A judge has called for an investigation after a convicted rapist attacked a woman while absconding from prison day release for a second time.

Neil Trennan, 61, received his third life sentence for assaulting a student during unsupervised day release from HMP North Sea Camp in Lincolnshire last year.

Trennan was first jailed for life in 1991 for breaking into a woman’s home in Sheffield, hitting her with a dumbbell, and raping her while unconscious.

He received a second life sentence in 2002 after escaping a “distracted” prison officer on day release in Norwich and hitting a woman with a brick in a public toilet.

Sheffield Crown Court heard that Trennan had confessed to parole boards of being aroused by violence and enjoying “violent, non-consensual sex.”

In July last year, on day release from Lincolnshire, he traveled to Sheffield, followed a student into her home, and attacked her with a knife. She knocked the knife away and locked herself in the bathroom.

The judge said that if she had not fought him off, Trennan would have subjected her to a violent rape.

On Wednesday, Judge Jeremy Richardson KC, Recorder of Sheffield, imposed a third life sentence with a minimum of 10 years, stating it would likely never be safe to release him.

Judge Richardson called it “very unwise” to allow unsupervised release “given what was known about (him),” adding he had “been given no adequate explanation for the decision” and would send his remarks to the Lord Chancellor, who “may demand one.”

He said: “This is an appalling case of history repeating itself and of insufficient heed being taken of that history when you were placed in open prison conditions.

“That must never happen again. As I have stated you pose immense and enduring dangers to women of acute violence and associated sexual depravity.

“No woman is safe whilst ever you remain at large.”

A registered sex offender from Gillingham has been jailed for using private browsing mode when accessing the internet.

In 2015, Malcom Nix was found guilty of sexual offences involving children and became subject to strict conditions on his conduct. An indefinite sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) was put in place which included strict restrictions around his use of the internet, specifically that any device Nix uses to access the internet must have the capacity to retain and display his browsing history.

Phone review

On 9 September 2025, investigators made a regular visit to Nix’s home address when he refused to allow them entry. He was asked to hand over all internet enabled devices for inspection and gave the officers his mobile phone which was in his pocket.

Officers searched the phone and noticed that Nix had been using private browsing mode which is a direct breach of his SHPO.

On the following day, Malcom Nix, of Trafalgar Street, Gillingham, was charged and remanded in custody.

Imprisonment

He pleaded guilty to the offence at Maidstone Crown Court and on Wednesday 18 February, the 66 year old was sentenced to 13 months’ imprisonment. Nix will also continue to be subject to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.

Investigating Officer, PC Areolito Gashi said:

‘We regularly visit registered sex offenders living in our communities to monitor their conduct and ensure they are complying with any conditions in place to prevent further crimes.‘

In this way, we endeavour to protect the most vulnerable in our community. Nix has shown that he remains a danger to children and, once his crimes were discovered, he was swiftly arrested and brought back before the court to answer for his actions.’

Horsham man Keith Clifton has been jailed for a string of rapes and sexual abuse against a young girl over several years.

Clifton, 58, of Tanyard Close in Horsham, first began abusing his victim when she was four years old, subjecting her to sexualised behaviour and sexual assaults.

On her 5th birthday, Clifton began to rape her, continuing on a regular basis until she was around 13 years old.

Clifton was arrested at his home in 2018 after the victim, who is now a woman in her 20s, approached Sussex Police.

She was given support by specialist officers while a thorough investigation was launched.

He was subsequently charged with six counts of rape of a girl under 13, five counts of assault by penetration, four counts of assault by touching, two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child and one count of causing/inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

Following a two-week trial at Hove Trial Centre concluding on Friday, 23 January, Clifton was convicted of five counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault by penetration and five counts of sexual assault on a child. The remaining charges resulted in a hung jury.

At the same court on Monday (23 February), he was jailed for 22 years and subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order significantly reducing his ability to reoffend.

Detective Sergeant Ellen Jones said:

“This significant custodial sentence reflects the immense harm caused by Keith Clifton to his victim.

“While he will now spend a significant portion of his life behind bars, the trauma this courageous woman must live with is nothing short of a life sentence. The strength she has shown to support this investigation cannot be overstated, reading out her own victim impact statement in court to say she feels ‘she has her life back’.

“I also commend the investigating officer for their diligence in a complex, distressing investigation that has resulted in a successful outcome and another dangerous offender off the streets of Sussex.

“If you are a victim of sexual offending, no matter how long ago, please report it to us. We will do all we can to get you the justice you deserve.”

A perverted 78-year-old pensioner, George Laidler, who offered money to view babies and children being abused overseas in depraved online chats, has been branded a danger and jailed. Laidler, previously imprisoned for child sex attacks, asked about costs for young children to be abused on camera in Africa.

In one conversation with what he believed was a 15-year-old Ghanaian schoolboy, he requested to see sexual activity involving a six-year-old. He also discussed a sex act on a "baby boy," but when told the child was nine, Laidler replied it was "too old."

The vile exchanges were uncovered when a bail hostel worker found a secret phone Laidler, a registered sex offender, should have declared. The device also contained a child abuse video and an extreme pornography image.

Laidler, of Warwick Terrace, Sunderland, admitted attempted sexual communication with a child, three charges of arranging a child sex offence, making an indecent child photograph, possessing extreme porn, and breaching a sexual harm prevention order.

The court heard he was jailed in 2018 for three indecent assaults on children and child abuse images offences. He has now been sentenced to six years and eight months.

Recorder Toby Hedworth told him: "The chat on the phone indicates you were communicating with what you deemed to be individuals in Africa, particularly Ghana and you were seeking from those opportunities to engage remotely in sexual offences with extremely young children.

"Any review of the words exchanged between you and those you were communicating with indicates the most depraved conduct on your behalf and the most depraved desires.

"You are, and remain in my view, a danger to members of the community if you were to have access to children. You are 78 years of age now and I have to have regard to that in terms of when and if you will be able to return to the community."

Defence barrister Shaun Routledge said the chats showed those on the other end were "more interested in getting money out of the defendant."

Ryan Greenhow (20/02/1989) of Oldham has been jailed for seven years and four months at Manchester Crown Square Court today (Tuesday 24 February 2026).

Greenhow pleaded guilty to 22 counts of non-contact child sex offences including child sexual exploitation, sharing images or film to cause alarm, causing or inciting a child aged under 16 to engage in sexual activity and malicious communications at an earlier hearing.

The offences occurred between November 2024 and March 2025 and involved Greenhow contacting six victims via social media platforms including WhatsApp, TikTok and Snapchat.

Greenhow then blackmailed the victims into sending him indecent image. He would send the victims, aged between 12-15, an indecent image, making claims that the image depicted them when it was a picture of a naked woman obtained from the internet, and threatened to send the image to their friends and family if the victims did not do as Greenhow said.

This led to him making demands for indecent images from victims located in areas across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Buckinghamshire.

Greenhow would then send numerous text messages threatening his victims, including saying “This is your last chance, everyone will know this is you” and “I have seen your nudes, add me”.  On some occasions the victim would respond and say that she did not know what they were talking about, but kept receiving messages telling them that it was their “last chance”.

Some of the victims did send Greenhow images and reported his activity to their parents, carers and school teachers.

We are committed to tackling child sexual offending across Greater Manchester. Between April 2023 and May 2025, Snapchat was identified as being the biggest social media platform involved in cases, with it being involved 61% of the time.

Strangers not known to the victim account for almost half (49%) of online offenders, with 22% of all our child sexual abuse offences within GM in 2023/2024 being online, which is slightly above the national picture of 20% being online.

Greenhow will also be made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Detective Constable Adair, of our City of Manchester Division, said:

“Firstly, I would like to thank the victims in this case for coming forward, reporting their ordeal to the police and allowing us to investigate, resulting in today’s sentencing.

“Greenhow used several different social media platforms pretending to be a 15-year-old boy and followed the same method with each of his victims – sending them random images obtained from the internet, falsely attributing them to the victim, then threatening to share the image with the victim’s friends and family in exchange for an indecent image of the victim.

“Once our investigation was underway, detailed phone analysis led to us identifying further victims. Officers worked to safeguard these victims from any further harm.

“This sentencing is part of our wider work to tackle child sexual exploitation and we’re committed to protecting victims and bringing offenders to justice.”

Description

A serial child rapist whose abuse spanned two decades has been jailed for 28 years but refused to attend his sentencing at Canterbury Crown Court, denying his victims closure.

Kevin Wernham, 54, from Ashford, was convicted of 28 offenses—including rape, sexual assault, and causing a child to engage in sexual activity—after a month-long trial in October last year.

Jurors heard how the mechanic, living on a caravan park in Aldington, preyed on young victims, plying one with alcohol, forcing others to watch pornography, and making them perform sexual acts. He even invited other men to join in and told one youngster not to reveal it, calling it their "shared, special grown-up thing."

Victims came forward with similar ordeals, leading to his conviction. The abuse had a "severe psychological and life-long impact," stealing their childhoods, said Judge Sarah Counsell.

One victim's statement, read by prosecutor Paul Valder, described:

"My daily life is a constant battle with emotions and unpredictable negativity—emotions such as rage, sorrow, shame, panic and terror. The quality of my life is marred by severe mood swings, making it a rollercoaster of emotions. I oscillate between feelings of despair and brief moments of positivity. The daily impact on my life is profound and I feel myself in a constant tug of war."

The victim also reported disturbed sleep, nightmares, flashbacks, hallucinations, and an "obsession" that Wernham still posed a threat.

Defending, Sarah O'Kane cited Wernham's health issues and enhanced prison status, arguing for a determinate sentence.

But Judge Counsell, noting a probation report's finding of no remorse and victim-blaming—Wernham maintained innocence, accused victims of perjury, and blamed another man—imposed an extended sentence to protect the public.

Addressing the empty dock, she said:

"These remarks are directed at Mr Wernham, although he has not been willing to attend this hearing to face the consequences of his actions. He was convicted by a jury at trial of what was serious and systematic sexual abuse of children. He took advantage and preyed on his victims’ vulnerabilities… stealing their childhoods. They learnt about sexual behaviour far too early and this will have a life-long impact on them all."

The judge added:

"He has not faced up to his actions" and still blames others. "He has maintained throughout that his victims are not telling the truth about what happened. The jury has found otherwise. He has suggested they had various incentives to lie and that one victim had a financial motive. His behaviour was truly a campaign of rape and sexual abuse against vulnerable children."

The report highlighted Wernham's "controlling, manipulative and distorted thinking," complete denial, no remorse, victim-blaming, and claims of a mistrial with "concocted" evidence.

Deeming him a high risk to children, Judge Counsell imposed a 30-year extended sentence: 24 years' imprisonment (serving at least two-thirds before Parole Board consideration), plus six years' extended license upon release.

This runs consecutively to a four-year determinate term, of which he serves half before the 24-year term begins.

Wernham must sign the sex offender register for life, comply with a sexual harm prevention order, and may be barred from working with children or vulnerable adults.

A teenage girl has been commended for her courage in helping to jail a Kirklees man who seriously sexually assaulted her.

Kirklees safeguarding detectives have welcomed the sentencing of Nico Barraclough, aged 33, at Leeds Crown Court today (23/2) for serious sexual offending against a young teenager in the Kirklees area. 

They praised the victim’s bravery in disclosing what the 33-year-old had done, despite attempts he made to stop her speaking of his crimes.

Barraclough, of Bradshaw Lane, Honley, was sentenced to 11 years in prison with three years extended licence after being found guilty of an offence of rape, causing a child to watch a sexual act, and two offences of engaging in sexual activity with a child.  

The offending took place between between July 2023 and April 2024 when it was reported to police after the victim disclosed what Barralcough had done.

An investigation was quickly launched by specialist officers at the Child Safeguarding Unit resulting in Barraclough’s arrest on 15 April.

Following further enquiries he was charged to appear before magistrates just two days later.

DC Paul Campbell of the Kirklees Child Safeguarding Unit, said:

“We welcome the sentencing of Barraclough for extremely serious sexual offending against a young and vulnerable girl.

“He groomed and exploited her, and also attempted to stop her talking to anyone about the sexual offences he was committing.  

“She has shown real courage in disclosing what took place and then, with her family, supporting both the police investigation, and subsequent prosecution of Barraclough.

“Rather than admit his guilt, despite strong evidence of his offending, he chose to put both her and her family through the ordeal of a trial and this was reflected in his sentence.

“We hope seeing him jailed has brought the victim some closure and comfort, and continue to urge all victims of sexual abuse to contact us.

“All reports are investigated by specialist officers with the victim’s needs at the heart of everything we do.”

A man has been jailed for raping a man in Liverpool city centre.

Ibrahim Momen, 30, of no fixed abode and originally from Sudan, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court today (Friday 23 January) after being found guilty of rape.

In the early hours of the morning on Sunday 29 June 2025, we received a report that a man aged in his 20s had been raped by another male near Liverpool Cathedral, on St James’ Mount.

Following an investigation, Momem was arrested and subsequently charged with rape.

Today he was jailed for seven years and a half years and handed a restraining order.

Detective Constable Chris Condliff, who led the investigation, said:

“Following a lengthy investigation and despite the evidence against him, Momen denied the offences and therefore put the victim through the trauma of a trial.

“I would like to praise the courage and dignity shown by the victim throughout the investigation and court proceedings.

“We are committed to protecting victims of sexual offences no matter what their gender and anyone who reports an incident to us will be safeguarded and supported throughout the investigation by Specially Trained Officers and Sexual Violence Advocates who will provide all the relevant support.

“Anyone that has been a victim of a sexual offence, is concerned for the safety of someone they know or suspects someone to be engaging in this criminal activity, should come forward and speak to us.

“We have a team of dedicated staff who will expertly and compassionately deal with your reports and we will do everything we can to bring offenders to justice.

“We take all such reports extremely seriously, and work with partner organisations such as Victim care Support Service and RASA who are there to support victims if this crime.”

Liam Dennis, 25, from Orchard Drive in Wisbech, has been jailed for five years for rape and sexual assault after forcing himself on a woman following a night of drinking.

He was found guilty after a trial at Leeds Crown Court for the 2021 offence, which occurred while he was a 21-year-old university student in Leeds. Dennis denied the charges and had no previous convictions.

Judge Robin Mairs sentenced him on Monday, February 16, with a £190 victim surcharge.

A man has been jailed for sexually assaulting two women on board Hampshire to London trains, following a British Transport Police (BTP) investigation.

Esosa Eguakin, 31, and of Courtelle Road, Coventry, pleaded guilty to two counts of Sexual Assault at an earlier hearing and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment on Tuesday 10 February at Guildford Crown Court.

He also received a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) which prohibits him from doing a number of things, including sitting or standing next to or opposite any lone women.

The court heard how on 21 August last year, Eguakin was on board a service from Fratton to London Waterloo on the early morning commute just after 7.15am. Eguakin intentionally sat behind a woman in her 30s and sexually assaulted her.

Then on 6 October shortly after 6am on board a service from Eastleigh to London Waterloo, Eguakin sexually assaulted another woman. When she confronted him, he claimed he was trying to retrieve his phone that he had dropped.  

He refused to move away from her, and an off-duty police officer intervened to escort him off the train at Woking.  

The officer arrested Eguakin and kept him at the station until officers arrived and took him to custody.

A subsequent investigation into both offences led by BTP detectives resulted in Eguakin being charged with two counts of sexual assault.

BTP Detective Constable David Stewart said:

“Eguakin’s behaviour was predatory and deeply distressing for both victims. No one should feel unsafe or be subjected to such violations as they travel.

“I want to thank the women involved for their courage in supporting our investigation, as well as the offduty officer whose swift actions prevented further harm. This sentence, along with the SHPO, sends a clear message that we will pursue offenders and ensure they are held to account.”

A man who raped and sexually abused a girl over several years has been found guilty of rape following a retrial at Grimsby Crown Court.

Nigel Bull, 55-years-old, of Patrington Haven in East Riding of Yorkshire was charged with 11 sexual offences in October 2023 relating to a series of non-recent rapes and sexual assaults involving two alleged victims, over a period of seven years.

The case went to trial on Monday 2, September 2024 at Hull Crown Court, which lasted seven days. Bull was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault by the jury however a verdict was not reached on three counts of rape.

In the same trial Bull was found not guilty in relation to both offences alleged by a second victim.

Due to the hung jury, the charges Bull faced in relation to the rape offences were subject to a retrial.

The second trial commenced on Monday, 9 February 2026 which lasted seven days resulting in Bull being found guilty of three counts of rape last week (Monday, 16 February 2026). 

Throughout all legal proceedings, including both trials, Bull maintained a not-guilty plea.

Following his appearance in court last week, he was remanded into custody to await sentencing at Grimsby Crown Court on Friday, 17 April 2026.

Officer in the Case Detective Constable Rebecca Davison from our Protecting Vulnerable People unit said:

“I would first like to commend the victim and their admirable courage and bravery in coming forward, and their patience throughout the entire judicial process.

“Bull is a calculated abuser who refused to take responsibility for his horrific crimes. Instead, he forced his victim to endure the trauma of two separate trials, weaponizing the legal system in a final desperate attempt to exert control, making his victim relieve their ordeal twice over.

“I know that the result at court will not take away the trauma and fear suffered by the person he abused, but I hope it brings a sense of justice that he is going to be in jailed for his crimes

“We take all reports of rape and sexual offences extremely seriously, and we will do everything we can to seek justice for victims and hold those responsible for these detestable crimes to account.

“You are in control, and it is completely up to you who you talk to and what help you get, but just know that there is a wide range of independent and criminal support out there.  If you have been a victim of a sexual offence, I urge you please to tell someone."

A man from Stoke-on-Trent has been jailed for online child sexual offences.

Paul Hamilton, 33, of no fixed address, has been sentenced to one-year-and-ten-months behind bars at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Thursday (19 February) after he admitted two counts of attempting to cause a child aged 13 to 15 to watch or look at an image of sexual activity and two counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.

We arrested Hamilton in December last year after learning that he had been communicating sexually with two different online accounts. He believed both of the accounts to belong to teenage girls at the time.

He admitted to the offences at an earlier hearing in January.

As part of his sentencing, he was put on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and served with a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).

Detective Constable Emily Hanlon, from our public protection unit, said:

“Hamilton sent persistent sexual messages to these accounts, believing them to belong to teenage girls.

“We’re working proactively every single day in Staffordshire to identify perpetrators of these crimes, using a range of tactics to identify offenders and bring them before the courts.

“I’m pleased we’ve been able to put another sex offender behind bars as a result of this investigation.”

Description

A church volunteer who sent more than 8,000 pages of inappropriate messages to a teenage girl and took part in sexual activity with her has been jailed.

Nam Vu, 28, groomed the girl who he knew from a church in Cambridge - but it wasn’t long before her parents became suspicious.

They discovered deleted screenshots on her phone of a sexually explicit nature, and a WhatsApp chat between the pair but all messages had been deleted.

On speaking to their daughter the girl denied any hint of a sexual relationship and said she was just friends with Vu, of Linclare Place, Eaton Ford, St Neots.

However more evidence then came to light, including a handwritten note from the girl found in a book, which detailed sexual activity between them.

The girl then confided in police what had happened to her, saying that Vu had made sexual remarks to her in the messages and encouraged her to take part in sexual activity, as well as touched her inappropriately.

Vu was arrested and interviewed but answered no comment to all questions asked by officers.

His phone was seized and analysed where it was discovered that in six weeks during 2024, there were more than 8,000 messages between Vu and the teenager – most of them sexual in nature.

'Putting my entire life on the line'

The messages highlighted how Vu began grooming the girl, offered to buy her clothes and complimented her.

On multiple occasions throughout the chat Vu acknowledged the girl was under 16, added that she could ‘ruin him’, said how he could go to jail and how he was ‘putting his entire life on the line’.

Vu continued to deny any wrongdoing however, at Cambridge Crown Court in December, eventually pleaded guilty to six offences including:

• Engaging in sexual communication with a child
• Four counts of engaging in non-penetrative sexual activity with girl under 13-15
• Inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity

Vu was sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court on Thursday (19 February) where he was handed a total of three years and four months in prison.

He was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely and given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), with strict conditions to monitor any future offending and contact with children.

Vu was also given a restraining order, to run indefinitely, preventing him from contacting his victim in any way.

'Never able to truly see the danger'

Detective Constable Lara Wycherley, of the force’s Child Abuse Investigations and Safeguarding Unit (CAISU), said:

“Vu engaged in highly sexualised communication with the victim in this case, whilst acknowledging her age and that he was in a position of trust.

“He groomed a vulnerable child for his own gain and his behaviour was utterly disgusting. I would like to praise the parents in this case who realised something wasn’t quite right, and urge other parents and carers to speak to their children about exactly who they are communicating with.

“The magnitude of the effect of Vu’s behaviour cannot be underestimated. In a victim impact statement given to the judge, the teenager told how the persistent nature of the abuse meant she was never able to truly see the danger she was in.

“She added that Vu repeatedly told her to keep quiet and conditioned her to believe that his crimes were her fault.

"Also of importance, she told how the abuse had made her lose all trust in men, changed her perspective on people in a direction that isn’t pleasant, stripped her from her childhood innocence and left an irreparable scar.

“We will do everything in our power to protect children from predators like Vu and, as this case demonstrates, bring them to justice for their actions.”

Description

A 25-year-old man has been jailed after pleading guilty to a sexual offence against a child.

Jason Squibb, formerly of Westfield Road, Yeovil, has been jailed for almost three years after he pleaded guilty to sexual activity with a teenage girl.

Squibb appeared at Taunton Crown Court, sitting at North Somerset Courthouse, for sentencing on Friday 30 January. He was jailed for two years and eight months, ordered to register as a sex offender and handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years.

The court heard how Squibb had used social media platform, Snapchat, to message a teenage girl and groom her with the promise of buying her alcohol.

In October 2021, Squibb intentionally engaged in sexual activity with the victim, who he knew was not over the legal age of 16.

Every person who reports a sexual offence is entitled to anonymity.

The victim’s mother, speaking after Squibb was jailed, said:

“Four years ago, our daughter’s life was changed forever. Since then, she has lived with the profound trauma of the assault committed against her by Jason Squibb.

“However, this sentencing is not about him – it is about the power of finding one’s voice.

“Our daughter was determined to see this legal process through to the end for one specific reason: she knows she is not alone. Even at her young age, she understands that other girls have endured the same pain and carried the same unnecessary shame. Her message to them is clear: you do not have to live in silence.

“Sometimes, bad things happen to good people, but those moments do not define who you are. You deserve to be heard, and you deserve justice.

“As her mother, I am incredibly proud of the strength she has found. To anyone else who may be a victim: please come forward. Every piece of information and every bit of evidence matters. Our children deserve protection, and your voice can help provide it.

“This journey has rocked our family to its core and it has not been an easy road, but we emerge from this stronger than ever.

“We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who worked tirelessly on her case, and to those who supported us leading up to the sentencing.”

Officer in the case, DC Elisabeth Dane from our Internet Child Abuse Team (ICAT), said:

“Squibb groomed a child using the purchase and supply of alcohol in exchange for sexual favours.

“The bravery and courage exhibited by the victim, and her family, has led to a dangerous man being put behind bars, no longer a risk to other girls. We cannot thank her enough for her continued support throughout this investigation and hope she is able to move forward.

“We continue to support the victim in this case and other victims of this form of crime, we will always listen to you and seek to bring dangerous people such as Squibb before a court to get the justice they deserve.”
