Paedophile Colin Blanchard has been referred to the Parole Board to be considered for release after serving nine years in prison for running 'one of the most sickening paedophile rings this country has seen'.
Blanchard, 51, previously of Smithy Bridge, was given an indeterminate sentence in 2011 for child sex abuse charges and told he must serve a minimum of nine years in jail.
The leader of a paedophile ring, Blanchard had exchanged images with Tracy Lyons, of Portsmouth; Tracy Dawber, of Southport; Angela Allen, of Nottingham, and Vanessa George, of Plymouth.
