From vile sex offenders to drug dealers plying their wicked trade, these offenders have finally been brought to justice.
Among the defendants this month were four thugs who took part in mob violence that engulfed Harehills over the summer.
After another busy month at Leeds Crown Court, here are 58 of the criminals who appeared in the dock in October -
37. Nathaniel Benson
Nathaniel Benson, 45, of Southend Avenue, Bramley, was jailed for 28 moths after admitting a charge of importing a Class B drug. In September, he tried to smuggle almost 80kgs of cannabis out of Bangkok in suitcases - one of which was checked in under his youngster’s name. | Getty/NCA
38. Jason Lawson
Jason Lawson, 45, of Clifton Road, Sharlston Common, was jailed for 15 months after he was found guilty of coercive control, assault and stalking. The court heard he would frequently accuse his partner of cheating and constantly demand to know where she was, resorting to violence by slamming her head into a door and kicking her on the floor after one jealous outburst. | National World/West Yorkshire Police
39. William Foley
William Foley, 25, of Coldcotes Grove, Gipton, was jailed for 21 months after he admitted using violence to secure entry to premises, and making threats with a bladed article in a private place and a public place.
