A deviant, Marc Howson Blackpool Paedophile, who inflicted a series of egregious assaults and sexual violence upon women and girls has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Repugnant Marc Howson’s egregious conduct encompassed igniting his victim’s hair, constricting her neck with telephone wire, extinguishing a cigarette on another’s cheek, in addition to perpetrating several acts of rape and sexual abuse.
The egregious mistreatment occurred throughout a decade during the 1990s and 2000s.
Marc Howson (5/11/76), residing on Somerset Avenue in Blackpool, was convicted following a trial at Preston Crown Court. He was convicted of 11 counts involving three victims: two counts of indecent assault, three acts of assault, and six counts of rape, one of which encompassed numerous episodes.
This Wednesday, he was condemned as a dangerous offender to a total of 30 years: 26 years of imprisonment followed by four years of extended license.
Marc Howson was also subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and mandated to register as a sex offender.
Det Sgt Kat Knock, of Blackpool Police, said: “First and foremost I would like to commend the three women for having the courage to speak about what happened to them. Without their bravery Howson’s monstrous crimes may never have come to light.
“The level of depravity he subjected his victims to beggars belief – he is a clear danger to women and I welcome the fact that he is now behind bars for a lengthy period of time.
“I hope that this significant sentence gives these women some sense that justice has been done and that it may encourage others who may have suffered similar abuse the courage to come forward and report it to us safe in the knowledge that we will investigate professionally and with sensitivity and that we will do all we can to put offenders before the courts and to secure justice for victims.”
