Ingoldmells Child Sexual Abuser
In November 2016, a disturbing incident came to light involving Daniel Seviour, a 27-year-old man residing on Burgh Road in Ingoldmells, who is registered as a sex offender. Magistrates were informed that a 16-year-old boy from Skegness had spent two consecutive nights in the same bedroom as Seviour, raising serious concerns about compliance with legal obligations and the safety of minors.
According to the court proceedings, Seviour, who is on the Sex Offenders’ Register for a period of ten years, admitted to failing to notify the police about the teenage boy’s stay at his residence. This omission is a breach of the strict conditions attached to his registration, which mandates that he must inform authorities if any person under the age of 18 stays at his home for more than 12 hours. The case was brought before Boston Magistrates’ Court, where Jim Clare, the prosecutor, outlined Seviour’s criminal history and recent conduct.
Jim Clare detailed that Seviour had previously been convicted in 2013 at Lincoln Crown Court for eight counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and three counts of possessing indecent photographs. He was sentenced to prison for these offenses. Furthermore, Seviour was reminded of his registration obligations as recently as February of that year, emphasizing the importance of notifying police if he hosted or resided with minors for extended periods.
On August 12, Seviour sent a text message to the 16-year-old boy, inviting him to stay overnight. The boy accepted, and over the nights of August 12 and 13, he stayed at Seviour’s home, sleeping on a spare mattress in the same bedroom where Seviour’s girlfriend was sleeping. Seviour explained to police that he had known the boy for some time and that the teenager had requested to stay. He also stated that he had no sexual intent, asserting that the boy’s stay was innocent and that he had simply provided a place for him to sleep.
It was also revealed that Seviour had previously been cautioned by police in 2015 for a failure to comply with the conditions of his sex offender registration. Despite these warnings, the recent incident raised questions about his adherence to legal requirements and the safety protocols designed to protect minors.
In a separate but related case from October 2013, Seviour was convicted of sending sexually explicit text messages to a 13-year-old girl. Despite being warned by police in November of the previous year to cease contact, he continued to communicate with her. The girl, who was met by Seviour at a children’s play park in Skegness, described him as appearing around 17 but behaving immaturely, akin to a 14-year-old.
Following concerns raised by the girl’s mother and subsequent police intervention, explicit messages and two indecent photographs of the girl were discovered on Seviour’s mobile phone, along with other illegal images of children. He admitted to eight charges of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity in February and March of that year, as well as three counts of possessing indecent images. Seviour, then 24 and residing on Skegness Road in Ingoldmells, was sentenced to 12 months in prison at Lincoln Crown Court.
His defense argued that the messages were merely fantasies and that there had been no physical contact. They described Seviour as an immature individual who behaved like a teenager rather than an adult. However, Judge Michael Heath dismissed these arguments, emphasizing the seriousness of the offenses and stating that the law exists to protect minors from exploitation and harm. The judge made it clear that custody was the only appropriate sentence for such grave violations.
In a further incident from July 2013, Seviour was found to possess indecent images of children. He admitted to three charges of possessing such images at his then-home on Burgh Road, Skegness. The case was scheduled for sentencing at Lincoln Crown Court, where Seviour was also due to face a separate charge related to a sexual offense involving one of the girls depicted in the images. He was granted conditional bail and remained on the Sex Offenders’ Register during this period, underscoring ongoing concerns about his conduct and the potential risk he posed to the community.
