Former Man City Scout Barry Bennell Sentenced to 31-year Imprisonment

The long arm of the law has caught up with former Crewe Alexandra coach Barry Bennell, who was branded “Devil incarnate” on Monday after being sentenced to 30 years in prison for subjecting junior players from Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra to hundreds of sexual offences


Bennell, depicted as the "Devil incarnate" by the judge, was indicted of 43 count offences against 11 young boys aged 8-15 between 1979 and 1991 by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court and has been condemned to 31 years imprisonment 

The 64-year old former Crewe Alexandra boss and Manchester City scout admitted to seven charges of indecent sexual assault on three lads before the trial, two of whom were likewise part of the allegations he was tried on.
