A NOTORIOUS Manchester Irish gangster has been jailed for a further 11 years after being found guilty of a string of non-recent sexual assaults on young boys.
Dominic Noonan – also known as Domenyk Lattlay-Fottfoy – was today found guilty of sexual assaults against four boys who were aged between 10 and 17 years old.
The offences include eight counts of indecent assault, one count of attempted rape, two of inciting a child into sexual activity, one count of sexual assault and one of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.
Noonan, 53, of HMP Belmarsh, was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to a further 11 years in prison on top of the nine-year sentence he is already serving for arson, conspiracy to blackmail and perverting the course of justice.
Entourage
The court heard that Noonan used his notoriety and influence to groom and sexually assault young boys between 1980 and 1981, 1990 and 1991, 2001 and 2004, and between 2010 and 2012.
One victim, who was assaulted between 2001 and 2004, told the court that Noonan would surround himself with young boys, all of whom would wear white shirts that were buttoned up.
He would ply them with drugs and alcohol and they would drive around Manchester city centre.
After he began spending an increasing amount of time with the group, Noonan began to sexually abuse the victim to the point it was taking place every day.
Another victim, who was aged 15 at the time of the assaults and met Noonan at a pub in Stockport, told the court that he and other boys were treated as his entourage and he was provided with a suit by Noonan to give him more credibility.
Brave victims
Detective Inspector Michael Gladwin from GMP’s Public Protection Investigation Unit said: “Lattlay-Fottfoy used his notoriety to groom young vulnerable boys, then use them and sexually assault them until his behaviour became normalised.
“Rumours about Lattlay-Fottfoy’s sexual behaviour have followed him round for many years, but it is only thanks to the bravery of these victims that we have been able to bring him to justice for his crimes.”
Noonan was one of 14 children born to Irish parents in Manchester, all given names that started with the letter D.
Along with his older brother Desmond, Noonan appeared in a crime documentary with Donal McIntyre in 2005, which aired just days after Desmond was stabbed to death.
He changed his named to Lattlay-Fottfoy, which stands for ‘Love All Those That Love All You – F*** Off Those That F*** Off You’.
