Southport resident Michael McGrane, 61, has been sentenced to 23 years in prison after being found guilty of rape and indecent assault. The sentencing took place at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday, November 13.
The investigation into McGrane began in January 2023 when detectives received a report of historic sex offences against a child. These offences were found to have occurred over a number of years.
Detective Inspector Rob Pritchard, who led the investigation, expressed satisfaction with the outcome. He said, “This sentence is the result of a thorough investigation aimed at ensuring that McGrane is held accountable for his utterly depraved actions.”
