Tough sentence looms for Jan Latham-Koenig

Tough sentence looms for Jan Latham-Koenig

The British conductor today admitted a third charge of attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming. Two other charges had already been admitted.

The judge at Southwark Crown Court ordered him to return next Tuesday for sentencing, saying ‘this requires careful consideration.’

Latham-Koenig, 70, was allowed to remain on bail on condition he remains at his sister’s address in Hampstead and surrenders his passport to police.

He had been arrested at Victoria Station after arranging to meet a person he believed to be a 14-year-old boy.
