He who covers up a crime is also a criminal. No wonder Maxine Carr, Ian Huntley’s girlfriend, was jailed for three and a half years for perverting the course of justice after her boyfriend was convicted of murdering two 10-year-old boys.
However, Maxine was released early on parole and granted anonymity for life. So what is Maxine’s new identity now? Is there a photo of her? Find the answers below in this article.
Meet Maxine Carr, Ian Huntley’s girlfriend
Maxine Carr was a household name until the Channel 5 series Maxine explored her relationship with her boyfriend, Ian Huntley. On the other hand, Ian was famous for the 2002 murder of two schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham.
For those who don’t know, Ian worked as a janitor at Soham Village College in East Anglia, where Holly and Jessica studied. On August 4, 2002, the two girls decided to launch an investigation without telling anyone, and were unfortunately lured to Ian’s home, where they were murdered.
Ian’s girlfriend, Maxine, also knew the two boys personally, as she was a teaching assistant at an all-girls primary school.
But unfortunately, when Ian was arrested, Maxine made up a story during her testimony to save her boyfriend. But the truth can never be hidden! So when Ian was finally found guilty of the murders and sentenced to two life terms, Carr pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison in 2003.
After serving 21 months in prison, Maxine was released on parole, so given “lifetime anonymity” her life would be in danger if she were identified.
Now speaking of how she met Ian, Maxine met her boyfriend of 3 years at a nightclub in Grimsby in 1999. She was “immediately attracted” to Ian’s confident and personable personality, and began dating him that very night. .
They will soon move into the killer’s apartment in Barton-upon-Humber, North Lincolnshire.
Fun fact: Maxine looked at Ian as he sat in the dock during his murder trial, describing him as “that thing in a box”.
Maxine Carr’s new identity
Maxine Carr’s new identity was revealed online in early 2020. Her assumed pseudonym, location in the country, and details of her job were even posted in a photo (which was quickly removed by authorities).
After that, the police quickly transferred her to a safe house until her relocation could be arranged.
The source mentioned: “The authorities are determined that his new identity is not seriously compromised. The publication revealed its cover. It was as bad as it gets.”
Relocation aside, if Maxine were given a completely new identity, it could cost up to £500,000.
