with Christine participating throughout.’

The court heard the victim made a complaint to the police. In a victim statement, she said she

felt damaged

and couldn’t move on. Paul Leon – who has a previous conviction for sexually abusing children in the 1980s

and 1990s – was jailed for 15 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court. He was placed on the Sex Offenders’

Register for 10 years

Judge David Fletcher told the victim: ‘Whatever I do today and however I deal with the two defendants there

is nothing that I can do to right the wrongs that have been perpetrated against you and I apologize for that.

‘Your voice has been heard in these proceedings.’ The judge told the defendants:

‘You two were thinking completely and only of your own sexual satisfaction.

‘You behaved in a way that is appalling.’ Robert Cowley, mitigating for Paul Leon,

who admitted the offenses, conceded his client faced an immediate jail sentence. He said:

‘When he is released he will have no home, no job, and no family. His relationship with his wife is now over.

‘He does not enjoy the best of health. He had a stroke.’

Christine Leon, of Bentilee, pleaded guilty to the charge against her. She was given a two-year community

order for aiding and abetting her husband to commit a sexual offense.

Her barrister Hamish Noble said it was an isolated offense, adding:

‘Her actions were entirely improper.’ The community order includes a 30-day rehabilitation activity

requirement and a six-month mental health treatment requirement.
