A CONVICTED child rapist was locked up for four years after attempting to meet a 13-year-old girl for sex just seven months after his release from a 12 year prison sentence. Judge Jonathan Rose agreed with a probation officer and a psychiatrist that Daniel Schofield was a high risk of causing serious harm to children and gave him an 11 year extended sentence. Schofield, 33, of Lynfield Drive, Heaton, Bradford, was jailed on a video link to HMP Leeds after being recalled to prison until June, 2026.
A member of a burglary gang that raided cash, property and a car to the value of £23,000 from a family home was today jailed for three years. Liam Sherriff climbed through a window at the unoccupied country home near Bingley and let his accomplices in with the house keys, Bradford Crown Court heard. The gang made an untidy search of every room while the couple and their baby were out for a drive on the afternoon of May 10 last year, prosecutor Hannah Walker said. The family returned to find their Vauxhall Corsa gone, along with £700 in cash, jewellery, laptop computers, bank cards, tools and electronic equipment.
A THUG who made a police officer fear for his life was jailed on Tuesday for 27 months. Christopher Ward, 32, raced off as Alasdair Zasada, 31, clung on to his car in Glasgow’s Carmyle on July 27 2019. The constable later remarked: “I had the genuine and honest held belief that my life was in danger.”
