13. Howard Burgess
Detectives saluted the bravery of victims of the 59-year-old Northampton paedophile who were sexually abused more than 20 years ago but came forward to report the attacks. We reported in September how Burgess, of Meltham Close, was found guilty of eight counts of gross indecency and sentenced to seven years. DC Adam Kelly said: “These men have lived with the impact of Burgess’ offending for a long time. Their composure, dignity and determination has ensured Burgess cannot harm anyone else.” Photo: Northamptonshire Police

The Kettering paedophile sexually abused two children — and boasted about it online to an undercover police officer. We reported in February how Campbell, 34 of Laburnum Crescent, pleaded guilty to nine sex offences committed when he lived in the Gateshead area, including two counts of sexual assault and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. He was sentenced to eight years at Northampton Crown Court. Photo: Northamptonshire Police
