A Keswick man who sexually abused two school-age boys in the 1970s has been jailed for six years following a police investigation.

Keith Taylor, aged 66, of Crow Park Road, was sentenced today (5 November) at Carlisle Crown Court for two indecent assaults on a boy, an act of gross indecency with a boy and a serious sexual offence against a boy.

An investigation was launched after two people spoke with police about what had occurred to them between 1974 and 1979.

Taylor had initially denied all charges against him, however in April 2025 he pleaded guilty to offences committed against one of the victims.

Following a trial in August, a jury found him guilty of the offences committed against the second individual.

Detective Constable Kerry Moynan said:

“Firstly I would like to praise the bravery of both people who came forward and told us what had happened to them.

“Keith Taylor initially denied all offences and continued his denial of the offences committed against the younger of the two victims, leading to a trial where a jury has found him guilty.

“Taylor’s actions were despicable, he knew what he had done was wrong and he has now been brought to justice.

“I hope the case demonstrates to the public how seriously such offending is taken and that any accusations of sexual offending against children in Cumbria will be investigated thoroughly and those responsible held accountable.

“Finally, I would like to urge anyone who has been the victim of abuse – whether recent or non-recent to come forward today. You will be listened to, supported and offences will be investigated with sensitivity and professionalism.”

A monstrous double rapist who attacked two vulnerable women has been jailed for 20 years.

Daniel Hart, 29, raped the victims in one night in May, with police labelling him "despicable."

Hart first entered the home of a woman in her 70s with dementia in Poole, Dorset, during the night of May 14/15 this year. He dragged her into the bedroom and raped her.

Police were called at 5:15am and identified Hart via DNA left at the scene.

Before officers could apprehend him, Hart targeted a second victim, a woman in her 40s with disabilities. He approached her outside her flat, pushed her inside, and raped her.

Police were called at about 2pm on May 15 and found Hart nearby. He fled but was chased back to the flat, where he jumped through the lounge window.

Hart was arrested after the second victim confirmed his identity.

He was charged with both rapes, pleaded guilty at Bournemouth Crown Court on November 3, and was sentenced to 20 years.

Detective Inspector Jon Sainsbury, of Bournemouth CID, said:

"Daniel Hart's horrific offending saw him rape two vulnerable women in their own homes.

"Thanks to the swift response from officers on the day and a thorough and determined investigation by detectives afterwards, we were able to hold him to account for his despicable crimes.

"When it became apparent both matters involved the same suspect, Detective Constable Hele Leech-Wilkinson and Detective Constable Chloe Roaf worked diligently together to build the case against Hart and ensure he faced justice.

"Our officers will continue to support victims of rape and sexual offences and are absolutely committed to identifying those responsible and taking robust action against them."

A man who raped two women has been jailed for 16 years.

Lee Bailey, of Alvanley Road, Great Sutton, Ellesmere Port, was handed the sentence at Chester Crown Court on Friday 31 October 2025.

The 33-year-old had been found guilty of rape, attempted rape, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm against one victim. He was also convicted of rape and controlling and coercive behaviour against another victim.

In February 2021, a woman made a report of harassment against Bailey, which resulted in him being made subject to a Non-Molestation Order.

At the time, she also made a disclosure of rape but did not feel able to pursue a formal complaint at the time.

In August 2022, a second woman told police Bailey had raped and assaulted her. She stated Bailey had raped her when she could not consent after drinking alcohol on a night out and had stamped on her head.

Bailey was interviewed and denied the offences but did confirm that the victim was not able to consent due to her level of intoxication.

He was bailed with strict conditions not to have any contact with the victim but breached this within days. The victim told police Bailey had tried to coerce her into retracting her statement.

While this investigation was ongoing, the first victim contacted police and said Bailey had breached the Non-Molestation Order against him, and she now wished to pursue her complaint of rape.

In January 2023, she re-disclosed the rape offence and said he had also coerced her into having sex and even forced her to get out of a vehicle at night down a country lane without a mobile phone. He was later convicted of breaching the Non-Molestation Order.

Following a thorough investigation, he was served with a postal requisition to attend court to face charges in June 2024.

Bailey then failed to attend a hearing relating to the case in March 2025 and following his subsequent arrest was remanded until trial.

He was found guilty following a nine-day trial at Chester Crown Court in September 2025.

Detective Constable Abi Axon said:

“Firstly, I would like to acknowledge the bravery of the victims in this case who not only had the courage to report and speak about what had happened to them but also had to go through the stress of a trial.

“This significant custodial sentence is thanks to them, and I hope this gives them some closure, knowing that Bailey is now behind bars where he cannot do this to anyone else.

“Bailey is clearly a danger to women, and has no regard for the welfare of others, instead focusing on his own sexual desires, no matter the consequences. He even stated in interview he understood that someone who is intoxicated cannot consent but then went on to deny doing anything wrong.

“Thankfully, the jury saw through his lies, and he is now serving a lengthy custodial sentence.

“If anyone wishes to report a sexual offence, you can do so by calling us on 101, or please visit our website where you can find all the details you need to report it online.”

A man from Swansea has been jailed after committing child sex offences.

Mohammed Raihan, aged 22, from Swansea city centre, committed several sexual offences against a teenage victim in July 2024.

Raihan later contacted the victim to threaten her to drop the proceedings and her complaint against him.

Raihan pleaded not guilty to all charges but on June 30 he was found guilty of:

• two counts of rape a girl aged 13 / 14 / 15
• one count of sexual assault on a female
• one count of intimidate a witness / juror
• one count of make indecent photograph / pseudo-photograph of a child (Cat A)
• one count of make indecent photograph / pseudo-photograph of a child (Cat B)
• one count of make indecent photograph / pseudo-photograph of a child (Cat C)

He was remanded into custody and on November 4, he was sentenced at Swansea Crown Court to 15 years in prison.

Detective Constable Mark Wells said:

“It is critical at this time is to recognise the courage of the young victim in this investigation. My hope is that they are able to move forward from this in a positive way and gain some form of closure.

"This investigation was complex and protracted and I would like to thank the diverse team of investigators and detectives that have dedicated their time to diligently progress the investigation. It is also important to recognise the hard work of partner agencies in supporting this young victim along the way.

“During his trial Mohammed Raihan demonstrated no regret or remorse but recognised that the victim was vulnerable. The fact that he went on to exploit these vulnerabilities in the worst possible way, is hard to comprehend.

“If you experience a crime of this kind, we urge you to report it to the police as soon as possible. You will be supported, and officers will treat all reports with sensitivity and professionalism.”

“The woman in this case did something incredibly brave by speaking to the police – her actions have ultimately led to this sentence.”

Officers have praised the bravery of a woman reporting she was raped as her attacker was sentenced to 14 years in prison.

Daniel Oldfield, 48, of no fixed abode, attacked his victim in her own home in April 2022.

On the night of 2 April, Oldfield had been sleeping elsewhere in the property but entered the woman’s bedroom and attacked her, injuring her hand and holding her by the neck before leaving the room.

Later the same evening he attacked the woman again, as she slept, raping and sexually assaulting her.

He was charged and remanded in custody from November 2022, and following a two-week trial, a jury at Ipswich Crown Court found Oldfield guilty of rape and sexual assault by penetration by majority verdict 11-1 in August 2024.

He has now been jailed for 14 years and given an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order following a hearing at the same court on 30 October 2025.

Description

Fawaz Alsamaou, 33, from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, has been jailed for sexually assaulting a woman in Cathays, Cardiff.

The woman was walking from the city centre during the early hours of Sunday, May 12, 2024 when she became aware of a man walking behind her.

She was then sexually assaulted under the railway bridge close to Senghenydd Hall.

Extensive enquiries were conducted and Alsamaou was identified as a suspect following a CCTV appeal for information on BBC Crimewatch.

In a Victim Personal Statement to the court, the woman, now aged 24, described the impact of the crime.

“The attack that happened on me has had a lasting effect on me to this day and I still think about it every day. Now I feel that I am looking over my shoulder more and always thinking the worst. I don’t feel safe going anywhere by myself and still I don’t feel safe now when it is dark outside.

“I want the male responsible for the attack to serve justice. Not only so I can have closure from the incident but to ensure that this doesn’t happen to any other females in the future.”

Alsamaou was convicted and sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court today to three years and one month in prison for the sexual assault and 16 months concurrent for intentional strangulation.

Detective Sergeant Alex Lloyd, from South Wales Police, said:

“Everyone has the right to feel safe, any time of day, wherever they are, and South Wales Police does everything possible to ensure people feel safe when going about their everyday business.

“We hope today’s sentencing gives the victim the closure that she has been seeking.

“Stranger incidents like that are very unusual, but when they do happen, we use all available policing methods, including media appeals for information, to bring offenders to justice.

“We would like to acknowledge the bravery of the victim in speaking out and thank BBC Crimewatch for their assistance.”

Description

A man who waged a "campaign" of rape against a primary-school-aged boy shouted abuse in court as he was sentenced to a 23-year extended term as a dangerous offender.

Judge Celia Hughes described Mark Cain's offenses as the "calculating actions of a predatory man" and deemed an extended sentence essential to protect the public.

Cardiff Crown Court heard that Cain, a warehouse worker, raped the child under 13 multiple times—representing at least 22 incidents—in the Vale of Glamorgan over a prolonged period, and forced him to view pornographic materials. The abuse, unreported at the time, surfaced years later during a routine medical appointment.

Cain denied the allegations but was convicted by a jury of four counts of child rape and causing a child to watch a sexual act.

In a victim impact statement read by prosecutor Matthew Cobbe, the complainant said he had long suppressed the memories but felt people "could see through me." He described a "hole in the person" he became as an adult, feeling Cain's abuse had "taken some masculinity" away, yet he felt proud for reporting it, gaining a "healthier mindset" through the process.

Mark Anthony Cain, 38, of Morden Road, Newport, had eight prior convictions for 22 offenses, including indecent assault of a girl, sexual assault of a woman (grabbing a shop worker's breasts), and robbery.

Defense barrister Heath Edwards acknowledged a "life-changingly long" sentence was inevitable. He noted Cain's pre-trial relationship and efforts to address drink and drug issues, and despite rejecting the verdicts "categorically," Cain would engage with prison courses.

The judge said Cain had

"regularly abused and degraded [the victim] at your will." Finding him dangerous "both in the legal meaning and in the ordinary sense," she imposed the sentence amid Cain's outbursts calling the case "bullsh*t."

The 23-year term includes 20 years' custody followed by three years' license; Cain must serve two-thirds before parole consideration. He is a lifelong registered sex offender with an indefinite sexual harm prevention order restricting child access.

South Wales Police detective constable Ameila Lewis said post-sentencing: "The victim has shown immense bravery throughout. I hope that the outcome at court brings them some comfort that the offender has been brought to justice and that their bravery has helped protect the wider public from harm."

Description

An 80-year-old man from Tewkesbury has been jailed for 17 years for child sexual abuse offences which he committed around 30 years ago.

Michael Thomas Davies, of Knights Way, was sentenced at Swindon Crown Court today, Thursday 16 October.

Following a four-day trial at Gloucester Crown Court in September, a jury unanimously found him guilty of one count of rape and four counts of indecent assault. 

The court heard that Davies sexually assaulted the child on a number of occasions and raped the same child on a separate occasion. 

When sentencing Davies, His Honour Judge James Townsend said:

"I have to sentence you following the conviction of these offences at trial for the most appalling sexual assault of a young teenage girl.

"The abuse started with sexual touching over and under clothing, progressing to penetration and finally rape.

"It's only through the courage from your victim in coming forward that you finally face justice, and I pay tribute to her for that.

"The harrowing victim impact statement which I've read and has been read in court shows the devastating effect that these events have had upon her.

"One of the tragic consequences of offending of this sort is it makes the entirely innocent feel profoundly guilty."

As well as being sentenced to 17 years in prison, which Davies must serve at least two thirds of, he will be ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register on his release. He was also given an indefinite restraining order to protect the victim.

A statement from the victim was read to the court on her behalf in which she said she had made numerous attempts to end her life.

She said:

"My name is [name removed] and I was sexually abused as a child. Although it may sound horrific, it is a relief that I can now say that.

"For 30 years I have been trying to understand why I felt like I did, why I couldn't concentrate at school, college and university. Why I hated the way I looked and made bad choices in relationships.

"Although I told people about the abuse, I never felt I would be believed.

"In many respects my life stopped at the point of the abuse, I have remained a child and have never been able to move on. The world kept spinning but I struggled to continue with my life.

"I couldn't focus on my education; I failed my GCSEs; struggled through college and dropped out of university. I was carrying his dark secret that took all my energy. I often wonder what I might have achieved if this had not happened.

"There have been numerous occasions where I have attempted to end my life, because I couldn't cope with what happened to me.

"I don't want anyone to feel as alone as I did all these years, for so long I have lived in the past. I want to escape the torture in my mind, I want to run away from it, but I cannot. I feel weak and guilty, I can never be anything.

"Over the years daily tasks have become impossible due to anxiety and fear. During periods of my life I have been unable to work. I then had the constant worry about money and loss of earnings, and so a vicious cycle ensued.

"I wish I had the strength, encouragement and support to seek justice years ago, instead of suffering alone. Having finally decided to go through the process I have to say it has been very stressful and I was extremely anxious in the time leading up to the trial. For 30 years I have been wondering if anyone would believe me."

Judge Townsend told the court that the abuse by Davies resulted in severe psychological suffering for the victim.

He thanked the victim and her mother for attending court and said:

"I can only hope that the conclusion of these proceedings will help to some extent in helping to reduce the extent of the suffering you’ve undergone over all of these years."

Davies had been charged with the offences after an investigation by Gloucestershire Police's Criminal Investigation Department.

He denied the allegations throughout the investigation and trial, and was convicted by a jury on 25 September. 

His defence barrister told the court during sentencing that Davies is "at heart a good man" and asked the judge to take mercy on him due to his age. He also said that Davies was frightened of spending his last years in prison. 

Investigating officer Detective Constable Emma Smith said:

"The victim in this case has been incredibly brave and I would like to thank her for her perseverance and courage in reporting what Davies did to her.

"When he was aged in his 50s he groomed her over a period of time, raped her and repeatedly sexually abused the victim when she was a child.

"Davies committed the offences around 30 years ago and this conviction shows that sexual abuse, no matter how recent or not, can still be investigated and perpetrators can have their day in court and face justice.

"The victim had contacted the police in the past but felt at that time she was not able to proceed with the prosecution. However, in 2022 she decided she wanted the investigation to go ahead and the case was reopened with Davies subsequently being charged.

"This case shows that you can report incidents or choose to proceed with a prosecution at a time when you want to and feel comfortable in doing so. It is about victims and survivors having a choice."

Description

A 21-year-old man who raped a woman as she slept has been jailed for nine years after a jury unanimously found him guilty following a trial.

Kian Westcarr was jailed on Friday 24 October at Gloucester Crown Court for one count of rape, which he committed in 2022.

During a trial in August this year, the jury was told that the victim woke up to Westcarr raping her.

She reported the incident to Gloucestershire Police and officers arrested him that day. 

During police interview Westcarr, of Evenlode Road in Tuffley, Gloucester said that the woman was awake and that they had had consensual sex.

Following an investigation by the Rape and Serious Sexual Offences team, the Crown Prosecution Service authorised a charge of rape.

Sentencing Westcarr, Mr Recorder Donald Tait said: "You took advantage of the victim. She thought she was safe [with you], she obviously was not."

A statement written by the victim was read to the court in which she described how she had made two attempts to end her life after Westcarr raped her.

She added:

"I cannot remember some parts of the days immediately after the assault. My brain has blocked them out, perhaps to protect me. But the emotions remain: fear; grief; anger; and a deep sense of being robbed of who I used to be.

"This crime has taken so much from me: my trust; my peace of mind; my sense of safety in the world. It has coloured every decision, every relationship, every plan for the future. It has affected my education, my friendships and my mental health.

"I am trying to rebuild my life. Coming to court and seeing the process through has given me a small amount of hope that justice can help me move forward. But I know I will never be completely free of what happened. The memories and the scars, both physical and emotional, will always be part of me.

"I hope that the sentence given reflects not only the seriousness of what was done to me, but also the lifelong impact it has had. I want to be able to move forward, to regain my confidence, and to learn to trust again. More than anything, I want to live without the constant shadow of this crime hanging over me."

In mitigation Westcarr's defence barrister said that Westcarr was a polite and respectful young man with potential, and that he had made a decision that was entirely wrong and one he will very much regret. 

In sentencing Westcarr to nine years in prison, Recorder Tait said:

"You have no previous convictions, had a job and were well thought of. I agree that before you did this you were of positive good character, but I have a public duty to perform.

"Bearing in mind the messages you sent afterwards, you chose to fight the case and the victim had to give evidence and go through the ordeal of the trial.

"If you had accepted responsibility she would not have had to have done that. You get no credit for admissions, despite admitting it to her afterwards.

"Only a significant sentence is appropriate due to the effect this has had on the victim."

Investigating officer Detective Constable Laura Davies said:

"The victim in this case has carried herself with incredible courage and dignity throughout the investigation and trial process, and I would like to thank her for her bravery in reporting what Westcarr did to her.

"He has refused to accept responsibility for his actions and has shown no remorse.

"The victim has shown great determination during a lengthy process despite the devastating effect Westcarr's actions had on her. Her unwavering commitment has resulted in him receiving a lengthy custodial sentence.

"Our Rape and Serious Sexual Offences team are committed to investigating these horrendous crimes and bringing offenders to justice. I hope this result and sentence will encourage other victims who have been subjected to sexual abuse and violence to come forward."

Description

A 20-year-old man who manipulated children into sending him intimate images and videos of themselves has been sentenced.

Tyler Allen, who was aged 17 and 18 when he committed the offences, threatened to kill and rape one of the girls when she refused to do what he demanded.

Following an investigation by Gloucestershire Police's Child Exploitation Team he was charged with 10 offences which related to five girls.

On 9 July this year Allen, of Vicarage Court in Brockworth, pleaded guilty to six counts of causing/inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, two charges of causing a child to watch a sexual act and two charges of engaging in sexual communication with a child. 

Allen was sentenced at Gloucester Crown Court yesterday (Thursday 30 October) to 22 months detention in a young offenders' institution and he was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years.

The court was told that Allen's offending followed a common pattern of him manipulating conversations with girls online to become sexual in nature.

He would then ask the children to send him naked photos and videos of themselves, including of them masturbating, and he would respond with images of his penis and videos of him masturbating.

The court was told that when he was met with resistance from the girls, he used emotional manipulation by saying he loved them or that he would harm himself if they did not comply.

Allen was aged 17 in 2023 when he was speaking online to a girl whom he knew was aged 12. They had met on an online platform and then communicated over SnapChat and text.

He asked her to send him images and videos, and Allen said that he wanted to buy her a train ticket for her 13th birthday so that they could meet in person. The girl made an excuse to not meet him, and he then threatened to rape and kill her. 

Police were informed and Allen was arrested and his digital devices were seized for examination and an investigation began. He provided no comment in interview.

With one 15-year-old girl he demanded images and then threatened to post them on social media platforms if she did not supply more. The court heard how she was really scared and so she sent Allen more images.

Other charges relate to online contact with children aged between 12 and 15.

Allen was rearrested and it was found that he had breached his bail conditions which prohibited him from having unsupervised contact with anyone aged under 18.

In his mitigation, Allen's defence barrister said that he was introverted and that he was not looking for young girls online but he was on the platforms for friendship. 

It was said that he accepted what he had done and that he regrets it, and Allen accepted that he would have harmed the girls by the pressure he put upon them. 

In sentencing Allen, Judge Rupert Lowe spoke to him and said Allen’s offending "does suggest you are a young man with a very serious ongoing problem and a very significant lack of control in the way you behave, with little knowledge of what your problem is".

Judge Lowe added:

"I have to sentence you today for 10 offences involving sexual communications with girls between 12 and 15 years old, which involved inciting them to take sexualised photos and videos of themselves masturbating, or revealing their private parts, and in which you sent images of yourself doing the same sort of things, including ejaculating.

"During the course of communications you used emotional manipulation in that if they seemed to not want to do what you wanted, by telling them you loved them, and that you would not love them if they did not do X, Y and Z.

"Then using threats if that appeared to you to be more effective. To harm themselves or them if they did not do what you asked, even including threats to rape and kill the first of these victims.

"I am not suggesting you ever would, but that is a very nasty threat to make to a 12-year-old girl.

"You also threatened to distribute some of the images which you had obtained from these girls. In one case in particular, using that as a lever to get her to send more indecent images of herself."

Investigating officer, Police Staff Investigator Amber Jones said:

"Allen cruelly manipulated and exploited children for his own sexual gratification.

"I welcome the Sexual Harm Prevention Order which has been granted which puts in place certain things which Allen is prohibited from doing, such as preventing contact with anyone aged under 16 and puts restrictions on the use of electronic devices.

"The victims in this case have shown great courage in coming forward, especially as what he did to them is an exceptionally difficult topic for people of any age to talk about.

"Our team works very hard behind the scenes in order to put perpetrators who pose a risk to children before the court and I would encourage anyone who has been subjected to similar abuse to please come forward and report this to the police."

A man from Carlisle has today (3 Nov) been jailed to four years six months for multiple offences

Brian Marsden, 65, of Stonegarth, Carlisle was sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court for the following offences:

• Three counts of gross indecency with a girl
• Three counts of indecent assault on a girl
• Assaulting a young person to cause unnecessary suffering

The offences occurred between 1997 and 2002.

Detective Constable Kate Cunningham, Rape and Serious Sexual Offence (RASSO) Engagement officer who was the investigating officer in the case said:

“Marsden subjected his victims to multiple incidents of abuse, which he denied in interview.

“Today, he faces the consequences of his actions.

“Offences of this nature have a lasting impact, with the victims continuing to experience the psychological impact of the abuse they faced in adult life.

“We hope this encourages others who might have been subjected to such instances of historical abuse to come forward as no amount of time is a barrier to reporting offences.”

A registered Carlisle sex offender has a jail term "hanging over his head" after creating online usernames without notifying police.

Daniel Gardner, 53, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2016 for downloading and distributing indecent photographs of children. Carlisle Crown Court heard he also discussed child abuse online with adults and children, and incited youngsters to engage in sexual activity. He admitted 13 charges, with the youngest victim purportedly aged 11.

As punishment, Gardner was placed on the sex offender register indefinitely, requiring him to inform police of personal details and online use.

However, Carlisle Magistrates’ Court heard he violated this by creating three usernames: two earlier this year, and one between January 2021 and September this year. He admitted three failures to comply.

Defense solicitor Adele Graham noted Gardner, of Levens Drive, Carlisle, pleaded guilty at the first opportunity, was compliant in interviews, and deeply remorseful. A probation report recommended community-based punishment, citing his low mood and anxiety, which prison would exacerbate.

District Judge Philip Holden called the original crimes "extremely serious." "You know well you are not to create online usernames without first telling the police about them," he said.

He imposed a 24-week suspended prison sentence for two years, plus rehabilitation and a 26-day program. "You know now that this is hanging over your head," the judge told Gardner. "If you don’t comply, you know what’s going to happen. You have come very close to going to prison today. Take this chance. Comply with your order."

Description

A child sex offender in Staffordshire has been jailed for more than a decade.

Glynn Wills, 58, of Leek, was sentenced to 13-and-a-half-years in prison at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Friday (31 October) after he was found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault on a boy at an earlier hearing. He also admitted attempted sexual communication with a child.

In January 2022, one of the survivors recognised Wills after seeing a live stream on social media after Wills had been challenged over sending messages of a sexual nature to a decoy account which was purporting to be a 14-year-old boy.

A further survivor later came forward and told us that they had been sexually assaulted by Wills more than 20 years ago.

We launched an investigation into him and brought Wills in for questioning. He answered no comment to all of them.

By working tirelessly to support the survivors and to capture all of the available evidence, we secured the charges against Wills and brought him before the courts.

Because of the strength of this evidence, and the bravery of both survivors, the jury found Wills guilty on all of the charges that he originally denied in court.

As part of his sentencing, he was served with a restraining order against both of the survivors, put on the Sex Offender’s Register for life and made subject of an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

After his 13-and-a-half-years in prison, Wills will serve an additional three years on extended licence.

DC Simon Beardmore said:

“I’m pleased that we’ve been able to provide some closure for both survivors in this case, who have equally shown immense courage in coming forward and supporting our investigation into Wills.

“I hope this shows other survivors that we are determined to take robust action against sex offenders in Staffordshire, no matter how recent the offences may have been.”
