Warrener
A 59 year old man,Michael Warrener has been jailed for 19 years for the repeated rape of his daughter, who later killed herself.
Warrener, from Twickenham Road, had denied three charges of rape and one of indecent assault, but was found guilty at Newcastle Crown Court.
He was also found guilty of indecent assaults on two other child victims.
His daughter Claire Warrener, who was in her early 20s, took her own life in 2010, just months after reporting the abuse.
The court heard that it started when she was aged about 13.
Following the sentencing, Det Con David Garrity, from Northumbria Police Rape Investigation Team, said that Warrener is a very dangerous individual who subjected his victims to horrific sexual abuse over a number of years.
According to Garrrity, Warner’s behaviour has had a profound effect on all the victims involved. He acknowledged the victims' bravery in coming forward and having the courage to give evidence against this man in what must have been a very difficult set of circumstances.
