Success Stories

In Nov. 05 Khokar was found guilty of offences and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. On 15th August, 2007 Barrington Taylor was convicted by jury of two counts of robbery and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Judge Roger Keen gave an undetermined sentence of imprisonment for the protection of the public (in particular prostitutes). He will serve a minimum of eight years before he is eligible for parole.

Theses offences were committed by Barrington against a sex worker whilst she was working the beat in Sheffield in February 2006. The remaining two were committed against a man who was on the beat keeping an eye on his partner at work.

This result is a fantastic achievement to this brave and courageous woman who has stood up in court against him now on three separate occasions in order to be given the justice she deserves.
