Between August 14 and September 6, 2023, Colin Roberts, 74, of School Hill in Heswall, repeatedly peered through the front door window of a couple's home, viewing them relaxing in their living room in underwear around 10.25pm. The acts were captured on CCTV eight times.

He has three previous convictions for 17 offences, some sexual in nature, last around 20 years ago.

She claimed it was commonplace among staff and she assumed consent as she felt poorly.

Stewart Hanson sent an offensive email in October 2018 to Labour MP Naseem Shah, accusing her of anti-Semitism and attempting to silence victims of the Rotherham child abuse scandal.

He was arrested at his home in Tranmere and had no previous convictions.

Jessica Coffey neglected and starved a two-year-old cob named Texas, leaving him emaciated in a muddy and inadequate field on Brimstage Road, Heswall, on or around January 2, 2018.

Another horse, Spice, was kept in similar conditions but was in better health and is now recovering at a welfare centre.
