For her involvement in a paedophile ring, this sick, church-going Kent Paedophile Monica McCanch spent six years behind bars. Monica McCanch was 55 when she received her 2007 Maidstone Crown Court sentence.
Living in Kent, Monica McCanch worked as a clinical trials manager for a pharmaceutical company.
Before their divorce, she had been married to a grammar school teacher. She was also in an unusual sexual connection with 60-year-old Devonian accomplice Archibald Wood.
Along with ringleader Steven Horton, 44, of Sittingbourne, the trio tormented a 12-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy through a horrendous six-hour ordeal, including rape, forcing them to perform sex acts and watch while the adults engaged in sex.
Kent Police looked into their offences in line with a worldwide police initiative called Operation Starlight.
Horton had written an advertisement inviting paedophiles to come forward on an online chatroom where the trio had first met.
Wood answered the message and then introduced Monica McCanch and himself.
After meeting at a Hampshire fuel station, Monica McCanch and Wood headed to a residence to meet Horton and the kids.
This heinous crime was considered among the first ones in which youngsters are presented online in this way, which seems odd.
