Woman's desperate bid to keep 'Coronation Street rapist' behind bars

The daughter of a woman who was attacked by notorious serial rapist Andrew Barlow said her mum lives among various panic alarms and still has nightmares some thirty years on.

She has launched a petition to keep him behind bars, after finding out in the news that he is due to be released this month.

Despite getting 13 life sentences for his crimes, Andrew Barlow, formerly Andrew Longmire, has already spent some time out of prison, as he prepared for his official release in January 2023. He was sentenced in October 1988 after being convicted of 11 rapes, three attempted rapes, indecent assault, and using a firearm to resist arrest.
