Lotto rapist Iorworth Hoare's new love

Lotto rapist Iorworth Hoare has a new love - the ex-wife of a policeman.

Millionaire Hoare, 56, who spent 16 years in jail after a series of sickening sex attacks, claims he began seeing Karen Cameron after she posted him a note asking for a date. He says the mum-of-two often stays the night at his Newcastle home.

A source said: "Hoare absolutely loves it that she was married to a police officer."

The smartly-dressed blonde, who is in her mid-40s and previously married to a policeman, is said to be a frequent visitor to the 56-year-old’s £750,000 mansion.

Yesterday she was believed to be in hiding and had left the terraced home she shares with her 24-year-old son. Her daughter, who is 21, is at university.

Hoare — branded “a risk to all women” by one judge — has served 33 years for a series of sex attacks.

There was a storm of protest four years ago when he bought a lottery ticket while on day release from prison and won a £7million jackpot.

Months later Hoare, who lives near Newcastle, was freed from jail on licence.
