A sex cult leader who brainwashed and abused children can be moved to an open prison, the Parole Board has said.
Colin Batley was jailed in 2011 after being found guilty of 35 offences relating to being a molester and rapist of children and young people for more than 30 years.
He was previously referred to the Parole Board in 2023, but his bid to be released from prison was denied.
The parole board decided on Thursday that Batley would not be released but it would recommend him to be moved to an open prison, but the final decision has to be made by the Secretary of State for Justice Shabana Mahmood.
