Paedophile who raped teen boy dies in prison after applying for early release

A paedophile who was jailed after drugging a teenage boy and raping him has died in prison after applying for early release on compassionate grounds.

Terrence Eastwood was jailed for 19 years in 2017 following a trial at Preston Crown Court, where a jury heard how he gave the boy cocaine and tramadol before raping him on a caravan holiday.

The abuse continued over a number of years, with Eastwood keeping his victim quiet by buying him clothes and gifts. His victim later bravely spoke to a counsellor, who reported Eastwood to the police, reports LancsLive.
