Barrow Sexual Abuser
In a harrowing case that has shocked the community of Barrow, a man named Callum Crowe has been handed a severe prison sentence of 14 years following a brutal assault on an eight-week-old baby. The incident, which took place in late 2016, resulted in devastating injuries that have left the young child with permanent, life-altering damage.
Callum Crowe, aged 23 and residing on Richmond Terrace in Barrow, was convicted of serious charges including Section 18 grievous bodily harm (GBH) and child neglect. The verdict was delivered at Preston Crown Court after Crowe was found guilty in an earlier trial of the offences linked to the assault. The court heard that the attack inflicted multiple fractures to the baby's skull, along with extensive bleeding on the brain and facial bruising, injuries that have caused irreversible harm.
The victim, whose identity remains protected due to his age, now faces a future marked by significant medical challenges. Medical experts testified that the injuries have resulted in permanent brain damage, and the child is highly likely to develop epilepsy as a consequence of the assault. The severity of the injuries underscores the tragic impact of the attack on the infant's health and well-being.
In addition to Crowe's sentencing, the court also considered the case of Abigail Louise Wood, aged 23, who was involved in the incident. Earlier this month, Wood received a nine-month prison sentence, which was suspended for 18 months, reflecting her lesser role in the events. The court's decision highlights the gravity of the crime committed and the lasting consequences for the young victim and his family.
This case has drawn significant attention within the community of Barrow, raising concerns about child safety and the importance of safeguarding vulnerable children from harm. The sentencing serves as a stark reminder of the devastating effects that violence and neglect can have on the most innocent members of society.
