In a significant development at the St. Albans Crown Court yesterday, Alec Housden, a 60-year-old resident of Kingsbury Gardens in Dunstable, faced the consequences of his abhorrent actions. Housden, who had already pleaded guilty to two disturbing sexual assaults and kidnappings dating back to the early 2000s in Harpenden, appeared in court to face trial for an additional charge of kidnapping related to an incident from 2004.
