Leonard Vandenborn – serving 12 years for a series of sex attacks against two girls – this week launched a Court of Appeal bid to quash a £190,000 costs order and save his family from being forced to sell their home.

And their misery was compounded when the court ordered Vandenborn to also foot the costs of the appeal – believed to be up to £10,000.
