It was revealed that while awaiting trial for that offence, Heaton was granted bail, leaving him free to batter and sexually assault a nine-year-old girl at woodland in Great Harwood, Lancashire.
The sex monster has since been jailed indefinitely but St Helens North MP Dave Watts believes the decision to bail him last May should be examined.
In the wake of the Heaton sentencing, political party UKIP, contacted the Star to say they agreed with Mr Watts’ view but stressed it is a Labour government that has had influence over the justice system for almost 13 years.
Gary Robinson, of UKIP, who will compete against Watts for the St Helens North seat at this year’s general election, said:
“It is his government who has presided over the justice system for more than a decade and his government which passes down advice and guidelines to judges.”
