Two paedophiles held a little boy down on a bed and abused him as he told them to let go.
Gareth Culshaw, 52, recently of HMP Altcourse, chatted briefly with accomplice John O’Brien, 67, of Stonelea, Windmill Hill, Runcorn, as they were reunited in disgrace in the dock at Chester Crown Court for sentence on March 24 . Culshaw had previously pleaded guilty to seven charges of sexual assault of a child under 13 relating to two young children - and one of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity in relation to one of the "defenceless and innocent" victims.
O’Brien was convicted at trial of one count of sexual assault of a child under 13 years of age relating to a joint offence with Culshaw and representing at least two instances of touching. On Friday at Chester, Myles Wilson, prosecuting, told how the vile abuse occurred during the 2010s.
