UK sisters rape boy for 14 yrs; court sets them free, says they are deaf'

Herefordshire, West Midlands: In an incident that shocked UK, a court in West Midlands, England, has ruled in favour of two paedophile sisters who were accused of sexually abusing a six-year-old boy.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the Worcester Crown Court in its ruling, said that both the accused were deaf and they would experience 'complete isolation' if sent to jail.

Identified as Julie Fellows, 30, and Jennifer, 32, the accused sisters from Kington, Herefordshire in West Midlands, had molested the victim for over a period of 14 years.

While the case was undergoing a trial in court, prosecutors told judge that in the year 2000, Julie had lured the victim into a toilet and began touching herself inappropriately.

On another occasion, she performed oral sex on the victim who failed to understand that it was a crime, since it happened almost every time. Prosecutors said that she also had sex with the boy when he turned 14.

She was found guilty of raping the boy, inciting him as well as engaging in non-penetrative sexual activity.

Despite being found guilty, the sisters were spared jail because the judge believed that they were deaf and it would be unfair to send them in prison as it would land them in isolation.

However, both the accused were ordered to undergo 30 sessions of sexual offending programme and were slapped with a five-year restraining order to not have any contact with the victim.
