Horrific Attacks in Local Parks

On the evening of 15 October last year, Lanchester stalked a boy as he walked a friend home. The predator followed the teenager into Wash Meadows Recreation Ground, known locally as Johnny’s Park, off Millership Way. He tried to hug the boy before sexually assaulting and raping him. Sentencing on 1 December, the judge ordered the prison term to be served in a young offenders’ institution. Lanchester must also stay on the sex offenders register for life and is subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order indefinitely. Additionally, restraining orders were imposed on both victims for five years. Justice served for victims and the community alike as this dangerous predator is locked up.
