Daniel Sellers, 44-years-old of Thoresby Street, Hull, pleaded guilty to the following offences at an earlier hearing at Hull Crown Court on Wednesday, 20 May 2026:
- Two counts of aiding, abetting, counselling, and procuring/aiding and abetting sexual assault on a male
- Arranging and facilitating the commission of a child sex offence

An investigation was first launched into Drury by Humberside Police after we received a third-party report of concerns of inappropriate behaviour. Further police enquiries, including a detailed examination of Drury’s electronic devices by our Digital Forensics Unit took place, in which multiple indecent images of children were recovered, and it became clear that in addition to this, contact sexual offences had also been committed by him. The analysis of the phone data highlighted to Investigating Officers that the offending was aided, facilitated and abetted by his partner Daniel Sellers. Both Drury and Sellers were arrested in July 2024 and interviewed. The offences were found to be committed upon a child victim over a sustained period of time.
Deputy Chief Constable Baker said:
“These offences were appalling.
“The level of abuse Drury and Sellers subjected the victim to showed complete disregard for their welfare and safety.
“I would like to commend the bravery of the victim who supported a police prosecution and provided a victim personal statement.
“We take all reports of sexual offences extremely seriously and will continue to seek justice for those who have suffered such unspeakable crimes.
“I hope this result reassures our communities that Humberside Police is committed to supporting victims of sexual violence and pursuing offenders with determination.”
