Nineties star John Alford' s fall from grace saw him put behind bars for eight and a half years after a jury found him guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child, two counts of penetrative sexual activity of a child, assault by penetration and sexual assault. Once a highly respected and telly heartthrob, Alford's life behind bars looks very different from the fame and lifestyle he once held. He was an in-demand actor appearing in famous shows including Grange Hill and London's Burning.
