Natalie Wolf, Formerly Ryan Haley, Jailed for Sexual Activity With a Child

The judge dismissed claims of juror hypnosis, refusing release pending appeal.

Overview

  • Newcastle Crown Court sentenced Wolf to three and a half years, ordered lifelong sex-offender registration and imposed a sexual harm prevention order.
  • Jurors convicted the 47-year-old of groping a girl when she was a young teenager in Washington, Tyne and Wear, after she reported the abuse years later.
  • The survivor delivered an impact statement rejecting Wolf’s adopted name and describing enduring effects of the abuse.
  • Judge Gavin Doig said Wolf was not the victim of any conspiracy, noted a lack of remorse and rejected assertions that jurors and officials were “hypnotised.”
  • Wolf is being held at HMP Durham, a male facility, following sentencing.
