Tracy Turner and Stuart Compton jailed for planning child rapes
A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for planning "brutal" sex offences against children, alongside his hospital worker girlfriend. Stuart Compton, 46, has been sentenced to life in prison, while Tracy Turner, 52, will face 12 years in prison plus another two on licence. Turner, from Roath, Cardiff, who was an operating theatre assistant at University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, previously admitted six charges of arranging the commission of child sex offences, and two charges of making indecent images of a Tydfil Crown Court heard the couple sent about 100,000 messages discussing the rape and abuse of three different children. Compton, of Cathays, Cardiff also previously admitted six charges of arranging the commission of child sex will serve a minimum tariff of seven years before he can apply for parole. Warning: this story contains graphic details Sentencing Compton to life in prison, Judge Tracey Lloyd Clarke told him "it is clear you were the driving force in the messages" and he "did not accept seriousness" of his Matthew Cobbe told the court there were an "extraordinary amount" of messages related to "discussing sexual depravity involving children".The court heard it took officers several weeks to go through the messages, which related to two girls and a boy under the age of 13 at the time the messages court heard that two of the children were aged eight and one was 12 when Compton and Turner began discussing Cobbe said while no contact was made with the children, the messages sent over many months showed a "clear attempt to arrange and commit sexual activities" with the children."Fantasy plainly turned into obsession," Mr Cobbe said, as Compton described in messages "graphic accounts of what he wanted to do" with individual court heard that messages showed Compton was interested in children "aged one to six".Both Compton and Turner shook their heads as graphic details of the messages they sent to each other were read Cobbe said the pair exchanged messages where they discuss the possibility of going to a festival or camping, so they could "be around" families with young children."Turner suggests a family festival, not too expensive," Mr Cobbe said. In the messages, Compton described it as a great idea, commenting he would like to go to a "hippy one, where lots of drugs consumed leaving unattended girls". "That's genius babe," Compton added. The court heard of "brutal acts" planned for the children in specific locations including a shed and a Cobbe told the court they discussed the "disposal" of a child if their attack had lead to a "fatal conclusion" with Compton saying he would take full responsibility if that prosecutor told the court "what began as fantasy became obsession and an intended goal".One plan included drugging one of the children with a sleeping pill before abusing Cobbe said it was clear Compton "wanted the plan to go ahead". None of the offences were related to Turner's hospital role although she was suspended from work after she was also admitted making and distributing images of child abuse by sending images to "like-minded people".Compton was arrested in December 2024 after a concern was raised about messages from him on a dating told police he did not have his phone with him, but Turner had given it to a pub landlord for safe keeping before asking the police what was landlord passed the phone to police and Turner was also initially denied any and Turner had also both denied a string of other conspiracy offences, including conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to rape and conspiracy to kidnap. Those charges will now lie on file. 'Gut-wrenching and sickening' The parents of the children had personal impact statements read in mother said that when she heard what the messages contained, it was "gut-wrenching and sickening. I lost my appetite and was upset and sick all the time".The mother said "we stopped walking to school altogether and didn't know who we could trust", adding "we are hesitant to allow them to socialise away from us".She said the thought "of what could have happened to our child by two people with monstrous sexual intent is unfathomable".The father of another child said: "The pain they have put me and my family through is incomprehensible. It's harder than losing my mother." The mother of a third child said she was "furious", adding she was "put in a situation where I have to lie to my child to protect her from the truth". "In time I hope my internal horror will diminish," she added. If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this article, there is support available through BBC Action Line.

Major update into ‘murders' of two men seven years ago as cops STILL hunting body of victim who was ‘tortured to death'
POLICE have given a major update into the 'murder' of two men seven years ago as the authorities are still looking for the body of one of the victims. Four people have now been charged with conspiracy to murder as part of an investigation into the deaths of two men in Coventry seven years ago. 3 3 Johnny Robbins, 33, disappeared on March 21, 2018, and is believed to have been tortured before being murdered. His body has never been found. Mr Robbins' death has been linked by detectives to the murder of 28-year-old Daniel Shaw, who was found with gunshot injuries to his chest in Copland Place, Tile Hill, four days after Mr Robbins was last seen. Five people were arrested in an early morning operation at addresses in Coventry and Warwickshire on Monday, West Midlands Police said. The charges relate to the alleged kidnap, torture and murder of Mr Robbins only, as detectives have so far not been able to gather sufficient evidence to charge anyone in relation to the death of Daniel Shaw, the force added. Sam Jones, 26, and Ben Whyley, 36, have both been charged with kidnap, false imprisonment, wounding with intent and conspiracy to murder. Jordan Doswell, 29, and Junior Makosso, 28, have both been charged with false imprisonment, wounding with intent and conspiracy to murder. Thomas Young, 29, has been charged with kidnap and false imprisonment. All five are due to appear at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Monday afternoon. Six other people who were arrested or voluntarily interviewed last year as part of the investigation will face no further action. I thought mom abandoned me as a baby but she'd been left 'without a face' in brutal murder - cops 'can solve it & won't' Senior Investigating Officer Jenny Birch said: "This is a really significant development in our investigation into the deaths of Johnny and Daniel. "We have said from the outset that we were absolutely committed to establishing the truth behind what happened to them, and that has been true throughout the many years we have been investigating. "We have spoken to Johnny and Daniel's families today to update them on the latest developments, and will continue to support them. "Seven years have passed, and allegiances change. "We still need people with information about what happened to do the right thing - pick up the phone and tell us what you know." Detectives are still appealing for information about the whereabouts of Ryan Hobday, from Coventry, who was 28 in 2018, who is wanted in connection with the murders, although officers believe he may also have been murdered. Anyone with information on the location of Hobday, or with any other information, can call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
