    One of them was already jailed back in 2021 and the others were awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty

      Two have been jailed. Cooke for 18m and Baugh for 5y. There is a third named person that has not been charged but was fired.

      Thank you! Surprised the report didn’t mention that (I was too lazy to do a search).
