DALE BROWN FROM BURNLEY CAUGHT DELETING INTERNET HISTORY TO HIDE CHILD ABUSE EVIDENCE
In October 2018, authorities uncovered a disturbing breach of legal obligations by Dale Brown, a convicted sex offender residing in Burnley. During a routine compliance check, police discovered that Brown had deliberately erased the browsing history from both his MacBook and his mobile phone, raising serious concerns about his attempts to conceal illicit activity.Burnley magistrates heard that the devices in question had been confiscated for detailed forensic analysis. Despite the devices being examined, Brown, aged 31 and living on Amersham Grove in Burnley, admitted to police that he had been using them to access and view indecent images of children. This admission confirmed suspicions that he was actively attempting to hide his online activities from authorities.
Brown faced two charges of breaching a sexual harm prevention order, which is a legal restriction placed on individuals convicted of sexual offenses to prevent further harm. He pleaded guilty to these charges, acknowledging his violation of the court’s orders. Following his admission, he was remanded on bail and scheduled to appear at Burnley Crown Court for sentencing on November 26.
Prosecutor Tracy Yates explained that during the police’s compliance visit, officers examined the devices and found that the MacBook had no browsing history dating back to June, indicating that Brown had deleted or erased any record of his online activity. The Samsung mobile phone also showed no browsing history, although it was evident that the device was in regular use, suggesting that Brown had taken steps to conceal his online behavior.
This case highlights ongoing concerns about the effectiveness of monitoring and enforcement of sexual harm prevention orders, especially when offenders actively attempt to hide their activities through digital means. The investigation continues as authorities seek to ensure that individuals like Brown are held accountable for their actions and that measures are in place to prevent further harm.
