Dianne Whitehouse Cannock Paedophile
Dianne Whitehouse Cannock Paedophile

A female Cannock paedophile, Dianne Whitehouse, incarcerated for the abuse of a Birmingham teenager is residing only blocks away from her victim upon her release from prison.

Paula Smith recounted last month her experiences of being raped and sexually molested by 137 individuals beginning at the age of 13.

William Hannah, 66, a schoolteacher, his fiancée Dianne Whitehouse, 61, and Ian McGlasson, 50, received a cumulative sentence of 19 years.

Dianne Whitehouse was prematurely freed from her six-year sentence back in 2020 and is currently residing near Paula in Birmingham.

The Paedophile sex offender, Dianne Whitehouse, has reportedly been provoking her previous victim on Facebook.

Paula, 22, said:

She was actually released about a year ago and contacted the UK and Ireland Paedophile Database asking them to take her name off their site.

Paula met schoolteacher Hannah at a Birmingham hotel after first being groomed and abused by Ian McGlasson.

William Hannah later introduced the schoolgirl to Dianne Whitehouse and the pair abused her together.

Paula – not her real name – said:

They were violent, forceful and threatening. She claimed she was a horse riding teacher.

Paula was raped at the age of 13 after being abducted from near her school. Her alleged attacker later took their own life when arrested by police.

Days later, she was groomed by McGlasson via Facebook.

Over the next two years he repeatedly abused the schoolgirl and also forced her to meet other paedophiles.

William Hannah, from Acocks Green, was convicted of three counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of causing/inciting involvement in pornography. He was jailed for seven years.

Dianne Whitehouse, from Cannock, was found guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of causing/inciting involvement in pornography.

Ian McGlasson, from Stratford-upon-Avon, pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of meeting a child following sexual grooming. He also admitted taking indecent photographs of a child and possessing indecent photographs of a child.

He was jailed for six years. The three were also all ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
