1. Church-goer caged for sex offences against girls
A DEVOUT church member has been jailed for 18 years for serious sexual offences against two young girls.
Raymond Parkin (59), of Burns Avenue, Mansfield, was convicted by a jury of raping one girl some years ago when she was aged only six.The jury also convicted him of sexually assaulting a second girl when she was aged five.
Nottingham Crown Court was told Parkin still continued to protest his innocence, but Judge Tony Mitchell told him the evidence against him, during his trial last month, was 'overwhelming'.
Parkin's barrister Ian Way said the court had been told of 'terrible things' that had taken place but there was another side to his client.
He had nursed his sick wife and father and was still supported by his sons and he was also in failing health himself.
He had some offences of dishonesty when a younger man, but no prior convictions of a sexual nature.
"He is a devout member of the Mormon Church and has been for 29 years," said Mr Way.
Parkin felt, with great regret, that he would be unable to continue practicing his religion properly in prison.
The judge told Parkin that he will serve half of his sentence and then will be released, but he will be on licence for the rest of his life.
He will also be on the Sex Offenders' Register for life.
