 found guilty of raping a dog walker, despite pleading his innocence, has written a letter to say sorry.

Stephen Ord, 37, was due to be sentenced for the rape of a 58-year-old women in Calderstones Park Calderstones Park is in the south of Liverpool, England, it has an area of 490,000 square metres [121 acres] and contains Calderstones House, stables and a lake of 8,000 square metres.  and the assault of a 77-year-old woman as she walked to a Northway Park.

But yesterday Judge David Harris David Harris may refer to:

In politics and government:
  • David Harris (Australian politician)
  • David Harris (lawyer), former Canadian Security Intelligence Service planner and terrorism consultant
 QC adjourned the sentencing at Liverpool crown court to allow for physiological tests on Ord.

Judge Harris read out a letter written by Ord, in which he apologised for "not being enough of a man to plead guilty."

Ord, of Acuba Road, Wavertree, wrote: "It was cowardly and despicable and they now have to live with the horror of what I did for the rest of their lives."

He said cocaine and alcohol had put him in a downward spiral and changed his personality.

He also apologised for letting his family down with his "despicable crime."

Judge Harris said he would weight up a pre-sentence report suggesting Ord is still a dangerous offender In Canadian criminal law, a convicted person who is designated a dangerous offender may be subjected to an indeterminate prison sentence, whether or not the crime carries a life sentence.  with his "acceptance of the gravity of his action and his potential to engage in prison programmes."

Judge Harris said: "It's very unusual for somebody who fights a case so firmly as Mr Ord to acknowledge he was effectively telling a pack of lies and set out to deceive TO DECEIVE. To induce another either by words or actions, to take that for true which is not so. Wolff, Inst. Nat. Sec. 356.  the jury."

He said he'd access the sincerity of the letter and told the victims they were brave for re-living their experience in court and bringing Ord to justice.
