DANGEROUS PEDOPHILE DAVID BAILEY FROM BURY SENTENCED FOR CHILD INDECENCY CRIMES AT MANCHESTER CROWN COURT

In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Bury and the wider Greater Manchester area, David Bailey, a 31-year-old resident of Broad Oak Lane in Bury, has been convicted and sentenced for heinous crimes involving the exploitation of children. Bailey was found guilty of multiple serious offenses related to indecent images of minors, following a detailed investigation by the Greater Manchester Police’s Sexual Crime Unit.

According to court records, Bailey pleaded guilty to three counts of creating indecent images of a child, three counts of distributing such images, and possession of a prohibited image of a child. These charges stem from his actions in November 2015, when he was caught using a public computer at Manchester Central Library located in St Peter’s Square to access and view illegal content. His choice to use a public terminal was reportedly an attempt to evade detection while viewing these disturbing images on his own devices.

Further forensic analysis of the computer used by Bailey, along with his online accounts, uncovered that he was part of a vast international network comprising over 1,900 individuals. This network was actively engaged in sharing indecent images of children, highlighting the widespread and organized nature of such criminal activity. The investigation revealed that Bailey’s actions were not isolated but part of a larger, global problem involving the distribution of child exploitation material.

On Friday, November 17, at Manchester Crown Court, Crown Square, Bailey was sentenced to six years in prison. In addition to his custodial sentence, he will be subject to a lifelong sexual harm prevention order, which aims to monitor and restrict his activities to prevent further offenses. The court’s decision underscores the severity of his crimes and the ongoing threat posed by individuals involved in the exploitation of children.

Bailey’s case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilant law enforcement efforts and community awareness in combating child exploitation crimes. The authorities continue to work tirelessly to dismantle networks involved in such illegal activities and to protect vulnerable minors from harm.
