📢 Shocking News: Notorious Sex Offender Dies in Jail 📢
Barry Ford, infamous for his horrific crimes, has passed away while serving an 18-year sentence. Alongside his son, Craig McKellar, Ford committed a series of sex attacks dating back to the 1980s. Both were former charity shop workers from Colwyn Bay, who shockingly took advantage of their positions to prey on vulnerable children and women.
In 2012, Ford, then 64, was convicted of six counts of rape and ten of sexual assault. His son, influenced by his father’s twisted ways, was sentenced to 10 years for multiple counts of rape and assault. The heinous actions of this father-son duo left many victims traumatised.
Despite receiving complaints during the 80s and 90s, police failed to prosecute Ford at the time. It wasn’t until 2011 when brave victims stepped forward, leading to the arrest and conviction of the pair.
Ford died of natural causes in HMP Littlehey last August at 77 years old. A report by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman highlighted that he received suitable medical care and end-of-life support during his time in prison.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the courage of victims who come forward and the importance of bringing offenders to justice. Stay informed and help protect those around you.
