PAEDOPHILE football coach Barry Bennell has lost a challenge against his 30-year prison sentence for child sex offences. Three Court of Appeal judges in London ruled on Wednesday that the length of his jail term for multiple offences against boys he coached was not excessive. He was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court in February for 52 offences.
