Man, 76, arrested on suspicion of administering poison at UK summer camp
A 76-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of administering poison after several children became ill at a summer camp in England, police said Thursday. After an initial report was made by a third party on Sunday, officers and ambulance workers were deployed to the camp in the village of Stathern, Leicestershire, central England, where the children were assessed. Eight children were taken to hospital. All have since been discharged and their parents and guardians have been contacted by officers, Leicestershire Police said in a statement. The arrested man is in custody 'on suspicion of administering poison/a noxious thing with intent to injure/aggrieve/annoy,' the force said. 'We understand the concern this incident will have caused to parents, guardians and the surrounding community,' said Detective Inspector Neil Holden, the senior investigating officer. He added that officers were working with partner agencies, including children's services, 'to ensure full safeguarding is provided to the children involved.' 'This is a complex and sensitive investigation and we will continue to provide updates to both parents and guardians and the public as and when we can,' Holden said. The East Midlands Special Operations Unit's Major Incident Team (MIT) is leading the investigation and anyone with any information is being asked to contact police. The force has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) over what it says were the 'circumstances of the initial police response' to the incident, though no further details have been provided.

Sex attacker who filmed himself raping young girl jailed for 12 years
A sex attacker who filmed himself raping a young girl has been jailed for 12 years. Matthew James also rigged up hidden cameras to spy on the child during the grooming and abuse. The sick 47 year-old later claimed the youngster never said 'no' as he preyed on her. A woman also suffered repeated physical and sexual violence at his hands. James was sentenced today at the High Court in Glasgow. He had been due to stand trial, but instead pled guilty to a total of 12 charges including raping both victims. The crimes occurred in a number of locations including Gourock in Inverclyde between 2015 and 2022. Read More Man arrested and charged following 'disturbance' on flight to Glasgow Two women seriously injured in deliberate fire at block of flats Attempted murder probe after man found seriously injured James, of Fort William, raped the child which also involved him taking photos and making video recordings of attacks. He further abused her while she was asleep. The court heard James even concealed cameras in rooms capturing the unwitting youngster as she was getting dressed. The woman meantime was the victim of a similar horror ordeal. This included raping her after forcing her over the bonnet of a car. She was also preyed upon while sleeping. Judge David Young KC said a background assessment had concluded James was a "dangerous individual" who continued to pose a risk to others. He told James: "Both victims have lodged impact statements - it is plain your actions had an effect on their lives which can be described as devastating. "The girl spoke of closing down, feeling helpless and hopeless. The ability to form relationships has been fractured. "The woman has had her life torn apart. "You accept the offences against the child, but are not able to explain the behaviour. "You report that she never said 'no', but this comment about a child raises concerns in itself. "Although you have pled guilty, you say the behaviour against the woman was consensual." James was further put on the sex offenders list. He has also been banned from approaching or contacting the victims - both for an indefinite period. James will also be supervised for a further four years on his release.
