A mother-of-three who was spared a prison sentence in 2023, after grooming a 15-year-old boy into a s*xual relationship while supplying him with alcohol and drugs is pregnant with her fourth child.

And the father to be is fully aware of her sordid and perverted past and is completely ok with it

Nicole Lines, from Ramsgate, was 28, when she invited the 15-year-old boy to her home before supplying him with alcohol and cannabis, so she could manipulate him into s*xual activity

Lines admitted two counts of s*xual activity with a child, three counts of possessing indecent images of a child, and supply and possession of a Class B drug.

The indecent images were of the boy she groomed.

After her conviction in 2023, Lines lost custody of her three children.

A s*x offender who r***d a vulnerable woman before going on to s*xually assault another woman while he was still under investigation has been jailed for 12-and-a-half years.

Barrie Hartley, 45, of Rimswell Holt, Greengates, Bradford, s*xually assaulted and later r***d his first victim when she was particularly vulnerable.

The devastating attack left her hysterical.

When police arrested Hartley, he denied having any s*xual contact with her.

But forensic evidence told a different story.

His DNA was discovered on her clothing.

In a powerful victim impact statement read to Bradford Crown Court, the woman revealed the enormous psychological toll the r**e has taken on her life.

Her words laid bare the damage:

“The person I was before no longer exists.”

She described existing in a constant state of fear which was “persistent, overwhelming, and inescapable.”

The impact, she said, reaches into every part of her life — and she continues to live with what Hartley did to her every single day.

But while Hartley remained under investigation over the first woman's ordeal, he targeted another woman.

He s*xually assaulted his second victim and, when arrested, once again denied the offending.

Hartley's second victim described the consequences as “devastating and lasting.”

She told the court she had been left carrying a profound sense of shame and humiliation, with the attacks damaging her self-worth as she struggles to rebuild her life.

His Honour Judge Christopher Smith sentenced Hartley to six years for the r**e.

But that was not the end of his punishment.

Hartley received a further six-and-a-half years for the later s*xual assaults on his second victim, bringing his total prison sentence to 12½ years.

Appearing by video link from HMP Leeds, Hartley was told by the judge that there were “very real concerns” about him.

The judge considered imposing an extended sentence on the grounds of dangerousness but ultimately decided that the risk Hartley presents could, he hoped, be adequately managed through licence conditions once Hartley becomes eligible for release.

Hartley will be required to register as a s*x offender for life.

A restraining order will also remain in force for life.

Two women were left dealing with the lasting consequences of his s*xual offending.

Hartley is now beginning a 12½-year prison sentence.

A woman that s*xually abused an eight-year-old girl on a video call, to the delight of her boyfriend has been released from prison for a second time, and is now living in Leeds under a fake name

In 2021, Danielle Schofield and her partner Robert Stanley, were sent to prison for four-and-a-half years and three years and four months respectively

The couple were arrested by the National Crime Agency after the pair had a video call in 2019 where Schofield was abusing the child and Stanley took screenshots.

But the horrifying evidence did not end there.

The pair also fantasised about keeping a child as their "s*x slave".

Other indecent images of children were found on the couple's phones following their arrest.

At Bradford Crown Court, the duo admitted arranging/facilitating the commission of a child s*x offence, s*xual assault of a child under the age of 13, taking indecent images of children and distributing indecent images of children.

Danielle Schofield. formerly of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, is currently housed in supported accommodation in the Halton Moor suburb of East Leeds, West Yorkshire, which is close to three schools

She was released from prison for a second time as she breached her previous release condtions. However, she is now back on the streets

She is using the fake name of 'Trixie Rose', in a bid to hide her identity and her sick crimes

Leo Russell of Bradford, was convicted of r**e and sentenced to 29 months behind bars. He was also placed on the S*x Offenders Register for 10 years.

The conviction brought an end to a case involving a young female who says her life was shattered when she and Russell were both just 14 years old.

She described months of fear, violence and controlling behaviour — allegations Russell denied.

She says she was repeatedly beaten, isolated from her friends and subjected to relentless control, with Russell allegedly demanding that she remain on the phone to him constantly.

According to her account, putting the phone down could have terrifying consequences. She says Russell would find her the following day and assault her, leaving her frightened of speaking out about what was happening.

When she eventually found the courage to tell others, she says the threats escalated.

She alleged Russell threatened to kill her and her family if she revealed what had been happening.

Her family had trusted him. They had welcomed him into their home and treated him as one of their own.

Behind that trust, however, was a devastating reality that would ultimately end up before a jury.

Russell denied the allegations against him.

But following the r**e trial, he was convicted.

The victim described having to relive deeply traumatic events as the case went through court.

She says Russell smirked during proceedings, showing what she perceived as a complete absence of remorse.

But when sentencing day arrived, his demeanour changed.

The smirk was gone.

Russell cried as he faced the consequences of his conviction and the loss of his freedom.

For his victim, however, the consequences did not begin in a courtroom and will not simply disappear with the passing of a sentence.

She says she carried what happened to her for years.

Russell denied the allegations, but a jury ultimately convicted him of r**e.

He tried to escape responsibility.

The jury didn't believe him.

On 31 July, the Leeds Court imposed its sentence: 29 months in prison and 10 years on the S*x Offenders Register.

A pa******le jailed for taking thousands of pictures of children and using AI software to "nudify" them was repeatedly allowed to return to his home overlooking the playground he targeted.

It meant victims of Zafer Dogan, from Enfield in north London, were living close to the 32-year-old, who admitted multiple offences.

Dogan, who works as a mechanic, previously pleaded guilty to multiple offences, including making indecent images of children.

According to the police, he had taken more than 5,000 pictures, many from his bedroom window.

Detectives established Dogan had taken photos of women and children in ordinary circumstances before using AI to turn them into s*xually explicit images, including by removing their clothing.

Many of the photos were taken from his bedroom window, which overlooked a children’s playground. Other photos appear to suggest he also followed women and schoolchildren in the surrounding area.

A limited number of those photographed have been identified and are receiving specialist support, but officers still need to identify many more. They are appealing for potential victim-survivors to come forward.

The mother of a victim under the age of eight described feeling "helpless", adding: "Our lives will never be the same again and I can't do anything about it all because one man exploited my child."

The mother of a teenage victim said it was as if she had been "punched in the gut" when police officers told her what had happened.

She added: "I'm really worried that my daughter's photos are online and other pa******les have them."

A pa******le has been jailed after s*xually assaulting a girl who was aged under 13

Simon David Evans, 39, was found guilty at Stafford Crown Court of s*xual assault of a girl under 13 and four counts of assaulting a girl under 13 by touching.

Police were alerted to the s*xual attack when a family member of the survivor came forward.

On Friday, September 18, Evans was found guilty of the crimes at Stafford Crown Court and was handed a six-year extended prison sentence on Friday, September 18.

A 15-year S*xual Harm Prevention Order also issued.

A s*x offender who posed as a police officer to s*xually assault two terrified 16-year-old girls has been jailed after using a fake “search” to get his hands on the teenagers.

Aaron Grimshaw, 23, produced a wallet bearing a metal emblem and falsely claimed he was a police officer before threatening the girls with being taken to a police station or having their parents called if they refused to be searched.

But the supposed “police search” was a lie.

Grimshaw used the deception to s*xually assault both teenagers underneath their clothing.

And when one of his victims protested and her friends intervened, Grimshaw was captured on video claiming:

“She consented.”

He then claimed he would call for uniformed officers before walking away.

The sickening encounter happened on Friday, May 22, after the two 16-year-olds attended a gathering at Tutshill Recreation Ground in Gloucestershire.

The court heard Grimshaw approached them in a wooded area and announced that he was a police officer who needed to search them.

He produced a wallet containing a metal emblem to reinforce the lie.

Grimshaw then warned the teenagers that refusing his demands would mean being taken to a police station or having their parents contacted.

Both girls were frightened about what would happen if they refused.

Under the pretence of carrying out the “search”, Grimshaw s*xually assaulted them by touching their breasts, legs and bottoms beneath their clothing.

One victim finally shouted words to the effect of:

“No, stop. I am not OK with this.”

Her friends were alerted and gathered around Grimshaw, recording what was happening.

That footage would help expose him.

Police were contacted later that day and Grimshaw was identified from the recording and the clothing he was wearing.

He was arrested, questioned and charged with two counts of s*xual assault on a female.

Grimshaw appeared at Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court on May 25 and pleaded guilty to both offences.

He was initially released on bail under conditions banning him from having unsupervised contact with anyone under 18.

But the Gloucestershire attacks were not the only s*xual offences before the court.

At sentencing, Grimshaw received one year in prison for the attacks on the two 16-year-old girls.

He was also handed an additional four-and-a-half years behind bars, to run consecutively, for separate s*xual offences investigated by West Yorkshire Police.

Those offences included s*xual assault on a female, s*xual activity with a child, s*xual communication with a child and making indecent photographs of a child, all of which Grimshaw had admitted.

The consecutive sentences mean Grimshaw was handed a combined prison term of five-and-a-half years.

He was also placed on the S*x Offenders Register indefinitely and made subject to an indefinite S*xual Harm Prevention Order.

Grimshaw had attempted to exploit the authority and trust associated with a police uniform he did not possess.

But when one teenage victim spoke out and her friends started recording, his bogus police act began to unravel — and the evidence helped lead officers straight to him.

An NSPCC helpline manager who arranged to meet a boy he believed was just 14 for s*xual activity walked into a police trap after turning up for the encounter.

Leighton Camara, 38, of St Francis Close, Prestatyn, believed he had been exchanging s*xual messages with a teenage boy called “Sam”.

But there was no 14-year-old waiting for him.

“Sam” was actually an undercover law-enforcement operative — and when Camara arrived at the arranged meeting place in Rhyl, police were waiting instead.

Mold Crown Court heard that, at the time of the offending, Camara was employed as a manager of an NSPCC helpline. He also told police that he volunteered at a youth group.

Despite the disturbing circumstances of the offence, Camara avoided immediate imprisonment after being handed a 15-month prison sentence suspended for two years.

The judge warned him he had come “incredibly close” to being sent straight to prison.

Prosecutor Mark Connor told the court that an operative was posing as a 14-year-old boy called Sam on Grindr when Camara made contact on November 15, 2023.

The conversation subsequently moved to Snapchat.

The court heard that even after Camara was told “Sam” was 14 years old, the messages became s*xualised.

Camara asked for a photograph and described “Sam” as a “hot lad”, before discussing s*xual acts he would perform if they met.

He eventually arranged to meet the supposed teenager at a location on Ffordd Derwen in Rhyl at 8.30pm.

Camara turned up. So did the police.

Officers arrested him in a car park after, prosecutors said, he arrived believing he was about to meet “Sam”.

When questioned, Camara claimed he thought the person in the photograph looked between 16 and 18 and maintained that he had only intended to “say hello”.

Camara admitted arranging or facilitating the commission of an offence of s*xual activity with a child.

The court also heard that alcohol and co***ne were concerning features of the case. There was no separate penalty for possession of the Class A drug.

His Honour Judge Simon Mills sentenced Camara to 15 months' imprisonment, suspended for two years.

He was made subject to a S*xual Harm Prevention Order and will be subject to s*x offender notification requirements for ten years.

Camara was also ordered to complete the Building Better Choices programme, undertake up to ten days of rehabilitation activity and wear an alcohol abstinence monitoring tag for 120 days.

A man working as a manager for a helpline run by one of Britain's best-known child-protection charities had arranged a s*xual encounter with someone he believed was a 14-year-old boy.

Instead, he walked straight into the hands of police.

A Cornish ra**st with a s*xual interest in be*******ty and described by a judge as “clearly dangerous to young girls” has been jailed after a disturbing catalogue of r**e and s*xual offending involving two young women.

Bradley Fitzpatrick, 22, of Kinsman Estate, Bodmin, was sentenced to 12 years after being convicted of a string of serious s*xual offences.

Truro Crown Court heard Fitzpatrick r***d his first victim in an alleyway in Bodmin in December 2021, when he was just 17.

But the offending did not end there.

While on police bail in connection with that attack, Fitzpatrick went on to r**e a second young woman in woods near Bodmin in June 2022.

When police arrested him again and examined his phone, investigators uncovered further disturbing material.

Officers found Category A indecent images of children — the most serious classification — and Category C images, as well as extreme pornographic material involving humans engaging in s*xual activity with animals.

The court heard that one of the videos involving an animal depicted a 12-year-old girl.

Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty to two offences of making indecent images of children and one count of possessing extreme po*******hy.

Following a trial, he was also convicted of three counts of r**e, three s*xual assaults, two counts of s*xual assault by pe*******on and one count of causing a person to engage in s*xual activity without consent.

The court heard Fitzpatrick met his first victim, who was then in her late teens, at a garage in Bodmin in December 2021.

They began walking together before Fitzpatrick s*xually assaulted and r***d her.

The young woman returned home and told her boyfriend what had happened, and the attack was reported to police.

When questioned, Fitzpatrick initially denied even meeting her that day.

But after being confronted with forensic evidence, his account changed. At trial he admitted s*xual contact had taken place but claimed it had been consensual.

The jury rejected his case.

In 2022, Fitzpatrick met his second victim, who was aged between 16 and 18 at the time.

On two occasions, consensual s*xual activity began before the young woman withdrew her consent and made that clear.

Fitzpatrick ignored her and r***d her on both occasions.

He also s*xually assaulted her during a separate incident.

When detectives questioned him, Fitzpatrick again maintained that the s*xual contact had been consensual.

His Honour Judge James Adkin concluded Fitzpatrick posed an ongoing danger.

The judge said Fitzpatrick had a s*xual interest in children being abused by adults and that his crimes had caused significant harm to his victims.

He found that Fitzpatrick posed a future risk to women and a high risk of reoffending, describing him as:

“Clearly dangerous to young girls.”

The judge also said Fitzpatrick had “lied profusely and with ease.”

Fitzpatrick was sentenced to nine years in custody with a further three-year extended licence period, making a total extended sentence of 12 years.

He was also handed a 20-year S*xual Harm Prevention Order and 20-year restraining orders banning him from contacting his two victims.

He will remain on the s*x offenders’ register for life.

A pervert taxi driver who spoke to a "schoolboy" about a taxi ride in exchange for s*xual favours has been spared jail.

David Richardson, 31, believed he was sending s*xually explicit messages to a 14-year-old boy.

He asked whether anyone else could see the boy’s phone, sent explicit images and referred to s*xual activity.

But the person receiving the messages was an undercover officer from the North East Regional Organised Crime Unit.

Investigators identified Richardson partly through details visible in the images he sent, including his room and trainers.

He was arrested at his Denton Burn home on July 17.

Richardson admitted attempting to cause a child to watch images of s*xual activity and attempting to engage in s*xual communication with a child.

At Newcastle Crown Court, he received a 12-month prison sentence suspended for two years.

He must also comply with s*x offender notification requirements and a S*xual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years.
