A paedophile who swapped naked pictures with teens, a stalker who left his ex-wife terrified and a woman who set fire to her own flat.
Here are some of the convicted criminals who appeared before judges and magistrates in Northamptonshire in February.
This is not an exhaustive list but a compilation of some of the most serious cases heard in our courts.
9. EDWARD UNSING
The 68-year-old, from Cransley, was jailed for seven months after breaching court orders imposed when he was previously dealt with for having sick child abuse images.
10. STANISLAV STANEV
Stanev, of Kettering, left his ex-wife feeling broken after a stalking campaign against her. He was jailed for 12 months but is likely to be released very soon given the time he spent on remand, a court heard.
11. LUCA VELLUCCI
Vellucci, 20 and from Swinburne Close in Kettering, admitted ABH after fracturing a man's cheekbone by punching him at The Earl of Dalkeith. He was sentenced to unpaid work and told to pay compensation.
12. ISAIAH PINK
Pink, of Mears Ashby, ran over and killed Lovaine Donaldson in front of his victim's heartbroken wife Angela in Wellingborough. He was doing about 64mph in a 40mph zone and was jailed for 33 months.
