February Parole Hearing Set for Peter Voisey’s Possible Release

The panel will assess public risk using reports, expert testimony, victim statements, and case history.

Overview

  • The Parole Board confirmed an oral hearing in February for Voisey, marking his sixth parole review.
  • Voisey was convicted at Newcastle Crown Court of rape, sexual assault, and abduction for a 2005 attack on a six-year-old in Willington Quay.
  • He received a life sentence with a 10-year minimum term, and the sentencing judge warned he might never be released.
  • The board says it will review extensive documentation, hear from probation, psychiatric and psychological experts, and question Voisey and witnesses.
  • Key trial evidence included partial shoe prints on the bathroom floor and a diary entry dated December 27 reading, “Phew, it’s over. Chill now,” and the child was found by local resident Geoffrey Brown.
