A man from Cornwall's been jailed for life at Liverpool Crown Court after being convicted of drugging girls and filming himself attacking them.
View attachment 229 Phillip Brindle from Ladock posed as an amateur photographer and convinced vulnerable young girls to pose naked for him.

His wife, who's since died, helped the 54 year-old carry out the attacks at their home in Wigan in Lancashire from 1992 to 1998.

Brindle was arrested in 2008 after indecent images were found at his property.

Subsequent examination of the material seized led officers to investigate a number of serious sexual offences. These offences date back to the 1990s and involved a number of women from the North West of England.

Detective Inspector Stuart Ellis, from Devon & Cornwall Police, said: "Brindle worked as a taxi driver in the Pemberton area of Wigan and posed as an amateur photographer. Together with his late wife he preyed on vulnerable young women enticing them to his home under the pretence of a modelling session. It was under this guise that Brindle plied some of these women with a combination of drink and drugs which rendered them unconscious, enabling him to carry out these serious sexual assaults. Brindle subjected these women to a horrific ordeal which on some occasions he also secretly filmed and photographed.

"Brindle's victims have been living with this ordeal for the past 15 years and we should commend their bravery and courage in coming forward and bringing Brindle to justice.

"This investigation has involved painstaking work by police officers from both the Devon & Cornwall Major Crime team and our high tech crime unit who have spent many hours trawling through the material to identify and trace these women.

"While the investigation has been led by Devon & Cornwall Police, officers have been working closely with our colleagues in Greater Manchester and the CPS, to reach this conviction today."

Detective Superintendent Michele Slevin, sexual offences lead for Devon & Cornwall Police, said: "This successful result evidences the commitment the force has to all victims of rape and sexual assault and highlights the support we are able to provide victims of historic sexual offences."

castration as archaic as it is .. for the victims, it is of no benefit .. it is a single punisment rather than a punishing and a continued humiliation, which is what I had in mind, human rights for him .... he removed himself as anyone does not deserve such consideration as it was he who removed the rights.
