The court case is on trial at Bolton Crown Court on the 14th Feb.He previously signed a confession charge sheet admitting his guilt for the charges against him.I personally went because i thought he was in custody and awaiting to be sentenced,however to my horror we were informed upon arriving that he was only in custody for a week then released on bail.There were several confrontations at the Court between him and his victims this lasted for about 2-3min this was about to get out of control,then his name got called out and the hearing was about to go ahead.When we went into court he asked for us all to be removed to which the judge rightly said there was no reason to do this so we stayed.Upon stopping we heard that he wanted to withdraw his confession and plead not guilty to all of the charges( 5 charges had been brought against him he admitted and signed a confession to 4 out of the 5).The result meant that the court was ajourned to see if this was possible to the date above in Feb.
Some positives came out however from Monday,interestingly when his name was called out over the speakers they asked for Mr Stan Artington.It turns out that they had his name spelt wrong,as a result of this none of his previous convictions had been brought up in court this was found out after the hearing and the issue is being dealt with.How this happened we do not know but as we know perverts will try anything they can to carry on doing what they are doing so this is something which i would obviously not put past him.
The court case you can remember was in Rossendale and one of the victims was one of my relatives.Why he was'nt sentenced is something to which not only my family but no doubt the latest victims family have asked themselves recently.Hope this information helps-did you use to be in his cong,circuit?
