ANDREW ROBINSON'S SHOCKING CRIME IN STOCKPORT: PAEDOPHILE STRIKES AGAIN DESPITE PAROLE RESTRICTIONS

In December 1999, a disturbing case emerged involving Andrew Robinson, a man with a troubling history of sexual offenses against minors, who managed to reoffend despite being under strict supervision. Robinson, aged 38 and residing in Stockport, was previously convicted of sex crimes involving young children and was placed on the Sex Offenders Register as part of his parole conditions.

Robinson’s criminal record and supervision were supposed to serve as safeguards to prevent further harm. He was released from prison on licence after serving only half of his 30-month sentence, which meant he was subject to certain restrictions and was required to keep police informed of his whereabouts. However, the conditions of his release did not include any obligation to disclose his employment or occupation, a significant oversight that allowed him to secure a position as a school bus driver with a company based in Stockport.

Despite the monitoring and restrictions, Robinson’s predatory behavior resurfaced when he molested a 12-year-old girl. The incident took place while he was ostensibly under supervision, highlighting a critical failure in the system designed to protect vulnerable children from known offenders. The details of how he managed to evade detection until this point remain under investigation.

Robinson’s actions came to light during a court hearing at Manchester Crown Court, where he faced justice for his latest offense. The court sentenced him to an additional nine months in prison, a measure intended to serve both as punishment and a warning to others. The case has prompted authorities to review and tighten the existing loopholes in the supervision and registration process for sex offenders.

An inquiry has been launched to examine how Robinson was able to secure employment without proper oversight and to prevent similar incidents in the future. The case underscores the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement and social services in safeguarding children from offenders who slip through the cracks of the current system.
