9. Mark Hulley: Sheffield paedophile 'destroyed childhood' of girl, 6, in the 'most monstrous way'
Mark Hulley did not say a word as he was escorted out of Sheffield Crown Court to begin a 20-year sentence for a catalogue of sex offences, including five counts of rape, all committed against the same child. Cowardly Hulley, from Sheffield, sought to deny his crimes, putting the survivor of his abuse through the ordeal of a trial, but jurors rejected his account when they found him guilty of 12 sex offences.
At the conclusion of the trial, Hulley was found guilty of five counts of rape of a girl under 16; four counts of indecent assault of a girl under 13, attempted rape of a girl under 13; one count of assaulting a girl under 13 by penetration and one count of voyeurism. Jurors also acquitted Hulley of one count of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Judge Megan Rhys said in her view Hulley did not have any mitigation, and jailed him for 19 years - with an extended licence of one year - bringing his total sentence to 20 years.
10. Michael Kidd: 'Dangerous' and 'wicked' Doncaster man sexually abused and attacked 84-year-old with Alzheimer's
"You truly are a comprehensively wicked individual," a Sheffield judge told a man who 'brutally beat and sexually molested' an 84-year-old woman with advanced Alzheimer's in her own home. Emotionless Michael Kidd sat slumped in his chair, handcuffed and flanked by security guards on either side of him, as he was forced to listen to the life-changing impact of his attack from a dock of a Sheffield Crown Court.
Not only did twisted Kidd leave his vulnerable victim with injuries to 15 different areas of her body - including her breast and buttock - but Judge Richardson said he had also failed to 'exhibit any meaningful remorse or empathy’ or take ‘responsibility' for his crimes. Kidd, of no fixed abode, was subsequently charged with, and pleaded guilty to, one count of causing grievous bodily harm, and two counts of sexual assault. Judge Richardson said he had considered passing a life sentence upon Kidd, but ultimately came to the conclusion that the correct punishment was a 19 year sentence, consisting of 14 years’ custody and five years extended licence, after branding Kidd a 'dangerous' offender who poses a risk to the public.
