Grieving Son Walks in on 'Depraved' Lorry Driver Having Sex with His Mum’s Body
The judge said the attack was planned and imposed a five-year sexual harm prevention order and a 10-year sex offender registration.
- On Friday, Hull Crown Court sentenced Stephen Sellars, 62, of Hibaldstow, to 16 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to sexual penetration of a corpse committed while the victim's body awaited funeral arrangements.
- Sellars bolted a gate, locked the door, and drew curtains before the victim's son and nephew caught him in the act. Judge John Thackray KC described the incident as a "clearly planned attack."
- The victim's son described the incident as having a "massive impact" on him, calling the offense "unimaginable." He stated "there is nothing he could ever say that could justify it," noting he feels "numb and betrayed."
- Judge Thackray noted that while legislation changed on September 29 to allow a seven-year maximum, he could only impose 16 months due to the law at the time. Sellars received a five-year sexual harm prevention order and 10-year registration.
- Defense barrister Benjamin Donnell argued Sellars was a "good employee" with no prior sexual offenses since 1988. Sellars conceded his behavior was "depraved," acknowledging he "crossed a line that should never have been crossed" and attributed his actions to drug use.
