Three jailed for abusing children | Three jailed for abusing children |
(10 minutes later) | |
Three people who abused two children during a six-hour orgy arranged over the internet have been jailed. | |
The incident took place at a house in Fleet, Hampshire, in June 2005. | |
Steven Horton, 44, from Kemsley in Kent, was given an indeterminate jail sentence but was told he would serve at least five-and-a-half years. | |
Archibald Wood, 60, from Tavistock, Devon, was jailed for seven years, and Monica McCanch, 55, of Montego Bay, Jamaica, was handed a six-year term. | |
They had previously pleaded guilty to a total of 42 sex offences, with Wood asking for another 17 offences to be taken into consideration. | |
Kent Police, the force which led the investigation, said Horton had abused the children on his own on separate occasions. | |
After communicating with Wood over the internet, he took the 13-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl to the private property in Fleet. | |
Wood and McCanch met at the Fleet service area on the M3 before making their way to the house. |
