A man has been jailed for 13 years and six months for abducting a four-year-old girl from a remote Western Australia (WA) campsite. Terence Kelly, 37, pleaded guilty last year to taking Cleo Smith from her family’s tent in October 2021. After a huge police search, Cleo was found alive 18 days later at Kelly’s house, minutes from her own home. Kelly was arrested and later admitted child stealing in a case which attracted global attention. Handing down the sentence at Perth District Court, Chief Judge Julie Wager said the crime displayed “the highest level of seriousness”. Kelly will serve more than 11 years before being eligible for parole. The court heard how Kelly kept Cleo at his house for the entire 18 days, in a bedroom with a door modified to be lockable from the outside. He turned up the radio to drown out the noise of Cleo pleading for her mother, the court was told.(BBC)…[+]
