Terrence and Lee Brown raped and sexually assaulted same victims but were apparently unaware of one another's crimes
Terrence and Lee Brown sexually assaulted and raped the same victims over the course of several years. But they were apparently unaware of one another's heinous crimes.
The same court heard in May that now 21-year-old Lee Brown, also of Freshwater Close, was aged 15 when he "groomed and exploited" the two girls, who were only eight and 10. Olivia Beesley, prosecuting, described how he subjected them to a campaign of "systematic, persistent and regular" abuse. His counsel added that his wife is in poor health, saying: "It is regrettable for him, but it is a punishment he has to deal with. It is possible that the last time he will see her is today.
Sentencing, Judge Robert Trevor-Jones told the "predator" that he had further subjected his victims to "coming to court to be cross-examined and branded liars". He said: "Your offending concerned the repeated abuse of both of these victims. Brown - who has no previous convictions - was also handed a restraining order and a sexual harm prevention order, both to run indefinitely. He will be required to sign the sex offenders' register for life.
Detective Constable Irene Cadman, who led the investigation into Lee Brown, said following Friday's sentencing: "This is a horrific situation in which two young girls were subjected to horrendous abuse on separate occasions by a father and son. I would like to recognise the bravery of the victims who, in the case of Terrence, were put through the stress of a trial after he failed to show accountability for his actions.
