Evil paedophiles who thought they had gotten away with it Their sickening crimes went unpunished for years but they still ended up behind bars These are the evil paedophiles who thought they had gotten away with their sickening crimes. Among them is Edward Stanton, a former house master at the infamous St Vincent's care home in Formby. The ECHO has previously reported how dozens of children's lives were destroyed by paedophiles who worked at St Vincent's where Stanton abused and raped boys during the 1980s. He was jailed in 1996 for 13 years but got hauled back into court after another brave victim came forward, telling of how he would sleep outside so he could escape the hellish care home and Stanton's abuse.
