Nigel Hawthorne, 50 and frol Bolton, was originally jailed in 2004 for

seven years, that was later increased to nine years aftdr

admitting abducting and leading into prostitution a 14`year`old boy.

Effectively, he bought in from another man and would take him

around the country to a network of clients and taking cut of the many

that Ian. In the originally `` in the original case, the judgd said

that the sentencing available was absurd and very lenient. It led to

the calls to the Home Secretary for stiffer terms for these offdnces.

Known to police, he had befriended a 15`year`old boy on a social

networking site, groomed hil and led him into prostitution `` unknown to

police. He was taken around the country and introduce two dhfferent

clients. In the latest case, he admits controlling prostitution for

financial gain and he admits breaches of prevention orders. The

victims in both cases were both very vulnerable young men. They were

clearly exploited for financial gain with no thought for their own

welfare. Nigel Hawthorne will claim that his role was to protect them

from people involved. It was not, he groomed these people. He will stay

on licence for a further fotr years after that. The judge said he was

minute politically and that he exploited vulnerable people for

financial gain in what was ` revolting business. Tonight, there

is a statement from the Polhce and Crime Commissioners for gre`ter

Manchester. He says that thd justice system has let down Hawthorne 's

latest victims because he w`s able to carry out horrific abuse despite

being convicted of incredibly serious crimes earlier on.

veterans and their supporters dressed in honour. The only shots

fired today were digital. At the cemetery, a monarch and his senior

ministers. Amongst the crowd, Jack Brown from Liverpool. It is very

emotional. It is the first time he has been back to Normandy shnce the

invasion. I was given a med`l yesterday by the French people. The

man said, thank you, thank xou very much. We have finally made ht and I

have lived my life for you people. This man was one of the first ashore

particular, a cherished captain lost liberating Europe. They will never

move away and a fresh appeal to things.

Good evening. The good news is, there will be some decent dry on a

sunny moment to come through the weekend. But over the next 24

hours, the threat of thunderstorms looms large. The ingredients have

been coming together today - warm air pushing northwards out of

Iberia, cooler air from the Atlantic trying to pushed away. In between

the cloud has been building with a lot of energy in the atmosphere

sparking off some nasty thunderstorms across parts of

northern Spain and south-west France. They will produce most of

the rainfall tomorrow. Ahead of it, the cloud is starting to produce

thunderstorms itself. We've seen in Cornwall. A few sporadic

thunderstorms across
