Couple jailed after boy 'left for dead'



A lesbian couple who stabbed a 13-year-old boy more than 20 times have been jailed for attempted murder.
Lorraine Large was jailed for nine years while Gemma McGarvie was sentenced to seven years at a young offenders' institution.

The boy, who is now 14, suffered 23 stab wounds to his chest, back and legs, and his throat had been slit.

At Lewes Crown Court on Friday, Judge Richard Brown told the pair they had committed a "cowardly and vicious attack" on a defenceless child.

Judge Brown said the defendants must both be severely punished.

He said: "The victim had done absolutely nothing to provoke the attack on him. He was barely conscious.

"Once you had begun your cowardly and vicious attack, you continued until you reached the point where as far as you were concerned, he was dead."

During the four-week trial, the jury heard Large, 22, and 18-year-old McGarvie dragged the teenager to a public green in West Sussex and set about him with a seven-inch carving knife.

Large, of Foxes Croft, Barnham, and McGarvie, of South Terrace, Littlehampton also brandished a craft knife, and left the boy for dead after a party on 15 December 2000.

Prosecutor Richard Anelay QC told the jury the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had been to a party on the night and angered the pair by being sick after drinking cider.

Leniency plea

Paramedics found him near a bench in a pool of blood.

During the trial, Large and McGarvie had blamed each other for the attack.

During her evidence, Large accused McGarvie of launching the attack, telling the jury she had said: "The little b******'s still breathing. I'm going to finish him off."

But a 16-year-old girl who went to the party told the court that Large told her how she had stabbed the teenager.

She said Large was very calm as she said: "He is dead. I have stabbed him. He's in a really bad way."

Following pre-sentence reports, McGarvie's lawyer Rock Tansey asked for leniency pointing out she was 17 at the time of the attack and had no previous history of violence to others.

He told the court: "She was immature and has specific and severe emotional problems.

'Low self-esteem'

"Gemma McGarvie was a very vulnerable person. We submit that she fell under the influence and spell of Lorraine Large who was an older young woman."

He said McGarvie "bitterly regretted" the attack and played a "lesser" part in the incident.

But speaking for Large, Paul Dunkels said it would be "dangerous and unfair" to pass responsibility of McGarvie's actions on to her.

From the pre-sentence reports, he said Large too was a "vulnerable young woman with low-self esteem".

The judge told the pair : "We do not know what was going on in your minds as neither of you had the guts to tell.

"You have both done your level best to lie your way out of the situation, which indicates to me you have no real remorse."

'Lenient' sentence for stabbing increased



A lesbian couple who stabbed a 13-year-old boy during a "sadistic" attack have had their sentences increased.
Lorraine Large, 22, was originally jailed for nine years while her co-defendant, Gemma McGarvie, 18, was sentenced to seven years detention at a young offenders' institution.

However, following a challenge by the Attorney General, the Court of Appeal in London increased Large's sentence to 11 years and McGarvie's to eight-and-a-half years.

During the original trial, Large, of Foxes Croft, Barnham, and McGarvie, of South Terrace, Littlehampton, both Sussex, had blamed each other for the attack.

Lord Justice Rose, sitting with Mr Justice Hunt and Mr Justice Keith, agreed with the Attorney General the original sentences were "unduly lenient".

The jury at Lewes Crown Court had heard that the couple had become enraged when the boy was sick after drinking cider at their "engagement" party.

The attack in December 2000 left the boy, who is now 14, with 23 stab wounds to his chest, back and legs, and his throat had been slit.

'Lenient' sentence is right, geez, 7-years detention? They hand that out for jaywalking in Texas for God sakes!

Lesbian admits kidnapping ex-lover



A jealous lesbian has admitted kidnapping her former lover at knifepoint and harassing her after she was jilted.
Lesley Hodkinson, 27, had previously denied kidnapping and harassing police officer Samantha Barker, 21, but changed her plea at Maidstone Crown Court.

Two counts of threatening to kill Miss Barker and her new lover Jacqueline Rogers were dropped.

The case has been adjourned for pre-sentence and psychiatric reports.

Hodkinson, of Jasmine Close, Chatham, Kent, threatened to "chop up" Miss Barker and drive their car off a cliff.

She said she could not cope with her former lover's new relationship with Miss Rogers.

The court heard that Hodkinson had gone to Miss Barker's home in Rochester on 8 March and dragged her into her car brandishing a six-inch kitchen knife.

She then drove down the M20 motorway to Dover and threatened to kill them both.

On Wednesday the court heard that Hodkinson had chosen to change her plea after she had seen witness statements about what she had done.

Michelle Fawcett, defending, said Hodkinson had little recollection of what had happened on the day of the abduction.

She described Hodkinson as being in a state of denial until she had seen what she had actually done.

Miss Fawcett said: "Miss Hodkinson said she could not remember exactly what happened on the 8th March or the preceding few days and it was quite clear that the offences were clearly out of character for her and she could not believe or accept what she was being accused of.

Harassment campaign

"It was when she saw the evidence that Miss Hodkinson accepted what must happen."

Miss Barker, who was in court, showed no emotion as the pleas were changed.

The court had previously heard that Hodkinson had been torn by jealousy after Miss Barker ended their two-and-a-half-year relationship to be with Miss Rogers.

Simon Russell Flint, prosecuting, said Hodkinson had instigated a "campaign of harassment" against Miss Barker, culminating in the abduction.

Judge Anthony Balston agreed that psychiatric reports were needed for sentencing to be passed on 31 August

Here she is...Miss lesbian psycho (to the Miss America tune)

'Wren seduced me' says corporal


A female RAF corporal accused of indecent assault has told a court martial that she was the victim rather than the instigator of a lesbian seduction.
Corporal Rose McLaughlin is alleged to have indecently assaulted a 25-year-old Wren during a staff Christmas party at Chequers in Buckinghamshire - Tony Blair's country retreat.

The Wren claims Cpl McLaughlin, 35, kissed her, pinned her against a bedroom wall and indecently assaulted her in the staff quarters of the mansion.

Cherie Blair, the prime minister's wife, wrote a letter supporting the corporal, the hearing heard.

Cpl McLaughlin denies the charge and told the hearing at RAF Halton in Buckinghamshire she was left disgusted and dismayed by the Wren's advances.

The corporal told the court martial that she admitted knocking on the rating's door dressed only in her underwear and having been drinking heavily all day.

She said she was upset and wanted to talk about her own suspected pregnancy.

She said: "My head was in my arms because I was crying.

"When I was sitting there she was getting ready for bed.

'Comfort to intimacy'

"I sat up to go and she said come here she wanted to give me a cuddle.

"She had her arms around me - it was not a girlie embrace like one from your sister.

"She was playing with my hair, her cheek was on my cheek - It felt yuk. It truly went from comfort to intimacy.

"I flinched and pushed her to move her hand off me - I was disgusted and dismayed."

People skills

A statement from the Prime Minister's wife, Cherie Blair read to the court on behalf of Corporal McLaughlin said: "We are deeply upset by her absence.

"She has very good people skills and is able to manage a team. She gets on well with our children and has a very special relationship with my mother.

"She can clearly get on with people of all ages. She has accompanied us to church on a number of occasions and we regard her as a friend as much as a member of Chequers staff.

"We are sure she has a lot to offer the RAF."

The hearing continues

I'm sorry, but this is a very bad time for this thread and it would probably be best if it stoped now.

Most of you probably know the reason but for those who don't:

Two 11 year old girls went missing 2 weeks ago. Their bodies have just been found. They were probably murdered by their school caretaker and his girlfriend.

The entire country is in mourning and I just feel that this thread is in poor taste at present.

And yes, all these stories are coming from England, if only they were not.

Not everyone here lives in the UK, so get over yourselves, the mood is different in different countries right now.

 

[Frimost]

Did she just say that?

Mrs Lalley told the hearing that in one exchange in a sitting room at Chequers, Cpl McLaughlin said: "Yes, I remember the breasts, however I refute the rest."

Now come on, That is lighter in tone! lol

Please understand I am not usympathetic. Any crime against kids is an obscenity. By the same token, as a Yank, I have become so sick of hearing folks from other countries blow off similar things in the U.S. with a flippancy that defies belief, implying a superior sense of morality, or at least a depravity on the part of the U.S. that my perspective is somewhat limited at this stage.

 

[Lost Cause]

Where'd you get these stories?

Out of the UK Lesbian Times? The seduction story got me aroused, ooh la la! What I didn't get from the stabbing story is they didn't label it...ie "hate crime." I'm not sure if they have such twisted laws over there like we have here. It seems the UK doesn't sway toward the whiners as much as in the US, but then again, subjects are to stay in line!

 

[Frimost]

Personally I live in the US, so I don't know what the mood is like in the streets of Britain, whether they are still focusing on the crime or whether they have moved on to other stuff by now. It was not intentional, however, I do not seem to remember any sympathy from many of our foreign "friends" here after 9/11, how many of them wanted to analyze and rationalize away the attacks by saying we somehow brought it down upon ourselves. These only days or even hours after it happened, and that was about 3,800 deaths to you’re two...

yeah, this one is a little hot, I have to admit

Woman corporal denies indecent assault


An RAF corporal confessed to the Prime Minister's housekeeper at Chequers to touching a young naval rating's breasts, a court martial has heard.
Corporal Rose McLaughlin, 35, is alleged to have indecently assaulted the 25-year-old wren during a staff Christmas party at Tony Blair's country retreat in Buckinghamshire.

Cpl McLaughlin, appearing before a court martial at RAF Halton, Buckinghamshire, on Wednesday, denies the charge.

Housekeeper Linda Lalley told the court martial that Cpl McLaughlin admitted "misreading the signs" when she visited the Wren, who was dressed in her underwear after the party, in her room.

'Misread the signs'

Cpl McLaughlin, a cook, told Mrs Lalley her version of events after the incident on 18 December last year.

Mrs Lalley told the hearing that in one exchange in a sitting room at Chequers, Cpl McLaughlin said: "Yes, I remember the breasts, however I refute the rest."

Mrs Lalley said Cpl McLaughlin told her she went into the Wren's room.

She went on: "Rose said she misread the signs and basically attempted to embrace her back.

"She said that she did touch her breasts and there was a struggle and that she may have touched further but she didn't agree with the hand down the pants or being forced out of the room and grabbing her leg."

Mrs Lalley said the inquiry was being conducted against a background of preparations for a state visit.

Cpl McLaughlin "confessed" in an earlier meeting four days after the incident, while Mrs Lalley was preparing dinner for Mr Blair.

Cpl McLaughlin allegedly told her: "I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, I can't believe I did it.

'Kissed Wren'

"I can't really remember what I did. All I remember is that I was out of order."

Mrs Lalley said Cpl McLaughlin had said she had probably ruined the Wren's life and said: "I've had it now, I've just confessed to you."

Mrs Lalley, a long-standing employee at Chequers, said that during the party the "extrovert" Cpl McLaughlin had kissed the Wren, to her embarrassment, in front of all the other guests to thank her for finding a number on her mobile phone.

Mrs Lalley said: "It was more than a peck but it wasn't a full-blown passionate kiss.

"The Wren looked a bit awkward about this so I said in a joking manner to help her out `stop snogging you two'."

The hearing continues.
