These are the faces of 13 people locked up for crimes linked to Merseyside this past week.
One judge had to sentence a young rapist who collects "trophies" in the form of clothing from his victims.
Courts heard about a drug dealer who poured boiling water over the face of a sleeping murder suspect in jail.
One judge had to sentence a cowardly thug who threatened to stab a man who met him to sell clothes he listed on Facebook Marketplace.
They dealt with a creep who sent vile sexual messages to a 13-year-old girl and a smirking sex offender who rode a bike into a woman.
Meanwhile the biggest EncroChat drug case dealt with so far at Liverpool Crown Court saw a £27m drug boss and his couriers locked up.
Here is an overview of some of the most serious cases to have concluded this past week.
Anthony Kamara
Anthony Kamara poured boiling water over the face of a sleeping murder suspect in jail because he didn't like the man's attitude to his alleged crime.
The 33-year-old was a leading member of an EncroChat drug gang who tried to hide their Merseyside roots by using the gang nickname "Manc Joey".
Kamara, of Ritson Street, Toxteth, admitted conspiring to supply heroin and cocaine with the county lines crew and was jailed for six years in February.
The boiling water attack happened when Kamara was on remand at Exeter prison in January, on the night his 35-year-old man moved into his cell.
The two men watched a report of the murder suspect's first court appearance on the local news on TV together and spoke about the alleged offence.
Kamara waited for him to fall asleep before he boiled a kettle and poured it over his head and chest, causing serious burns to 15% of his body.
He ripped the TV off the wall, battered him over the head with it, then smashed him repeatedly in the face with a makeshift cosh of a can of tuna in a sock.
The victim, who had a broken rib and two cracked vertebrae, is due to be tried in August.
Kamara admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent and was jailed for 10 and a half years, consecutive to his existing jail term, with an extended three years on licence.
Kirk Eden
Convicted sex offender Kirk Eden deliberately rode a bike into a Royal Navy officer after a row over his caravan.
Wirral mum-of-one Hayley Shakeshaft returned home from a tour to Syria only to become locked in a dispute with Eden.
He was staying in a caravan on the grounds of Barnston Towers Close in Heswall, where Miss Shakeshaft lives with her daughter.
Liverpool Crown Court heard there was a "longstanding issue" about whether 47-year-old Eden had a right to be living there.
He decided to crash his bike into Miss Shakeshaft, knocking the 36-year-old to the ground, then rode off "smirking" at his victim.
Miss Shakeshaft put out her hand to break her fall, but suffered a fractured wrist and bruising to her shoulder, hip and thigh.
Eden, now of Rocklee Gardens, Little Neston, denied inflicting grievous bodily harm, only to admit the charge a week before a trial.
The long time drug addict has 27 past convictions for 84 offences, including seven sex offences, theft, fraud, making threats to kill, assault and harassment.
He was jailed for two years and three months.
Jamie O'Connor
Jamie O'Connor set up a cocaine "shop" in his home after losing his job because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Police discovered more than 750g of cocaine and £6,140 in cash when they raided the dad-of-four's address.
Police experts said the drugs could have raked in up to £75,000 when sold in individual deals on the streets.
O'Connor confessed to police that he had flogged a kilo of cocaine every two weeks since being made redundant last June.
But the 30-year-old wasn't charged by the Crown Prosecution Service over the estimated 20 kilos he claimed to have sold.
Instead he admitted possessing the 750g with intent to supply at his home in Parkhill Road, Birkenhead on April 12 this year, plus possessing cannabis, and possessing criminal property.
O'Connor, now of Houghton Road, Woodchurch, was jailed for four and a half years.
Reiss Fletcher
Reiss Fletcher threatened to stab a man who met up with him to sell some clothes he had listed on Facebook Marketplace.
The 20-year-old, of Bridge Street, Birkenhead, had arranged to meet the victim in Chester after agreeing to purchase items of clothing on January 18 this year.
On Saturday, January 23, a similar arrangement was made again for a pair of jeans, shoes and a belt, with the exchange taking place at Victoria Road, Chester.
Cheshire Police said the "frightening incident" took place in front of the victim's 12-year-old son, who was in the car at the time.
Once the victim unwrapped a pair of shoes, Fletcher demanded all the goods in the car and threatened to stab the victim if he didn't hand the clothes over.
But when the victim told Fletcher to leave he fled and police found him in a nearby flat, with clothing he had previously stolen and a knife.
Fletcher admitted robbery and threatening a person with a bladed article.
He was jailed for five years.
Michael Farrer
Michael Farrer left a trail of clues behind after drilling his way into a safe and stealing cash at Pound Bakery.
The 35-year-old slipped into the budget bakery via the roof on Church Street in Runcorn some time after 5pm on Saturday, February 1 last year.
Once inside, Farrer pulled a safe into the middle of the room and drilled a large hole into it, before swiping £1,300 in cash and a safe worth £1,100.
He also grabbed some labels and a bag of till rolls, which he used to cover the smoke alarm.
Staff discovered the break-in the following morning and reported it to the police, who found Farrer's DNA on the labels and the bag used on the alarm.
Farrer, of South Terrace, Bury, admitted burglary and was jailed for 21 months.
Martin Standrell and Francis Shannon
A drug dealer was stabbed in the neck leaving a trail of blood which led police to a crack den.
Francis Shannon, 36, from Parkfield Road, Aigburth, had travelled to Blackpool to sell drugs from another dealer's flat.
Emergency services raced to Iddon Court in the seaside resort on May 19, 2019 after reports of a violent attack.
When they arrived, officers found Shannon in the street with a serious stab wound to his neck, which left him fighting for his life.
Officers followed a trail of blood to Martin Standrell's flat where they found the 34-year-old and Jayson Kaul, 41, with crack cocaine and MDMA.
The three men had to wait years to learn their fate after both Strandell and Kaul were initially suspected of attempting to murder their co-defendant, before being cleared of any wrongdoing in relation to the stabbing.
Evidence found at the scene showed drugs had been posted out directly to users through Royal Mail with customers able to pay by bank transfer.
Shannon, who suffered life-changing injuries and now has limited mobility and PTSD, admitted conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
He was jailed for two years and eight months. No mugshot of Shannon was provided by police.
Standrell, of Avondale Road North, Southport, admitted being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
He was jailed for four and a half years.
Jordan Talbot, James Ward and Jamie Carlton
A "top level controller" of a £27m drug gang was caught as he tried to flee with his girlfriend in a BMW to Spain.
Jordan Talbot was exposed as EncroChat boss "LittleNev" - a leader of a plot involving "at least" 500kg of Class A drugs.
The 29-year-old planned to move abroad as soon as his licence period for a past sentence for trafficking cocaine expired.
Ahead of his big trip Talbot went on a two-week spending spree, buying himself more than £40,000 of Rolex watches.
But detectives swooped on the cocaine, heroin and cannabis dealer as he tried to cross the channel at Folkestone in Kent, on July 20, 2020.
A judge said it was the biggest EncroChat drug case so far in Liverpool and an "extremely grave offence" as he jailed Talbot for 21 years and nine months.
Talbot, of Elson Road, Formby, was locked up alongside James Ward, 32, of no fixed address but from Kirkby, and Jamie Carlton, 40, of Church Road, Waterloo.
Ward went by the name "StableToast", Carlton used the handle "StaleSloth", and another Merseyside man - who is still at large - was called "DampHedge".
EncroChat messages showed 10 weeks of multi kilo trading between April 1 and June 13, 2020 but notes on Talbot and DampHedge's EncroChat devices showed the "full scale" of the scheme, dating back to January 2019.
Talbot, Carlton and Ward all admitted conspiring to supply Class A drugs and possessing criminal property.
Talbot and Ward also admitted conspiring to supply Class B drugs.
Ward was involved in transporting about 48kg of Class A drugs, from March 31, 2020 for about two and a half months.
He was jailed for 15 years and nine months.
Carlton had been involved in transporting 20kg of Class A drugs from May 1, 2020 for five or six weeks. He was jailed for 12 years.
Brandon Broome
Brandon Browne subjected a woman to a violent sexual assault in which he spat in her face and groped her and "foamed at the mouth".
The 20-year-old, of Avondale Drive, Widnes, sobbed as his victim appeared in person to read a statement on the trauma she endured.
When she said she was going to the police after his attack, he threatened her and kept her detained for around four hours at a property in Widnes.
After saying he would let her go in exchange for a hug, "the animal" leaned in and spat in her face - but the victim was eventually able to escape.
Broome, who admitted criminal damage, was convicted after a trial of sexual assault. His past convictions include assaults and harassment.
He was locked up for three years, but Cheshire Police have not released Broome's mugshot.
Shakur Valentino
Shakur Valentino took a teenage woman's knickers as a trophy after trying to rape her.
He put his hand over the mouth of the 18-year-old victim "to silence her protests" as she screamed for help, only for a friend to intervene.
But after he was arrested, he was released by police under investigation and just weeks later raped a gran near London's Piccadilly Circus.
Valentino was previously jailed for 12 years, with an extended five years on licence, for raping that woman, who was in her 60s, in 2019.
This week he was hit with a further five and a half years in jail, with an extended two years, for the attempted rape of his first victim in 2018.
Judge Louise Brandon said "a disturbing feature" of both cases was he "took trophies in the form of items as a reminder of your offending".
After kidnapping and raping the gran in an alleyway he took her leggings and after trying to rape the teenager in St Helens he kept her underwear.
Valentino, 23, from St Helens, denied raping the teen, but on the day she was due to give pre-recorded evidence for a trial, admitted attempted rape.
Leslie Ferguson
Leslie Ferguson took advantage of a man being in hospital to steal his TV so he could buy more drugs.
The heroin and crack cocaine addict missed two previous court appearances because he was incapacitated by drugs.
The 41-year-old later claimed he had failed to attend one sentencing hearing because "there was a contract on his life".
Ferguson, of Argyle Street South, Tranmere, admitted theft in relation to an incident at supported accommodation in Birkenhead.
The victim was in hospital after suffering a seizure but Ferguson entered his room and stole his TV then flogged it for cash.
Ferguson, whose record includes previous thefts, was jailed for 28 weeks.
Barry Warner
Barry Warner sent vile sexual messages to a 13-year-old girl and then accused her of lying when she reported him.
The 51-year-old started chatting to the girl but when it became clear the messages were becoming inappropriate, she drew him in just enough to ensure he incriminated herself.
Warner, of Bedford Road, Birkdale, then panicked - first accusing the girl of lying, then saying it was just a bit of fun, and pleading with her to delete the messages.
The girl showed the messages to her mum, who reported Warner to police.
At first Warner tried to deny everything to officers, claiming it was "bulls***" and that he thought he was chatting to the girl's mum.
But his excuses soon collapsed when it was clear from the messages he knew exactly how old the girl was.
He admitted engaging in sexual communication with a child and was jailed for 12 months.
Stuart Whittaker
Stuart Whittaker burst into a former friend's home and attacked him with an axe in front of his family.
He stormed Anthony Wilson's home, in Turret Road, Wallasey, while armed with an axe and a lump hammer, at around 11.30pm, on June 27, 2018.
Whittaker wounded the dad, in front of his partner Stacy Wilson and their terrified children, after barging past Ms Wilson's terrified 12-year-old daughter.
Police were called and PC Thomas Birkett entered the home, yelled "it's the police" and "put that down" as Whittaker hid, then the officer fired a Taser at the thug, but missed.
Whittaker was originally accused of attempting to murder PC Birkett by swinging the axe at him and chasing him down a street shouting "I will f***ing kill you".
At a trial in 2019 he was cleared of attempted murder, but convicted of attempting to wound PC Birkett with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and wounding Mr Wilson with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
As a result Whittaker, then 34, of Beech Grove, Ellesmere Port, was sentenced to 17 years in prison, with an extended five years on licence.
But those convictions were overturned by the Court of Appeal after it emerged a jury bailiff interfered with the jury's deliberations at Liverpool Crown Court.
Following a retrial in Manchester this May, Whittaker - who has a history of violence and carrying weapons - was cleared of both of those charges.
That meant today he fell to be sentenced for the lesser charge of the wounding of Mr Wilson, which he had admitted back in 2019.
Whittaker, now 37, who has been in custody since June 2018, was jailed for four years, meaning he was released due to time served.
