Rock drummer David Holland has been convicted of trying to rape a special needs youngster.

Holland was also found guilty of five charges of indecently assaulting the teenager.

The musician, who played with the band Judas Priest in the 1970s and 1980s, was convicted of the charges at Northampton Crown Court on Friday.

Holland, 55, of The Green, Stoke Bruerne, who denied all the charges, was convicted on majority verdicts.

All the offences took place at the drummer's Northamptonshire home between June and December 2002 when he was giving the 17-year-old drumming lessons.

Judge Charles Wide QC said he was very concerned about the risk Holland presented to adolescent boys and remanded him in custody for a pre-sentence report.

"I in particular would be interested in an assessment of the risk Mr Holland poses to adolescent young men," Judge Wide said.

Holland's co-accused, Spiros Laouitaris, 22, of Bourne Crescent, Kings Heath, Northampton, was earlier acquitted of three separate charges of indecently assaulting the same teenager, who is now 18, but who cannot be named for legal reasons.

Wow... the irony here is that once this guy gets sent to prison, he'll get his a$$ cornholed right into his f***ing brainless head by some of the more frisky inmates. That'll teach him a lesson that no legal system can.

I dunno. I heard prison inmates have got it pretty easy in Britain nowadays. Free gym and some of them even get tellys in their rooms and stuff. It's a bloody disgrace.

she_devil, I think wrath was laughing about my comment on how Static-X sucked....

Either way, I'm p***ed at him for it. I mean Priest is defnitely one of the most revered old school Metal bands. To have one of our Metal gods pull this sh*t off, its a big disappointment

Special needs? Is that a nice way of saying the kid's not the whole two bob?

With his sort of fame, why is he not busting moves on every broad in sight? I mean, c'mon. Adolescent males who aren't at all inclined to entertain sexual acts with an aging man, or hot chicks who see the cash and think the guy's a 'deep' musician-type or some sh**. The choice is not even remotely hard.

psythe, I agree, but honestly, I think I'd rather get married before I got big, so at least I know she wasn't just with me for money...

Raping a special needs teen??!?! thats the equivalent of f*cking your mom!!! and notice how it doesnt say if he raped a guy or girl, but says he might pose a risk to adolescent boys. Raping an underage special needs teenage boy.... thats a triple jackpot for being the dumbest fagg*t ever.
