Another nonce, another suspended sentence. 🚨 CHILD ABUSE IMAGE DISTRIBUTOR AVOIDS IMMEDIATE JAIL - SOME VICTIMS AS YOUNG AS 3 Gary Oglesby, 67, of Anlaby Common, used apps to conceal indecent images of children, including a “Secret Photo Vault”, Hull Crown Court heard. His collection included images of a boy aged just 3–5. He admitted six offences of making indecent images of children, alongside distributing indecent images and possessing extreme pornography involving bestiality. Police uncovered evidence that he distributed images via WhatsApp between 2019 and 2020. The material included Category A images — the most serious classification — as well as Category B and C images. Other images dated back to 2009–10. Recorder Taryn Turner said his offending went “significantly beyond simple possession”, warning that viewing and distributing the material sustained demand for abuse that causes children “profound and lasting harm”. His sentence? Two years and eight months in prison, suspended. He must comply with probation requirements, has been made subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will remain on the sex offenders register indefinitely. The children depicted were real victims of sexual abuse. Every image shared circulates their exploitation again, stripping them of privacy and control over the record of their abuse, yet Oglesby will not go straight to prison. Source UK Database.

🚨 VOLUNTEER IMAM JAILED FOR SIX YEARS AFTER SEXUALLY ASSAULTING TWO GIRLS AGED JUST FIVE AND SEVEN Shah Masukur Rashid, 45, exploited his position as a volunteer Quranic tutor at a mosque in Cheltenham to gain unsupervised access to young children in family homes. Between October 2018 and January 2019, he sexually touched two girls, aged five to seven, over and under their clothing. Gloucester Crown Court convicted Rashid of six counts of sexual assault — two involving one girl and four involving the other. His abuse came to light after the children were overheard describing him as “creepy”. When relatives questioned them, the girls disclosed what he had done during their Quran lessons. Rashid was supposed to be teaching children, not abusing the trust placed in him by their families. He was jailed for six years.
