Teacher Jamie Varley, 37, was found guilty at Preston Crown Court of the murder of 13-month-old Preston Davey.
His partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, 32, was convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Christys questions whether the authorities were too afraid of being labelled homophobic to intervene and prevent the abuse and murder of Preston Davey.
ADOPTION AGENCIES AND SOCIAL WORKERS SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER BE AFRAID OF BEING 'LABELED' HOMOPHOBIC, TO SAY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A high school teacher has been found guilty of the murder and sexual abuse of a 13-month-old baby he treated as a "plaything". Jamie Varley, 37, adopted Preston Davey, at nine months old with his partner, ex-public schoolboy and financial sales manager, John McGowan-Fazakerley, 32.
Varley and McGowan-Fazakerley were approved for adoption and at nine months old Preston began living at their home in Blackpool, Lancs in April 2023.
But in the just under four months he was in their care, he was routinely ill-treated, had indecent images and videos taken of him, sexually abused and physically assaulted, suffering 40 traumatic injuries, the defendant's trial at Preston Crown Court has heard.
Following an eight-week trial a jury spent around 14 hours considering verdicts before it returned to court to deliver verdicts.
Varley of was found guilty of murder, two counts of assault by penetration, five counts of cruelty to a child, grievous bodily harm, sexual assault of a child, 13 counts of taking indecent photos or videos of a child, one of distributing an indecent photo of a child, to his co-accused, and one of making an indecent photo.
McGowan-Fazakerley was found guilty of allowing the death of a child, two counts of child cruelty and one count of the sexual assault of a child.
Social workers and medical staff have been accused of missing a string of opportunities to spot the abuse suffered by baby Preston Davey before he was murdered by his adoptive father.
The 13-month-old died in July 2023, just weeks after being handed to gay couple Jamie Varley, 37, and John McGowan-Fazakerley, 32.
During his time with the pair he was physically, sexually and psychologically abused before eventually being suffocated by having an object placed in his mouth.
Debbie Davey, Preston's maternal grandmother, has questioned whether fears of being accused of homophobia clouded social workers' judgment.
After an eight-week trial at Preston Crown Court, Varley was found guilty of murder, two counts of assault by penetration, five counts of cruelty to a child, grievous bodily harm, sexual assault of a child, 13 counts of taking indecent photos or videos of a child, one of distributing an indecent photo of a child to his co-accused, and one of making an indecent photo.
When Preston was seven months old, the news came through that Varley, a teacher, and McGowan-Fazakerley, a sales rep, had been approved for adoption. The couple, from Blackpool, Lancashire, had been together since 2018 and were considered by officials to be in a loving and stable relationship.
They had started their application in December 2021, and after deferring for a period because of work commitments, were approved in January 2023. The process was handled by Adoption Now, a private company that dealt with adoptions for several local authorities in the North West.
Varley and McGowan-Fazakerley have said they saw Preston on Adoption Now's website and knew immediately he was the little boy they wanted. They visited him for the first time on February 13 and he was formally handed over to them on April 4.
May 25, Preston was taken to hospital. It was the first of three occasions he would be there in a little over a month.
He was admitted with a chest infection after Varley reported he was having breathing problems. A nurse noticed bruises on either side of his forehead and referred it to the hospital safeguarding team, who informed Lancashire Constabulary.
Social workers are adamant no safeguarding concerns were raised with them at the time. A medical report said the injuries were consistent with the version of events the couple provided: that the bruises were accidental.
Two weeks later, Amy Shepherdson, a social worker, wrote in her notes: "The family have experienced a very challenging time with Preston in hospital, however they have managed this brilliantly and have really pulled together as a team."
In mid June, while McGowan-Fazakerley was away on a business trip, Varley took video of a clearly exhausted Preston being kept awake deliberately.
The soundtrack to Moana, a children's film, was playing loudly in the background, and at one point, as Preston started to fall asleep, Varley yelled "boo" at him, frightening him awake.
About an hour later, he recorded another video showing Preston in distress.
Varley claimed it was evidence of a seizure, but prosecutors insisted it was a "trophy video" after he had sexually assaulted the little boy. There were other videos later recovered from Varley's phone depicting alleged cruelty towards him.
In one, he was spinning him violently on a playground roundabout, to the child's obvious distress. He had set the video to Spinning Around, a song by Kylie Minogue.
Another 14-minute video showed Preston in a bath of shallow water whimpering in a distressed state while Varley made no attempt to help or comfort him.
On June 30, Preston was admitted to hospital for a second time with a fever and a rash. Doctors again noticed bruising, but Varley told them the baby was clumsy and bruised easily. He even remarked to medics: "You lot are going to think we have been abusing him or something."
He showed hospital staff a video of Preston pulling a toy box on to his own head. The video had been recorded 12 days earlier so could not have accounted for the bruising.
On July 4, Ms Shepherdson visited the family and noted that Preston was pale and did not seem himself, but no further intervention was sought. Two days later, on July 6, Preston was back at hospital, this time with a broken arm.
Varley told medics he may have accidentally twisted the arm when putting him back into his cot, but he provided a different explanation when describing what had happened to friends.
In a WhatsApp message to the couple, Ms Shepherdson said she had been told about the incident by a paediatrician, but added: "Just to reassure you, she said they have absolutely no concerns."
She later wrote in her notes: "Jamie was beside himself and he was feeling bad about Preston's arm. He was very teary and gaunt-looking."
As a result of the fracture, Helen Magee, another social worker, visited the couple's home on July 7.
Days before his death, Preston was filmed suspended by his neck with fluid coming from his mouth
In her notes, she wrote: "I did watch your [Preston's] responses to your daddies quite carefully as I'm aware that you had a few hospital admissions of late and this made me ponder a little bit as to whether there was a problem I could see. I decided there wasn't."
On July 23, four days before his death, Varley recorded a video of Preston in great distress, hanging over the railing of his cot.
He and McGowan-Fazakerley were both at the house at the time, and prosecutors said the video had been recorded after the 11-month-old baby had been sexually assaulted.
On July 27, the day Preston died, the couple had left him with Varley's mother, Karen Graham, because they had an appointment with a mortgage adviser.
After the meeting, McGowan-Fazakerley went to work in Salford Quays while Varley collected Preston, returning home at about 3pm. Records show he was playing on his phone until 4.37pm, after which there was a seven-minute gap.
Varley said he had probably fallen asleep, but prosecutors suggested those seven minutes were when he sexually assaulted the little boy, placing something in his mouth that stopped him breathing, and eventually resulted in his death.
Afterwards, Varley recorded a video showing Preston lying on his bed struggling to breathe, before returning to social media and messaging a man who wanted to buy a kayak he was selling.
- • number of vaccine types given ≤12 months, and
- • total number of doses delivered ≤12 months.
- Autism prevalence per 100,000 children served as the outcome, and general vaccination coverage rates were statistically controlled so only vaccine intensity and timing were isolated.
- The results were striking but unfortunately expected:
- • Countries such as the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore give ~15 vaccine types and 20 doses before age one — and have the highest autism prevalence (~1,273 per 100k).
- • Countries like Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, and the UK give ~8 vaccine types and 9 doses — and have significantly lower autism rates (~834 per 100k).
- • A 1% increase in vaccine types before age one corresponded to a 0.47% increase in autism prevalence.
- • The regression model (log–log) explained 81% of the variance.
COVID protocols in hospitals killed massive numbers of people on top of the medical system’s usual death toll.
To
be clear, the COVID protocols discussed here are separate from the
COVID vaccine that became widely available in 2021. I am referring to
the treatment protocols—the testing, the drugs, and the mechanical
ventilation of people’s lungs—that defined the 2020 hospital experience.
This article examines the financial incentives the medical system had to kill patients and blame those deaths on “COVID.”
When
a person with flu-like symptoms was advised to go home, rest, and
hydrate, reimbursement was limited to a minimal consultation fee. But if
that same person was admitted under a COVID diagnosis, administered
remdesivir, and placed on a ventilator, the hospital could charge well
over $100,000—and sometimes more than $400,000.
The COVID hospital
protocols functioned as a highly lucrative federal payment pipeline,
where the treatments that generated the most revenue were the ones most
likely to kill you.
Testing (up to $1,419 per COVID test)
Hospital protocols prioritized the administration of remdesivir, a highly toxic drug costing $3,200 per treatment course.
Mechanical ventilation ($50,000+ for destroying your lungs)
After
wrecking a patient’s kidneys and liver with remdesivir, the next stage
of the COVID protocol was the most lucrative and deadly of all:
mechanical ventilation.
The average cost to treat a non-ventilated
COVID patient was $12,700, but by placing the patient on a ventilator,
the average cost skyrocketed to over $65,500.
Mechanical ventilation
was a death sentence. Despite the well-known risks of ventilator-induced
lung injury, hospitals ignored decades of best practices, and kept in a
chemically induced coma while ventilators forced high-pressure air into
their lungs.
The results were catastrophic. In many hospitals, the
death rate for patients placed on ventilators was above 80%. In NY, the
death rate for people over the age of 65 was 97%.
Death
Hospitals could collect well over six figures for killing you— But the death certificate said “COVID.”
