Steven Monk-Dalton

Steven Monk-Dalton, aged 56, who formerly resided in Barrow but more recently lived in Ibiza, Spain, has been sentenced to six years in prison for a rape committed almost thirty years ago. The offence took place in Barrow during the 1990s, and Monk-Dalton was convicted following a trial at Preston Crown Court.

On 10 October, a jury found him guilty of the rape, leading to his immediate custodial sentence. The case was part of a roundup of South Cumbrian criminals jailed in October, as reported by The Mail. This conviction highlights the long arm of the law in pursuing historical sexual offences.

The sentencing underscores the severity of the crime and its lasting impact on the victim. Court proceedings at Preston Crown Court detailed the evidence presented, resulting in the unanimous guilty verdict.
