Robert and Sally Dowler craved justice for their “darling Milly”. But claiming it exacted a high personal price. Milly’s father and then her mother broke down in the dock as they gave evidence during Levi Bellfield’s trial.

Robert Dowler, now 59, was forced to admit he had been an early police suspect. He was stripped of his paternal dignity as details of his sexual proclivities were extracted.

The wail of Sally Dowler as she finished her evidence and collapsed into her husband’s arms, haunted a stunned court long after she was helped from the room.

Waiting outside for her turn as a witness, Milly’s sister, Gemma, 25, broke down on seeing her mother shaking and overwrought. Court officials and family liaison officers flustered round helplessly as she too convulsed in sobs.

“Harrowing” was how someone described the scene as a first-aider was summoned. No one disagreed. In the end Gemma was spared when lawyers consented to her statement being read to the court.

Former chief executive Chris Hedges had been jailed for sex with 14-year-old girl

Hedges’ sick past only came to light after he was dismissed from his chief executive post for alleged bullying. Trustees told the Daily Echo that he would never have been offered the job if they had known about his convictions.

THE MAN at the helm of a Hampshire charity for four years was a convicted child sex offender, the Daily Echo can reveal.

Trustees of Open Sight were unaware that Chris Hedges had been jailed after admitting five cha-rges of having unlawful sex with a 14-year-old girl.

They didn’t carry out a criminal records check when they recruited him because the job didn’t involve him coming into contact with young people.

However, the Daily Echo has discovered that his role changed over time and he ended up dealing with vulnerable youngsters, even though he had been banned for life from working with children.

None of the current board of trustees of Open Sight, which supports thousands of people with sight loss across Hampshire, were in place when Hedges was appointed more than four years ago.

But a spokesman for the charity, which has bases in Eastleigh and Bishopstoke, confirmed Hedges had never made anyone aware of his previous conviction, or the fact that he is on the sex offenders’ register.
