BENJAMIN LAW FROM BURY SENTENCED FOR CHILD SEXUAL OFFENSES AND IMAGES

In February 2014, Benjamin Law, a 31-year-old resident of Blackrod Drive in Bury, was sentenced to a decade behind bars after being convicted of serious crimes involving child abuse. The case against Law revealed a disturbing pattern of criminal behavior that spanned over two years and involved both sexual assault and the possession of explicit images of minors.

Law’s criminal activities first came to light in November of the previous year when police officers executed a search warrant at his residence. During the investigation, authorities discovered a significant collection of child pornography on his computer, which included a total of 656 indecent images. This discovery prompted further inquiries into Law’s activities and led to additional charges.

He faced a total of 21 charges related to the possession of indecent images, with the material dating from June 2011 to August 2013. The evidence collected painted a troubling picture of ongoing illicit activity involving the exploitation of minors through digital media.

In addition to the possession charges, Law was also charged with 13 counts of sexual assault. These assaults were committed against two girls, both under the age of 16, and the incidents occurred within the same timeframe as the possession of the images. The details of these assaults, though not fully disclosed, contributed to the severity of his sentencing.

Following a thorough investigation, Law was brought before the court, where he faced justice for his heinous crimes. The court ultimately sentenced him to ten years in prison, reflecting the gravity of his offenses and the impact on his victims. His conviction underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat child exploitation and protect vulnerable minors from predators like Benjamin Law in Bury and beyond.
