New Moston Rapist
In a case that has shocked the local community, Anthony Heapy, a 48-year-old man from New Moston, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison after being found guilty of serious sexual offenses involving a schoolgirl. The conviction came after a thorough investigation and a trial at Bolton Crown Court, where the court heard disturbing details about the crimes committed by Heapy.
Heapy was charged with two counts of rape and nine counts of sexual assault, all involving a young girl who was a student at a local school. The case was brought to light when the victim confided in her school authorities about the abuse she had endured. This crucial information led to a police investigation that ultimately resulted in Heapy’s arrest and subsequent prosecution.
In addition to these charges, Heapy was convicted of a separate, historic indecent assault on another girl, which added to the severity of his sentencing. The court was informed that many of these offenses took place while Heapy was under the influence of alcohol, which he reportedly consumed at the time of the incidents.
Judge William Morris presided over the case and delivered a stern sentence, emphasizing the lasting impact of Heapy’s actions. He stated, “Your victims will bear the mental scars of what you did,” highlighting the profound and enduring trauma inflicted upon the victims. The judge also imposed additional restrictions on Heapy, including a ban from working with children and a requirement to register as a sex offender, ensuring he remains under supervision to prevent further harm.
This case underscores the importance of vigilance and the need for communities to protect vulnerable individuals from predatory behavior. The sentencing serves as a stark reminder of the serious consequences faced by those who commit such heinous acts, and it brings some measure of justice to the victims involved.
