Glasgow Child Abuse Ring Sentenced to Decades in Prison

Seven members of a child abuse gang, convicted of heinous crimes, face lifelong monitoring after sentences ranging from 8 to 20 years.

The seven convicted individuals, including two women and five men, committed systematic child abuse over seven years in a Glasgow home used as a drug den.
The crimes included rape, sexual assault, attempted murder, and forcing children to ingest drugs and alcohol, with victims subjected to extreme physical and emotional abuse.
Sentences ranged from 8 to 20 years, with lifelong restriction orders ensuring the perpetrators may never be released and will be monitored for life if paroled.
The abuse, described by the presiding judge as among the worst examples of human behavior, involved acts such as trapping a child in a microwave and coercing children into abusing one another.
The bravery of the victims in recounting their experiences was commended, with authorities emphasizing the need for continued support and learning from the case.
