Andrew Barlow, fomerly Andrew Longmire, terrorised women across five counties during the 1980s - he is now due to be released
A notorious rapist who is on the brink of being released will be banned from large areas of two countries when he is set free. Andrew Barlow, formerly, Andrew Longmire, terrorised women across five counties during the 1980s.
He was dubbed 'The Coronation Street rapist' as most of the victims were attacked in their own terraced homes in the north of England - the majority living in Greater Manchester. Two of the attacks took place in the street. In addition, he must submit to an enhanced form of supervision or monitoring including drug testing, signing-in times, GPS trail monitoring, polygraph testing and a specified curfew.
The relative was a young boy and having breakfast with his little sister when Barlow, masked, barged into the family home in Greater Manchester, one day in 1987, after waiting for the children's father to leave for work. His mother had the presence of mind to tell her children to go out and play. Barlow then took her upstairs and raped her.
The attack on his mother was the first in two waves of offending conducted by Barlow over seven years. He raped women in Rochdale, Oldham, Bolton, Hindley, Hyde, Warrington, Prestwich, Blackburn, Sheffield, and Stoke. The first series of attacks was from 1981-84. In 1985 he was in prison for other offences, but then began a second series of rapes from August 1987 until his arrest in January 1988.
