The UK-based parents of British Muslim convert dubbed "Jihadi Jack" for his extremist views were Friday sentenced to 15 months in prison each for funding terrorism by sending money to their son in the war-torn Syria, despite concerns that he had joined the ISIS terror network.
Father John Letts, 58, and mother Sally Lane, 57, were found guilty during a jury trial at the Old Bailey court in London for sending a total of 1,223 pounds to their son Jack Letts while he was in Syria.
They were handed down 15-month sentences each but escaped time behind bars as it was suspended for 12 months as a period of probation.
Judge Nicholas Hilliard told the couple the "warning signs" should have been picked up.
