Assurances Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain ‘deeply committed’ arise as ‘old Harry’ fails a ‘besotted’ Meghan Markle
Monster Scots mum who forced boys to rape baby girl in abuse campaign with ex-husband jailed
A MONSTER couple who forced two boys to take part in the rape of a one-year-old girl have been locked up for a combined 24 years.
The lads were aged just three and seven when they were compelled to participate in sickening attacks by evil Michael Cummins, 35, and wife Samantha Crawford, 33.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard how the pair also subjected the boys and the girl to repeated serious sexual and physical assaults during a four year period beginning in 2014.
They also abused a fourth child.
Crawford and Cummins, both of Kirkcaldy, Fife, had stood trial earlier this year where they denied wrongdoing.
The pair silenced the children from telling other adults about what had happened to them by saying: “zip it, lock it put it in your pocket”.
Today, the evil duo reappeared at court to be sentenced.
Crawford was told she’d serve 10 years in custody while Cummins was told he’d serve 14 years in jail.
The pair were also told that they’d be supervised for years following their release – Crawford for three years and Cummins for four years.
Passing sentence, Lord Harrower said: “Your offending must be categorised as extreme. The impact of your offending on these children will be devastating.
“You do not accept any responsibility and neither of you have shown any remorse for your actions.”
Jurors returned guilty verdicts after having spent a week and a half listening to evidence detailing the impact that the attacks have had on the children – much of which is too awful to publish.
Crawford, who chose not to give evidence in her defence, started crying uncontrollably as they returned their verdicts.
But beast Cummins stared into the distance as judge Lord Harrower remanded the duo into custody.
Lord Harrower also told the jurors that they’d be eligible for counselling if they wanted to speak to somebody about their ordeal.
The court heard how the couple – who married in 2011 then split in 2022 – targeted their first victim when he was aged seven.
Cummins raped and physically assaulted the boy.
Their second victim was three when Cummins struck him repeatedly on the head and body with a belt and carried out sex attacks.
Crawford also struck the lad on his head and body with her hand. The girl was aged just one when she was raped on “various occasions”.
The pair also sexually and physically assaulted a fourth child, a boy born in 2014.
Doctors who examined the victims concluded their injuries had been caused by “traumatic” force.
The court heard Cummins had convictions for road traffic offences.
Today, Cummins’s solicitor advocate Gordon Martin told the court that his client knew what disposal he’d receive for his crimes.
He added: “He is under no illusion that he will receive a custodial sentence today. He is someone who has worked throughout his entire life.
“In all the circumstances I would invite the court to treat Mr Cummins as leniently as possible.”
Crawford’s advocate Jonathan Crowe told Lord Harrower that she still maintained her innocence.
She added: “Ms Crawford knows that in the circumstances the court has no option but to impose a custodial sentence.”
Lord Harrower also placed the pair on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
It comes as we revealed the paedophile couple lived next door to a trans pervert – with locals dubbing them the “neighbours from hell”.
The monster duo and 6ft5in beast Katie Dolatowski, 24, lived in a terraced row surrounded by unsuspecting families.
The trans predator sexually assaulted a ten-year-old schoolgirl in a supermarket toilet and attacked a second girl of 12 in another shop.
Crawford and Cummins even joined the effort to see off Dolatowski, triggering shock among residents when they too were unmasked as monsters.
Amanda Serrano’s manager reveals fresh twist to fall-out from Katie Taylor defeat that could throw result into question
KATIE TAYLOR’S unanimous decision win over Amanda Serrano could be in danger of being overturned to a no contest.
The Bray woman retained her undisputed super lightweight world titles with a unanimous decision win over Serrano last Friday night.
The bout – gruelling sequel to their Madison Square Garden original from April 2022 – was not without controversy.
Serrano suffered a nasty cut over her right eye in the fourth round due to a clash of heads.
The gash was made worse by another head clash in the eighth round, with Taylor deducted a point.
Despite this, the Irish woman had her hand raised in victory to give herself a 2-0 lead over the Puerto Rican.
Speaking to Off The Ball, her manager Nakisa Bidarian revealed that a review was ongoing which could lead to the result being changed.
He said: “They believe they won, I believe they won.
“If you look at the Compubox stats, Amanda significantly outpunched Katie Taylor and had a higher accuracy rate.
“In fact Amanda set the record for the most punches landed in female boxing history, but put that aside, you could say to the eye of the judges or to the eyes of the consumer, the fan, the fight was pretty close.”
According to the Compubox statistics, while Serrano did outpunch KT overall, the Bray Bomber had better success rates in six of the ten rounds.
Bidarian continued: “What wasn’t close was Katie Taylor using her head to lead into the exchanges and it did result in one point being deducted.
“You could easily make an argument that Amanda could have won that fight easily because she way, way outboxed from a punch stat perspective Katie Taylor in that match up.
“But end of the day it’s the decision of the judges what the outcome is and we have to live with that.
“There is a review happening I think with the commission and MVP around the headbutting, but it’s not an intention to takeaway from what Katie achieved.
“We’re very proud of what Katie and Amanda achieved together.”
Bidarian was asked by host Eoin Sheahan about the purpose of the review.
And he responded: “Just seeing if there is a case for a no contest in this bout given the amount of headbutts that occurred throughout the evening, whether they were intentional or not.”
The Irish Sun has contacted Most Valuable Promotions and the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations for comment.
‘SHADY’
Taylor was accused of cheating in the aftermath of the fight, with fans at the AT&T Stadium booing the result.
Serrano fumed: “Katie kept headbutting me. It’s what she does, using her head, dirty — 100 per cent the headbutts were intentional.
“I knew if it went to the judges it would be shady.
“I landed 107 more punches, she got a point deducted and yet I lost 95-94.”
Her trainer Jordan Maldonado added: “If head-butting is not included and we get a fair referee, one who knows what he’s doing… there was a lot of headbutting.
“Amanda had 50 fights. The first time she ever got cut was the first fight with Taylor.”
The 2012 Olympic gold medallist rebuked those claims, while Serrano rowed back on them on social media the following morning.
She posted on X: “Congratulations to Katie.
“Tempers are flared when you’re in the heat of battle and you say things you shouldn’t say.
“I’m not one to ever disrespect an opponent and these were never my intentions to Katie.
“She and I are cool outside the ring and are the best dance partners in it.
“In no way should I ever have said she did it purposely.
“I try to be the nicest person I can be but I’m human.
“Being emotionally hurt can misguide you in what you say.
“I’m bruised and cut but still healthy.”
Arsenal ready to ‘rescue’ Real Madrid’s ‘next Martin Odegaard’ who could help solve two problem positions
ARSENAL are plotting a January swoop for Real Madrid star Arda Guler, according to reports in Spain.
The Gunners are seeking reinforcements for Mikel Arteta‘s squad.
In Guler’s situation, they see similarities with that of their club captain Martin Odegaard.
The Norwegian, 25, had arrived at the Bernabeu as a highly-rated teen, but found game time hard to come by during the first half of the 2020-21 season.
In January 2021 the Gunners moved to sign him on loan, before making the deal permanent in the summer.
Odegaard has gone on to be a huge success at the Emirates and is now viewed as one of Arteta’s most important players.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, Gunners chiefs believe that something similar could happen with Guler.
The Turkish wonderkid, 19, arrived in Madrid from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023.
Amid several injuries and stiff competition, he has struggled for minutes under Carlo Ancelotti.
They claim that he has become unhappy with the situation, having made just three LaLiga starts so far this term.

Gunners chiefs are claimed to have “made contact” with Guler’s entourage as they plot a potential move.
But they are set to face fierce competition, with other teams having reportedly done the same.
Guler has made 24 appearances in total for Real Madrid, scoring six goals.
Last season he was scuppered by knee and muscle injuries, being limited to just 10 LaLiga outings.
The teenager has already become a key man for his country.
He starred at Euro 2024, scoring against Georgia and laying on assists vs Austria and the Netherlands.
