A 67-week prison sentence was handed to 84-year-old Anthony Singleton for 1970s child abuse on Canvey Island, prompting a victim’s friend to urge other survivors to come forward.
A friend of a victim abused by 84-year-old Anthony Singleton, who was sentenced to 67 weeks in prison for 1970s child abuse on Canvey Island, is urging other survivors to come forward, believing more victims may exist.
The case, reported in 2017, was delayed due to questions about Singleton’s mental fitness, during which he was diagnosed with dementia, though a psychiatrist questioned the validity of his condition.
Despite defense claims he was a “model citizen,” the judge imposed an immediate sentence.
The victim’s friend welcomed the outcome as long overdue justice and encouraged survivors, regardless of age or time elapsed, to contact police.
Essex Police did not take a mugshot during Singleton’s initial voluntary interview.
