A sexual 'predator' used a mobile phone to taking intimate upskirting photos of unsuspecting women and girls in Norfolk pubs, a court has heard.

Andrew Bird also used a dog as a way to get pictures, either by taking them when he bent down to stroke the animals or when his victims did so.

Others were targeted in parks or even in homes where he managed to plant recording devices.

Norwich Crown Court was told the 55-year-old had photographed or videoed at 16 victims - none of who can be identified for legal reasons - over a five year period.

Samantha Lowther, prosecuting, said a number of victims were recorded at the White Horse, in Trowse, and the Black Swan, at Horsham St Faith.

She said Bird, a former Anglian Water engineer, would hold his phone under a table and angle it upwards as women came over to speak to him to capture images of their genitals, buttocks and underwear.

Other victims, including teenage girls, were targeted at various locations including Trowse Common, opposite the White Horse, with Bird taking photos up skirts or loose-fitting shorts.

Another child victim had videos of her taken by Bird while she was getting changed in her bedroom.

And on another occasion Bird planted a video in a caravan which was used to capture footage of a woman as she showered and dressed.

Miss Lowther said the images were discovered after police went to Bird's address in 2023 on an unrelated matter.

Officers found he had backed up images and videos taken on his phone to various hard drives and seized a number of devices.

Bird, formerly of Trowse but now of Scotch Hill, Taverham, appeared in court on Monday after admitting 41 offences.

He pleaded guilty to three counts of voyeurism, or observing a person doing a private act and 17 offences of upskirting or recording images under clothing to observe another without consent.

Bird also admitted 18 offences of attempted upskirting, or operating equipment under clothing of another without consent

He also admitted three offences of making indecent images of children.

Bird has also asked for 20 further offences - between 2018 and 2022 - to be taken into consideration, including six outraging public decency offences, seven attempted upskirting offences and seven upskirting offences.

Jailing Bird for 22 months, Judge Jeremy Donne said no female was "safe from you" with the victims in his offending "ranging from 12 to middle aged".
"You went nowhere without that mobile phone ready to take photographs," he said.

Judge Donne said Bird "knew what he was doing" as once he had recorded images on his mobile phone he downloaded them onto hard drives for his own sexual gratification before deleting them.

Before Bird was sentenced the court heard statements from some of the victims in the case who described the suffering the defendant had caused them.

An adult victim whose daughter was also a victim of Bird's said she had been "devastated" to find out what had happened.

She said her family and her children were her "world" and said it was "sickening" what happened. 

Another adult victim said Bird had "abused trust" and "stole innocence" as a result of which she now has to "look over my shoulder" when she goes out.

She said he had committed the offences in "the most devious, deceitful and calculated" way.

Another adult victim said what had happened to her would "be with me forever".

Another victim described how she feels "violated" and the crimes have had "consequences on every party of my life".

Another victim and the mother of another victim - who was 12 and 13 at the time - said she felt "sickened and violated" by what had happened as a result of the actions of this "predator".

Her daughter, now 15, said she had been "completely oblivious" to what was happening and was "shocked".

The husband and father of two victims said the offender had "destroyed lives" and said he had abused his liberty for his twisted and sickening pleasure".

Andrew Oliver, mitigating, said Bird was entitled to full credit for his guilty pleas.

He said he admitted to police there was "voyeuristic" material present on items seized and he was responsible for it. 

Mr Oliver accepted the impact on each victim had been "profound" and he had caused harm to the victims, their families and friends. 

He said Bird, a father of two, whose own daughter now does not speak to him, sold the family home and moved in with his mother.

He had reduced his alcohol intake and accepted he had sexual gratification from the offences. 

Bird was also made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) for 10 years and put on the sex offender's register, also for 10 years.

A child rapist who bragged he was scarring his young victim for life while he abused them has been jailed for 15 years.

Stephen Fish, 28, had previously been warned about having sex with an underage girl before he groomed, abused and raped another child, Durham Crown Court heard.

Judge Nathan Adams said the abuse was "horrific" and made "particularly disturbing" by Fish's comments, which showed he knew "full well" the impact he was having on the victim.

Fish, from Grange Villa near Chester-le-Street, County Durham, had denied wrongdoing but was found guilty of seven sex offences against a child under the age of 13, including rape.

As he abused his victim, Fish, of West Street, told them he was scarring them for life, Judge Adams said.

In a statement read to the court, the victim said they had may have been "scarred for life" but they would "never be broken" by Fish.

They said they had daily flashbacks of the "nightmare" abuse and their life had been "irreparably changed", adding: "I will likely never be able to have a truly normal life."

But, they said, they got "solace" from Fish being convicted and jailed, adding he would be "unable to hurt any innocent children" again.

'Offender of particular concern'

Judge Adams told Fish: "It's horrific to read out and recite the abuse that took place because you still deny any of this took place."

He said the abuse would have a "lifelong" effect on the victim and Fish's comments were "particularly disturbing" as they showed he knew "full well" what he was doing would have an impact on the victim.

The judge said Fish had been "warned" before about abusing children, having got a caution for having sex with an underage teenage girl when he was 17.

Fish was deemed an "offender of particular concern" and must serve a further year on extended licence upon his release from prison.

He must also sign the sex offenders register for life.

A man from Northwich has been found guilty of grooming and sexually abusing a young boy in the 1990s.

Trevor Leach was unanimously found guilty of 19 counts of gross indecency following a trial at Liverpool Crown Court.

The 65-year-old, of Verdin Avenue, Northwich, has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced on Friday 8 August.

The court heard Leach groomed and sexually abused the victim between 1992 and 1996, starting when the boy was just 12 years old.

The pair initially met while Leach was working at the former Elf garage, which was located opposite Hartford High School.

The victim recalled how Leach would regularly take him out in his car and back to his home, where he would sexually abuse him.

The victim initially chose not to report the incidents to police. However, in 2022 they had a chance encounter with Leach which triggered a number of memories and led them to report the allegations.

Following the reports an investigation was launched by detectives and Leach was questioned in relation to the allegations. Leach admitted that he knew the victim but denied any wrongdoing.

Despite his denial, he was later charged in relation to the allegations.

A pervert who covertly recorded young girls getting undressed at a holiday park has been jailed. Mark Hansen targeted two victims at the Northumberland holiday centre, lurking outside in the dark and filming one unsuspecting girl through a gap in the curtains.

A court heard recordings of a number of girls were found on his phone when police seized it for downloading indecent images of children. Now Hansen, 45, of Denton Avenue, North Shields, who admitted voyeurism and indecent images offences, has been locked up at Newcastle Crown Court.

Police attended his home in September 2022 as a result of information received and seized his phone. On it, they found dozens of indecent images downloaded from the internet over a seven-year period, with the victims aged between four and early teens.

They also found Hansen had made recordings of several unsuspecting young girls. One victim was filmed with a hidden camera as she got undressed.

Another unidentified victim was filmed by Hansen at the Haven holiday park in Berwick. Prosecutor Kevin Wardlaw said: "He used the iPhone to covertly record an unidentified female aged between 12 and 14 while she was undressing. The recording was made from outside a window, through a gap in partially closed curtains. It is apparent she had no knowledge she was being observed or filmed.

"His phone contained another unidentified female in underwear. This film had been taken without her knowledge through a window and the relevant time stamps indicate the time when the defendant was staying at Haven Holiday Park. It is not possible to estimate the age of the child."The court heard another recording was taken of a child sitting on a bench at Flamingo Land. The victim's underwear was visible during the 2 minute and 18 seconds of film, due to the position he held the phone and him moving closer to her.Mr Wardlaw said other images were found on the phone, including four that had been taken through a window, of an unknown girl aged between 13 and 16, without her knowledge, while was partially undressed.

Hansen, 44, who has no previous convictions, pleaded guilty to three offences of making indecent images, two of taking indecent images of three of voyeurism. He was jailed for 18 months and told he must sign the sex offenders register and be subject to a sexual harm prevention order for ten years.

Judge Tim Gittins said: "These were images you took when you were roaming around Haven holiday park in Berwick, sneaking recordings in gaps in partly closed curtains and taking advantage of the darkness outside to take images of a girl while she was undressing."

Matthew Purves, defending, said: "This is a gentleman with no previous convictions or any interactions with the authorities. He acknowledges he has a difficulty with what he is attracted to and it's incredibly rare people will open up to that extent.

"The nature of these offences is inexcusable and he doesn't seek to excuse them in any way. He accepts that from viewing internet material his offending escalated.

"He acknowledges he has an undesirable attraction to children, recognising he has a sexual preoccupation and recognising he needs further support and assistance to avoid further offending."

A Scots rapist ran off into the dark leaving his female victim "crying" from the depraved ordeal following a night at the pub.

On Friday, Kieran Cole, 20, was sentenced to four years behind bars after being convicted of rape last month. The horrific encounter took place in Bonnyrigg's Waverley Park after the Midlothian man spent the night with others at a nearby pub.

Cole, who was 18 at the time, raped his victim before running off into the dark as she was left crying. A nearby homeowner came to her aid and helped her home as Cole returned to a friend's house.

He then went home to his flat in Gorebridge in the company of another female as Lord Summers said Cole was "oblivious" to the gravity of his behaviour.

Following a trial, Cole was found guilty by a jury and a custodial sentence of four years was imposed.

He was also placed on the sex offender's register and given a non-harassment order for an indefinite period.

Lord Summers said: "Mr Goddard KC relied on evidence the jury heard at trial relating to the victim’s level of inebriation and capacity to consent.

"He submitted that evidence thar showed she could communicate with him and impart information relative to a number of matters was relevant to the level of sentence.

"I took the view that this information went to the question of consent and did not have any relevance to sentence save that it demonstrated that aggravating factors that might otherwise have been present were absent.

"After the rape Mr Cole ran off into the dark and left the victim alone in the Park. She was heard crying by a householder who came to her aid and assisted her home. I took the view that this conduct demonstrated a callous lack of concern for the victim.

"Mr Cole meanwhile returned to a friend’s house and in the company of another female returned to his flat in Gorebridge. His conduct showed he was oblivious to the gravity of his behaviour."

In mitigation Mr Goddward KC noted his client had no previous convictions as an extended sentence was not pronounced.

A "dangerous sexual predator" who "openly stated a preference for victims as young as eight" has been jailed.

David Mitchell thought he was messaging somebody else with a sexual interest in children but was in fact speaking to a police officer.

The 57-year-old, of Leyland, Lancashire, was then arrested at his house on 17 February.

He was jailed at Preston Crown Court for six years after admitting attempting to cause or incite a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity and facilitating the sexual exploitation of a child under 13.

During the online exchanges, Mitchell told how he wanted to witness the abuse of a child in exchange for payment through gift cards, the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit said.

'Deeply disturbing'

Det Con Tris Farley said following Friday's sentencing: "This case demonstrates the commitment of our regional units to identifying and prosecuting individuals who pose a serious threat to children.

"Mitchell's messages exposed a deeply disturbing and calculated intent to exploit children.

"He openly stated a preference for victims as young as eight years old and provided explicit instructions for what he wanted to witness online.

"He is a dangerous sexual predator who now finds himself behind bars."

A man from Calderdale who sexually abused three young girls has been jailed for almost 22 years.    

Malcolm Holland, aged 66, of Carlton Street, Halifax was charged with 14 counts of sexual offending against three young girls, the youngest was seven years of age.    

Holland was arrested in April 2021 after the first victim came forward to report the offending. 

Calderdale District Safeguarding Detectives then launched an investigation, and two further victims were identified as part of enquiries in Holland’s offending. 

All three girls were between the ages of 7 and 14 at the time of the abuse, which happened between 2002 and 2021.      

He was charged in November 2023 with 14 counts including indecent assault, six counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, five counts of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity and two counts of attempting to commit rape.  

He appeared at Bradford Crown Court on Monday 9 June 2025 and following a seven-day trial was unanimously found guilty by a jury of all counts.    

Appearing before the court for sentencing on Friday 20th June, Holland was sentenced to 21 and a half years in prison, extended by two years on licence. He will also be ordered to sign the sex offenders register indefinitely and has a Sexual Harm Prevention Order which will also remain in place for the duration of his life.

A man who sexually abused a girl over a four-year period has been jailed for nine years.

Daniel Brundell, now of Lode Avenue Bungalows, Upwell, near Wisbech, was sentenced for sexual offences when he appeared at Lincoln Crown Court on Monday, 23 June. His victim was under 13 years of age when the offending began.

The 60-year-old pleaded guilty to five offences: sexual assault, two of inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity and two of inciting a girl between 13 and 15 to engage in sexual activity, when he appeared before court officials this morning.

Nine further charges, dating from 2014 to 2020 - including taking an indecent photograph of a child - were ordered to lie on file.

He was also given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a restraining order.

Detective Constable Charlie Walmsley said: “This sentencing reflects the serious and devastating impact these offences have on the lives of victims and their families.

“I want to commend the incredible bravery of the victim and the support from their family throughout the investigation.

“The victim has shown remarkable courage.

“We are committed to ensuring that those who commit such abhorrent crimes are held accountable, and we hope that this outcome provides some sense of justice and closure.

“Protecting the most vulnerable in our communities will always remain our highest priority.”

Description

A "sadistic" sex offender who was found guilty of a number of child sex offences, including rape, has been locked up.

Connor Laud, 27, of Hull, was convicted by a jury of the rape of a child under 13 and two counts of inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity following a trial at Grimsby Crown Court last month.

At a sentencing hearing on Thursday, June 19, Laud was jailed for 16 years and was placed on the sex offenders register for life with a lifetime sexual harm prevention order.

He came to the attention of officers after Humberside Police received a report that a child had disclosed the nature of the sexual abuse they had been subjected to.

Arrested and interviewed by detectives, Laud denied all allegations of abuse put to him, claiming the child must have become confused. He also denied having a sexual interest in children.

However a jury returned guilty verdicts following a four-day trial in May.

Leading the investigation, Detective Constable Gayle Allwood said: “I’d like to praise the child, and their family for their bravery, I cannot begin to comprehend how they have felt throughout the entirety of this investigation.

“Laud is a perverted and sadistic man and, whilst this sentence does not take away the pain and trauma induced, it is because of the family's sheer courage that he is going to be behind bars for a very long time.

“When ready, we urge victims to come forward and tell someone, report these crimes to the police and we will do everything we can to hold those accountable.”

THIS ‘committed paedophile’ has been jailed after he was caught with “the vilest possible” child sex abuse images on his phone.

Emyr Edwards, 36, from Gorslas, appeared at Swansea Crown Court having been accused of making and distributing pictures and videos of child sexual abuse.

He was jailed for two years and four months after Judge Paul Thomas KC dismissed Edwards’ account and his claim that he did not have a sexual interest in children.

“In many years of hearing and sitting in crown courts, I have never listened to a more hopeless, wholly unconvincing account,” he said.

“Your account made no sense whatsoever.

“You are a committed paedophile.”

Edwards pleaded guilty to distributing a Category A indecent image, as well as making Category A, B, and C indecent images, but entered a basis of plea which was not accepted by the prosecution.

This basis was dismissed at a Newton Hearing, and Edwards was ordered to return to court to be sentenced.

Edwards was caught in possession of one Category A image – the most serious type, two Category B images, and one Category C image between June 2022 and April 2023.

Prosecutor Sian Cutter said there was evidence Edwards had made “deliberate searches” for serious images of abuse, and bragged that he was part of a network which shared indecent material.

He was also accused of distributing a Category A video to three people. The court heard that Edwards was caught after one of those people reported him to the police.

Judge Thomas said the images Edwards had and shared were “of the vilest possible kind”.

“Young boys being effectively raped somewhere in the world so that people like you could masturbate over them,” said the judge.

“The material that you distributed, you clearly gained sexual enjoyment from.”

“Nothing I could say about the offence itself could assist,” conceded James Hartson, appearing for Edwards.

He said the defendant had been subject to unrelated allegations – for which he was acquitted of – and had been under “stress” during that period.

He added the messages about the ‘network’ Edwards said he was involved with were perhaps examples of “braggadocio”.

Mr Hartson added that Edwards, of Penygroes Road, was previously of clean character, and there had been a delay of two years in the case coming to court.

Edwards was jailed for 28 months. He must register as a sex offender for 10 years, and was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order for the same period.

Description

‘Vile offender’ Daniel Gravell from Carmarthenshire has been sentenced today (June 23) to nine years in prison for “truly wicked” rape and voyeurism offences.

Forty-three-year-old Daniel Gravell, of Johnstown, Carmarthen was found guilty of raping a woman in 2002 and admitted to voyeurism following a two-week trial at Swansea Crown Court that concluded in May this year.

Recognising the lasting impact of the rape offence committed in 2002, the Judge said: “The offence of rape, and the violation which is needed to commit such an offence, is one that nearly always leaves a scar – and a scar which, very often, is lifelong.”

Upon sentencing the rapist to nine years behind bars, the judge condemned Gravell’s attack, describing it as a “truly wicked, and terrible thing to do to another human being”.

Gravell committed the rape in 2002 when his 19-year-old victim was enjoying a night out with her friends in Carmarthen. During the evening, the young woman complained about feeling unwell and was taken home.

At trial, the court heard how the victim woke up at her friend’s house to the horrific realisation that Gravell was raping her. It was heard how she told Gravell to stop but was unable to push him off. The victim explained to the court how Gravell said ‘it’s ok, it’s ok’ and that he was her boyfriend.

Giving a statement at court today, the victim explained how she was “extremely vulnerable” on the night she was raped, and recalled an “overwhelming sense of powerlessness” when Gravell carried out the attack that she described as “unforgiveable”.

Gravell admitted to a separate count of voyeurism in 2021 against a woman he had consensual sex with, before taking naked photos of her without her knowledge or consent.

Describing Gravell as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”, the victim explained how she felt “disgusted” and “violated in the worst possible way” upon discovering that Gravell had taken those intimate photographs of her.

Daniel Gravell was sentenced to eight years and six months for the rape, followed by a further six months in jail for the voyeurism offence.

Description

A man has pleaded guilty to making hundreds of indecent images of children, including dozens of the most serious kind, over a period of two years in Bristol.

James Kelvin now faces the prospect of a possible prison sentence following an appearance at Bristol Crown Court today (Monday, June 23).

Kelvin, of South Road, Goldsithney in Cornwall, was living in Bristol at the time of the offences.

Judge James Patrick heard that between November 15, 2019 and October 8, 2021, Kelvin had created 640 indecent images of children that were classed as ‘Category C’ severity, another 46 images classed as ‘Category B’, and 37 that were classed as the most serious ‘Category A’ images, included two that were video clips.

In an earlier hearing at Bristol Magistrates' Court in May, Kelvin had pleaded guilty to other charges - one of making pseudo-photos which were indecent images of children, and another of voyeurism.

The judge released Kelvin, 51, , who is originally from Bishop’s Stortford, on conditional bail after ordering a pre-sentence report to be made on him. Kelvin was ordered to co-operate with the compiling of that pre-sentence report and warned that when he returns to be sentenced on August 21, he could be given a prison sentence.

DNA found on a schoolgirl's underwear led an outwardly respectable family man being unmasked as a "monster".

Dean Bradley's barrister said his client realises he had "stolen" his victim's innocence and is deeply ashamed of what he did.

Bradley was handed a special custodial sentence as an offender of particular concern and will be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life.

Carina Hughes, prosecuting, told Swansea Crown Court that Bradley's offending came to light when the girl's mum did the washing one day and noticed a "yellow-white discharge" on a pair of her daughter's knickers. The concerned mother spoke to the primary-school aged girl who broke down and made disclosures about the defendant performing sex acts on her and showing her "sick, weird" videos of people having sex. The girl said the abuse had happened on a number of occasions.

The court heard Bradley later told someone the child was "like my little girlfriend". He then exposed his penis and threatened to cut it off with a knife.

The police were contacted and the girl's clothes were seized for forensic examination. The court heard the defendant's DNA was found on the girl's underwear.

In a statement from the girl's mother which she read to the court in person she set out the effects of the abuse on her daughter and the wider family. The mum described Bradley as a "monster of a man" who "psychologically groomed" her daughter and planned his abuse of her. She said the defendant's actions had turned her daughter's life upside down and "distorted" her understanding of adults, and she described him as "a danger to society and all children".

Dean Thomas Bradley, aged 36, of Lime Grove, Cimla, Neath, had previously pleaded guilty to three counts of assault by penetration of a child under 13 and three counts of causing a child to watch a sexual act when he appeared in the dock for sentencing. He has no previous convictions.

Matt Murphy, for Bradley, said the defendant's pleas meant the complainant had not had to relive what happened to her at a trial. He said his client feels a "deep sense of shame" for what he did and accepts his actions have "stolen" the girl's innocence, self-respect and self-worth.

With discounts for his guilty pleas Bradley was made the subject of a sentence of 12 years and eight months comprising 11 years and eight months in custody followed by an extended 12-month licence period. He will be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life and was made the subject of an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.

Speaking after the sentencing South Wales Police detective constable James Carver said: "Dean Bradley carried out a horrific attack against a defenceless child. We commend the bravery of the victim in having the courage to speak up having lived with this awful experience. We hope that they will no longer have to live in fear of Dean Bradley."

A sex offender stripped naked and then touched a 'screaming' little girl in a Stoke-on-Trent street in a terrifying New Year's Eve incident.

Daniel Clift - who has 69 previous convictions for 135 offences - was completely nude when he spotted the six-year-old child getting out of a car in Fenton.

As the youngster tried to get back in the vehicle, 36-year-old Clift touched her on her head and shoulder and grinned and laughed as he did it. Police arrived and found him still naked talking to people outside a pub.

He was arrested and later told probation he was under the influence of monkey dust at the time. Now Clift has been jailed for three years at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.

Prosecutor Antony Longworth said the incident happened at 9.40pm on December 31 as a mum was taking her child to a shop. The girl got out of the car as the mum was getting her purse from the passenger seat footwell.

Mr Longworth said: "She saw the defendant naked walking on the street. She shouted to her daughter to get back in the car. The child was standing by the front window of the car.

"She was making her way into the car and had one hand on the door handle when the defendant placed his right hand on the child's head and moved his hand down the side of her shoulder. He was seen to be grinning, smiling and laughing as he did it.

"It was a deliberate act. The mum called 999. The child was upset and screaming, 'When can we go home? Why did he touch me? Is it safe for me to get out of the car?'.

"Police went to the scene. They found the defendant naked. He was arrested. He was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. His eyes were very wide and his pupils dilated."

In a victim statement the child's mum said the youngster was traumatised and too scared to get out of the car. She said: "She keeps asking me why a man was walking around naked and touching a child like he did to her.

"I cannot believe he has done it before. I do not feel safe taking her out or letting her play out with her friends."

Clift, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to exposure, breach of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and common assault. The court heard he has numerous previous convictions for exposure.

Adam Watkins, mitigating, said Clift lost his parents when he was aged five and six and he grew up in the care system. He has significant mental health issues and has been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. Mr Watkins said: "He has not helped himself by taking illegal substances up to and including monkey dust.

"He has been in custody for six months or so. He has been reflecting. He wants to work with the authorities and groups to get his condition and his behaviour regulated. The girl was harmed psychologically. It was fleeting.

"He cannot explain why he acted as he did. He cannot explain, let alone justify, but the evidence has roots in substance misuse and mental health difficulties. There was no pre-planning or forethought in this offence."

Judge Richard McConaghy said: "On May 5, 2022 you were made the subject of a SHPO. It restricted your contact with children. On the evening of December 31 you were walking naked on the street. You saw a girl who had just got out of a car. Because of your appearance she was getting back into the car. You touched her on her head and down on to her shoulder. You were grinning and laughing as you did it.

"When the police found you were standing still naked outside a pub talking to people. The girl was traumatised.

"This is the 70th time you have found yourself in front of a criminal court. This is the fourth time that you have been convicted of an offence of exposure.

"I take the view that this is a very serious breach of the SHPO. Not only did you have contact with a child. You did so by approaching the child while you were naked and you committed a criminal offence of assaulting her. Your offending is aggravated significantly by your previous convictions and by the fact you were intoxicated by monkey dust at the time."
