DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES - HATCHER'S UNCLE MOVED TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT

The paedophile uncle of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star TERI HATCHER has been moved into solitary confinement in a Californian prison amid fears of attacks by fellow prison inmates. Prison officials fear RICHARD HAYES STONE, who was jailed in 2002 when Hatcher helped convict him after another girl he abused committed suicide, is a marked man since the details of his crimes appeared in the press. Hatcher, who is now 41, hid the secret of her abuse for over 30 years and hit the headlines last week (begs06MAR06) when she revealed the traumatic experience in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.
