His partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, was sentenced to 25 years for neglect and sexual assault. The court exposed Varley’s lies — the video was filmed weeks before Preston’s hospitalization, while fresh bruises contradicted his clumsy-baby excuse. Varley’s shifting story and attempts to appear a loving father failed. He was found guilty of murder, grievous bodily harm, sexual assault, cruelty, and possessing indecent images of the child. McGowan-Fazakerley was convicted for enabling the abuse that led to Preston’s death. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
