Paedophile who abused teenage girls twenty years ago has sentenced extended by five years after successful appeal
GMP worked with the survivors and the CPS to take Christopher Oates’ unduly lenient sentence to the Court of Appeal.
Today, both survivors and our specialist CSE detectives were at the court in London as Oates had his sentence increased by an additional five years.
DI Eleanor Humphreys, senior investigating officer for this case, said: “Oates will now rightly serve consecutive sentences for both victims, meaning that his time behind bars reflects the totality of his offending against both women – whose lives he has so badly impacted.
“We will not relent in ensuring child sex offenders are brought to justice and face the full consequences for their horrific crimes.”
