'Jihadi Jack' parents guilty of funding terrorism
The parents of a Muslim convert dubbed "Jihadi Jack" have been found guilty of funding terrorism.
John Letts, 58, and Sally Lane, 57, from Oxford, sent their son £223 while he was in Syria despite concerns he had joined the Islamic State group.
An Old Bailey jury found the couple not guilty of sending him a further £1,000 and could not reach a verdict on a third charge of funding terrorism.
The pair each received 15 months imprisonment, suspended for 12 months.
In a statement read by their solicitor, they said: "We have been convicted for doing what any parent would do if they thought that their child's life was in danger."
Muslim convert Jack Letts left his home in Oxford at 18 for Jordan and Kuwait for study and tourism.
