Six
had originally been convicted of a sexual offence against an adult female; two
of the six had a previous conviction for a sexual offence. When reconvicted
all but one again victimized an adult:
 |
One (who had originally been imprisoned for six years and six months for
raping a friend of his wife) was sentenced, 40 months after being released
from prison, to life imprisonment for rape of an adult woman.
|
|
Two received hospital orders:
 |
One
(who had originally been imprisoned for four years six months for an indecent
assault on his adult ex-girlfriend) was reconvicted, 29 months after his
release, for the false imprisonment and rape of an adult woman.
|
|
The
other (who had originally been imprisoned for five years nine months for
attempting to rape a female stranger in the street) was reconvicted for an
indecent assault on an adult woman, seven years after his initial release,
after having appeared in court on more than 20 occasions for non-sexual
offences and having already served a four-year sentence for robbery with
violence.
|
|
|
Three others received very long sentences:
|
One (who had originally been
sentenced to nine years six months for raping a pregnant woman to whom he had
been introduced shortly after being released from prison on parole from a
sentence of three years six months for raping an adult woman) received 16
years' imprisonment, only six months after release, for kidnapping and two
cases of rape.
|
|
One
(sentenced originally to six years six months for raping a woman with whom he
had socialized) was reconvicted, 32 months after his release, for false
imprisonment and indecent assault on an adult woman, for which he was
sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment.

The
third (who had originally been imprisoned for seven years for raping a 62-
year-old woman in the street, having been previously convicted on two separate
occasions of indecent exposure and indecent assault and placed on probation)
was sentenced, 38 months after release, to 12 years for false imprisonment and
indecent assault on a female under the age of 16. This was the only case where
an offender released from a prison sentence for an offence against an adult
subsequently victimized a child.

|
|
|
Five
had originally been sentenced for a sexual offence against a child or
children, all outside of their family unit. Three of them had been previously
convicted for a sexual offence against a child. On reconviction:
|
One (who had originally been imprisoned for 11 years for a series of indecent
assaults on male and female children as young as eight, having befriended
their families, and who had nine previous convictions and five custodial
sentences for assaults on both male and female children) received a sentence
of nine-and-a-half years, 58 months after release, for indecent assaults on
boys. He was the only offender against males who was reconvicted of an offence
against a male (for further discussion of this case, see Case B below).
|
|
The second (who had originally been sentenced to five years' imprisonment for
unlawful sexual intercourse with the eight-year-old daughter of a friend over
a period of three years, having previously received a short term of
imprisonment on two counts of indecent assault on young boys) was, three years
after his release, sentenced to seven years' imprisonment for attempted rape,
indecent assault, and unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of
13.
|
|
The third (who had originally been imprisoned for seven years on two counts of
indecently assaulting girls, with 16 offences taken into consideration, when
in breach of a supervision order for an indecent assault on a 12-year-old girl
stranger) was, only seven months after leaving prison, again imprisoned, this
time for six years for indecent assault on a girl under the age of 16 (and
five years after that was convicted again of a similar offence for which he
was imprisoned for nine months).
|
|
The fourth (who had originally been sentenced to eight years on three counts
of rape and two of indecent assault against girls aged between six and ten
whom he had befriended in the neighbourhood) was reconvicted, 63 months after
his release, and sentenced to three years' imprisonment for indecently
assaulting a girl under the age of 16.
|
|
The fifth (who had originally been sentenced to five years on four counts of
indecent assault and two of taking indecent photographs of girls aged 10 to
14, whom he involved in prostitution) was again reconvicted, 27 months after
release, for possession of indecent photographs. For this he received two
years' imprisonment.
