Police find 12-year-old boy locked in cupboard during routine visit to paedophile's home

A young boy was found hiding in a locked cupboard at a paedophile’s home. 


Police discovered the 12-year-old during a routine visit to the home of registered sex offender, Adam Younger. 


Durham Crown Court heard that Younger, then 22, was being monitored as a three-times sex offender.


It was under the terms of that order that the officer visited the house in Horden, County Durham, on December 29.


Mark Styles, prosecuting, said when Younger answered the door he was only partially dressed.          More
