LUKE PATTON FROM WIRRAL SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL OFFENSES AND VIOLENT ATTACKS

In a case that has shocked the local community, Luke Patten, a 19-year-old resident of Wirral, was handed a substantial prison sentence after being convicted of multiple serious crimes. The judge overseeing the case described Patten as 'morally bankrupt,' highlighting the severity and depravity of his actions.

In November 2015, Patten was sentenced to four and a half years behind bars after he was found guilty of filming himself engaging in sexual activity with a schoolgirl and subsequently distributing the video online. This act not only violated the victim’s privacy but also contributed to the wider issue of online exploitation and the dangers of sharing explicit material.

The court proceedings revealed that Patten’s criminal record was extensive, with multiple previous convictions that underscored a pattern of troubling behavior. His history was further complicated by ongoing issues with alcohol and drug abuse, which the court noted as factors that may have influenced his conduct.

Adding to the gravity of his criminal profile, Patten was also involved in an unrelated violent incident where he attacked a man, leaving him for dead. During this assault, Patten stamped on the victim’s head and made threats against the victim’s family members. Shockingly, after the attack, Patten engaged in sexual activity with his girlfriend at the scene, demonstrating a disturbing lack of remorse and a blatant disregard for human life and dignity.

The judge emphasized the seriousness of Patten’s offenses, condemning his actions and the apparent absence of remorse. The sentencing reflects the court’s stance on the importance of protecting the community from individuals who commit such heinous acts, especially those with a history of violent and sexual crimes. The case has once again brought attention to issues surrounding youth crime, online exploitation, and violent behavior in the Wirral area.
