Child Rapist Could Walk Free After Nearly 20 Years Behind Bars

A vile predator jailed for life over the abduction and rape of a six-year-old girl may be released following a Parole Board hearing next month.

Brutal Attack in North Tyneside

Peter Voisey was locked up in 2006 after terrorising a young girl in Willington Quay, Wallsend, North Tyneside.

 
“A panel will carefully examine a huge range of evidence, including details of the original crime, behaviour changes, and the impact on victims.”

“Hundreds of pages of reports and witness statements—from probation officers, psychiatrists, prison staff, and victims—are reviewed. The prisoner and witnesses are questioned thoroughly during the hearing, which can last a full day or more.”

“Protecting the public is our number one priority.”

Future In The Balance

The panel will decide if Voisey can be safely managed in the community. If released, questions will remain about the safety of those living near him.
