Lesbian Molester Claire Lyte Gets Prison

(Liverpool, England) Today, 29-year-old tennis coach and convicted lesbian molester, Claire Lyte, was sentenced to two years and nine months in jail by Judge Nigel Gilmour QC. Lyte was also banned from having contact with children.

Lyte was found guilty last month of molesting a 13-year-old girl after a high-profile trial that included graphic and salacious testimony. During the proceedings, Judge Gilmour addressed Lyte.
He criticised Lyte for trying to avoid justice by claiming the victim's mother invented allegations against her because the girl was not good enough to turn professional. He also said her parents had lied in their evidence.

He said: "In attempting to escape conviction you alleged that three generations of the victim's family were all part of a wicked conspiracy to get you convicted of crimes you hadn't committed.

"The jury rejected those wicked allegations of yours."

Referring to Lyte's parents Colin and Gillian, he added: "I am sure your parents in all other respects are wholly admirable members of society, but have given lying evidence to the jury, no doubt at your request and encouragement."
Lyte's attorney, Margaret Coall, said there would be an appeal.
