Facebook murderer to serve at least 35 years
A convicted sex offender has been jailed for life after admitting the kidnap, rape and murder of a teenage girl he met on the internet.
Peter Chapman, 33, was told by Judge Peter Fox QC he must serve a minimum of 35 years in prison.
Teesside Crown Court heard he met and befriended 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall on Facebook by posing as a teenage boy.
Chapman, who had a history of sex assaults, at first denied the charges, but earlier changed his plea to guilty.
On sentencing, Judge Fox said Chapman was, and had been for a "considerable time" a "very great" danger to young women.
"For what it is worth, I cannot foresee your release," he said.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
