Spelman, who was previously incarcerated at Arbour Hill Prison in Ireland, was convicted after a 12-day trial at Chester Crown Court, which concluded on September 5th. The case against him began in 2017 when several men in Crewe came forward to report that they had been victims of Spelman after seeing a court article about him in Irish news publications.
