A bogus dentist who swindled pensioners out of thousands of pounds for home made dentures may escape having to repay any money because he is seriously ill.
Stephen Sickelmore had no formal qualifications but posed as a dentist and charged up to £1,400 for false teeth which were often ugly, ill fitting and painful to wear. He is serving a suspended sentence after admitting the fraud last year but is also facing proceedings to seize his assets under the proceeds of crime act.
