog' Sonnex, 27, is serving life imprisonment, with a forty-year minimum, for the gruesome murders of French students Gabriel Ferez, 23, and Laurent Bonomo, 23, who were stabbed a total of 244 times on June 29, 2008.

Her father, Bernard Sonnex, 60, has at least twenty-six convictions, including firearms and drugs, and has been to prison six times and her brother Bernie Sonnex Jnr., 41, has been to prison at least ten times for a minimum of thirty-four offences, including theft and aggravated burglary.

Prosecutor Miss Thandi Lubimbi told Bexley Magistrates Court: "It was 7pm when the defendant came out of a junction, without paying attention, and drove into the side of the bus and then crashed into railings."

Sonnex was seen hanging out of the car's door, having knocked herself out when her head hit the dashboard.

"There were passengers in the bus and a passenger in the vehicle and an off-duty paramedic attended to the defendant, who then left the vehicle and returned later."

Officers noticed her breath smelled of alcohol and she was arrested, later giving a reading of 105 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit is 35.

"The defendant did not have a licence and was not insured to drive the vehicle and when she was searched the cannabis was found," added Miss Lubimbi.

Sonnex has a criminal past to match her male relatives and has served time for the pub glassing of another woman and beating another woman with a golf club.

Her lawyer, who refused to give her name, told the court: "On the night before she had been drinking and when she woke up the next morning went to her friend Keith Jones's house and they both had drinks at 10am.

"She had a few rums and and the owner of the vehicle, Lisa Perry, pulled up and was invited into the garden where they all had drinks into the late afternoon.

"Lisa then invited them to her house and Miss Sonnex remembers having a roast dinner and more drinks and Mr. Jones remembers seeing a dozen empty cans on the table.

"She doesn't remember anything after that until the collision and waking up afterwards, but Mr. Jones says Lisa Perry was driving them home, but kept stopping to chat to friends and the third time she left the vehicle with the engine still running.

"Miss Sonnex was shouting at her to get back in the car and had moved across to the driver's seat when she panicked and the car accelerated and that's when the accident happened.

"She doesn't drive, she doesn't know how to drive and has had a provisional licence for years.

"She has a lot of issues in terms of mental health and has been diagnosed and is being looked at for bipolar and borderline personality disorder, depression and for a number of years abused drugs and more recently has misused alcohol."

District Judge Robert Hunter announced: "The public were put at considerable risk by her and of course she was uninsured."

Norwich City Striker Caught Speeding

Norwich City striker Lewis Grabban was fined and hit with six penalty points today after he was caught speeding at nearly twice the limit.

The 27 year-old former Bournemouth and Rotherham star, of Ridley Road, Warlingham, Surrey has hit seven goals this season for the Championship club.

He did not attend Lavender Hill Magistrates Court, but admitted by letter driving his grey Nissan at 53mph in a 30mph zone at 6.43pm in Edgware Road, Cricklewood on August 13, last year.

Grabban, who had a clean licence, wrote: "I only wish to say I am sorry for the offence. I came from the motorway and was rejoining the A5 and accelerated because it looked like a dual carriageway.

"It was a thirty mph limit, which I missed. I need to be able to drive to and from work, which is in Norwich."

He was fined £1,000, with £85 costs and was ordered to pay a £100 victim surcharge.

Suspended Prison Sentence For Student Glasser

Trowbridge Town Mayor & Dolman

An award-winning student left a fellow-pub customer permanently scarred when she hurled a beer glass at him during a row over his legs blocking her path.

Zoe Dolman, 25, of Hornby Walk, Trowbridge, who studies Art and Design at Wiltshire College and received her year's highest Outstanding award from Trowbridge's mayor, has been sentenced to six months imprisonment, suspended for twelve months.

She was convicted of assaulting 32 year-old Dominic Sattaur, causing him actual bodily harm, at The Old Garage, Replingham Road, Southfields, south-west London on May 25.

He was covered in blood and fragments of glass were left imbedded in an open wound that was later glued by A&E doctors.

He told Wimbledon Magistrates Court : “I was slouching in my chair and my legs were sticking out a bit and as this girl walked in the she kicked me in the knee and said: 'Get the f*** out of my way.'

Guilty: Zoe Dolman

“She kept making comments and digs at me and I told her to leave me alone and go back outside and there was a bit on an argument.

“Outside her and a guy with a mohawk she was with kept making digs at the people outside and were both getting more and more drunk.

“I went inside and was ordering a drink when she tried to cut in and the girl behind the bar told her she had too much to drink and they all had to leave.

“Back outside I was talking to someone and the girl picked up a glass and hit me in the face with it. There was blood all over my face, I was scared, and her dad ran over and tried to fight me.

“He chased and followed me back inside and it started up again, but luckily my friend pulled him away.

“I went up to the bathroom and my face was covered in blood. I wiped it with a tissue and I could see it had opened up, a centimetre and a half gap down my face.

“Her dad ran up the stairs and tried to start again while I was in the bathroom.”

Glassed: Dominic Sattaur

When Dolman was questioned by police she admitted drinking a small bottle of wine during her train journey to Paddington Station earlier that day, drinking a pint of cider at the station, and having “a pint or two more” before the disturbance.

She claimed Mr. Sattaur started trouble. “A guy was winding me up and being nasty. He called me a gypsy.”

Prosecutor Miss Saliha Ayub told the court: “She later admitted throwing her drink at Mr. Sattaur and said she could not remember if she threw a glass at him.

“She said Mr. Sattaur tried to hit her and everyone piled in, including her dad.”

Dolman was also placed on probation for twelve months and ordered to pay £100 costs to Mr. Sattaur.

Hospital Visitor Jailed For Molesting Down's Syndrome Patient

A hospital visitor, who took sexual advantage of a 29 year-old woman with Down's Syndrome, repeatedly kissing her and once putting his hand between her legs, has been jailed for twenty-one months.

Investigative journalist Anthony Moncrieffe, 68, of Buckland Hill, Maidstone, visited the Dover woman at the Royal Brompton Hospital, Chelsea and was arrested on the ward when suspicious staff eventually called the police.

"Her mental disorder means she is unable to agree to sexual touching, she has Down's Syndrome and looks about ten years-old," Isleworth Crown Court Judge Nicholas Wood told the first-time offender.

"She has been described in this court as an: 'Innocent sweet-smiling child' and was described by one witness of reminding her of her five year-old.

"Kent social services knew she was a vulnerable person and she was incapable of agreeing to sexual touching because she does not understand the nature and consequences of it."

He was found guilty by a jury of six counts of sexual activity with a mentally disabled person between between September 27 and November 15, 2012.

Five counts relate to kissing the woman on the lips and the sixth alleges Moncrieffe, a former investigative journalist and a veteran of the Daily Mirror; Sunday People; Press Association and Reuters, put his hand beneath her underwear.

"You put your hand inside her knickers, at the front," Judge Wood told Moncrieffe. "There was a significant degree of planning by you and a breach of trust."

Moncrieffe must also sign the sex offenders register for ten years and was made subject to an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order, banning him from any contact with the victim.

His lawyer Andrew Hope said: "When he saw the probation service Mr. Moncrieffe was open to some sort of intervention, but his difficulty is he maintains his innocence.

"The probation service conclude that by not taking responsibility he is minimising the seriousness of the offences.

"The nursing staff indicated there was a genuine degree of affection for the complainant from this defendant, who sadly now suffers from several serious health problems.

"He has sleep apnea and needs a machine to sleep, has hearing problems and chronic anxiety and depression exacerbated since the jury's verdicts were returned."  

Moncrieffe was the subject of a separate police probe in November 2011 when a bag belonging to him, which contained an escort profile, details of his website, his press card and viagra was found, apparent evidence of the defendant passing himself off as a sex consultant.

"I don't think I'd be a sex worker, look at me," Moncrieffe told the jury, insisting he had invented a persona so he could investigate the Tender Loving Care Trust, but abandoned the project after two weeks.

"I wanted to infiltrate the organisation because I suspected disabled people were being exploited and my job is to bring that out into the public domain.

"A condition of TLC is that you have your own website giving more information on yourself, including more pictures in evening wear and swimwear. 

"It seems they are a bone fide organisation, legal. There was no story there."

Different members of hospital staff gave evidence against the father-of-four, who regularly visited the woman, and the first said he lifted her oxygen mask and kissed her on the lips.

Moncrieffe explained: "It was an adult-sized mask and she's got a very little face and the mask kept slipping down. I pushed it back onto the bridge of her nose and tightened it.

"She is always smiling and I said: 'Good girl,' and kissed her on the tip of her nose."

The second witness claims seeing Moncrieffe with the oxygen mask in his hand and suspecting him of kissing the woman, but admits their view was not clear.

"What would I want to kiss a little girl on the lips for?," asked the defendant. "Particularly a sick little girl."

A third witness says he was lying on the hospital bed, beside the woman, when he leaned over, lifted the oxygen mask and kissed her.

A fourth claim they heard the sound of kisses coming from Moncrieffe and the woman and he was arrested the day another member of staff says he was touching her between the legs.

"We were holding hands and our hands were resting on her lap," he told the jury. We always held hands, a child likes security.

"The next thing I knew two uniformed security guards arrived."

Suspended Sentence For Witness Nobbling Attempt

A man behind a witness nobbling bid in a £30,000 civil court case has received a suspended sentence and a restraining order prohibiting him contacting the victim for a decade.

David Hall, 47, of Wellington Street, Waterloo, Liverpool told Ryan Elliott: “You have no friends in Liverpool, drop the case or it will be more than your car next time,” referring to paint-stripper being thrown on the vehicle and: “Last warning, drop the case.”

He pleaded guilty at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court to one charge of intimidating a witness in civil proceedings on January 20 at Waterloo Business Centre, Southwark, namely verbally threatened Mr. Elliott knowing he was a witness in civil debt recovery proceedings, intending to cause the course of justice to be obstructed.


Hall was also ordered to pay £300 costs.
