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.
13. LILIAN MWAURA
The arsonist torched her own flat in Windmill Avenue, Kettering, and could have caused a catastrophic explosion. She was jailed for five years.
14. PRZEMYLSAW SITEK
Sitek, of Pennine Way in Kettering, was given a suspended sentence after burgling the town's Frankie & Bennie's after climbing through a broken roof.
15. WILLIAM WILSON
Wilson spent four years behind bars after killing a young couple on the A14 while drunk, later being forgiven by the Kettering parents of one victim. He applied to get his driving licence back early so his dad could retire, but a judge refused his application.
