Peter Trayner 75

Description

A “high-risk” Isle of Wight paedophile caught with over 700,000 child sex abuse images back in 2017 has flouted Sex Offenders' Register rules for a fourth time.

Peter Trayner, of Queens Road, Freshwater, appeared before Isle of Wight magistrates on Friday, May 16.

The 75-year-old admitted failing to comply with the notification requirements of the Sex Offenders’ Register, in Newport, on April 26.

Prosecutor, Lauren McConnell, said Trayner was a registered sex offender and deemed as a high-risk offender, convicted of possessing indecent images of children back in February 2017.

As previously reported, he was imprisoned for 29 months after 738,000 indecent images of children were found on his computer.

Ms MsConnell said he was due to register with police on April 26, failed to do so in time, and it was his fourth breach since conviction.

Ms McConnell said his last breach was back in June last year when he failed to register a bank card with police in time, and Trayner was currently subject of two crown court community orders.

Oscar Vincent, defending, said Traynor was required to register on an annual basis.

He said he was elderly and suffers from memory lapses, and he attended the police station on April 29, thinking he was a day early.

Mr Vincent said Traynor was shocked to learn he was in fact two days late.

Traynor, who assured magistrates ‘none of it was deliberate’, saw his case adjourned to June 13 at the Isle of Wight Crown Court.

He was granted unconditional bail until that date.
