Jamie Varley has been sentenced to a whole life order for the murder and sexual abuse of his adopted baby, Preston Davey.

His partner John McGowan-Fazakerley was sentenced to 25 years for allowing the death of a child, two counts of child cruelty and one count of the sexual assault of a child.

The detective who led the investigation into Preston's death, Det Ch Insp Andy Fallows, described Varley as an "evil and monstrous individual who sexually, physically and mentally abused a vulnerable baby for his own sadistic pleasure".

He described Varley and McGowan-Fazakerley's offending as "the most extreme example of sordid and wicked behaviour by two completely remorseless human beings."

There is now a petition on https://t.co/MldcJETXFS calling on the Government to introduce "Preston's Law" — mandatory safeguarding follow-ups for all adopted children, with a formal trigger mechanism when two concerns are raised.

The UK has just announced an under-16s social media ban.

In 2019, Julie Crooks started petitioning for a social media ban for under-16s after losing her daughter Ruby at 15 to suicide.

At the time, no government in the world had done it.

Seven years later, the UK PM just announced one - but Julie says the fight isn't over.

"Ruby would have been 22 this year. I celebrated this morning, but I'm not declaring victory yet. I'll keep going until this is a real, enforceable, under-16's social media ban. I know how quickly a government promise can stall."

26,000 people have signed Ruby's Law so far. Petition link ➡️ https://t.co/hi3fMizrNj
