Woman jailed for rape of child with two men

A woman who sexually assaulted and raped a child with two men has been jailed for life.

Vicki Bevan, 37, was given the life sentence by Judge Andrew Menary QC at Liverpool Crown Court and told she must serve a minimum of 10 years before parole can be considered.

He told Bevan her “shockingly depraved” fantasies had been carried out on the victim with the two other defendants, Tony Hutton, 42, and Paul Rafferty, 62. All are from St Helens.

Bevan was caught after a phone from another investigation into a paedophile showed indecent images and videos of children sent by a mobile number linked to the defendant.
