A convicted child rapist and sex offender has been jailed for a second time

Dean Gathercole, who is already serving a jail sentence for abusing teenagers in the late 1980s, was convicted in February this year of sexually assaulting another girl in his care.

The case relates to his time as assistant manager of another children’s home in Carlton, when Gathercole, now aged 58, assaulted a girl during an overnight trip to a holiday park.
