In a trial at Manchester Crown Court, Stephen Newmarch of Broomfield Close in Bolton was found guilty of 15 sexual offences against two victims. Yesterday, on Monday 13 May 2024, he was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment.

The victims, now in their 30s, displayed tremendous courage as they gave their testimonies during the trial. Their compelling evidence led to the conviction of Newmarch, who had committed these heinous crimes in the early 2000s. At that time, Newmarch held positions as an Educational Welfare Officer and a foster carer in Bury.
