Johnathan Hutton, 39, was jailed for life after carrying out multiple rapes and sexual assaults in Norfolk, Cheshire and Lincolnshire. In addition to the many horrific cases in our county, there were two cases in Norfolk with links to Lincolnshire.
Over 25 criminals in Lincolnshire were handed jail terms of over a decade, including life sentences, in a busy year for the courts, which were also impacted by barristers’ strikes.
