| Red Rose Database
New Ferry Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of New Ferry, retired teacher Glyndwr Willis, also known as George Williams, has been sentenced to prison after being found guilty of possessing an extensive collection of indecent images of children. The case was heard at Liverpool Crown Court, where it was revealed that Williams, aged 72, had accumulated over 60,000 illicit images depicting children being sexually abused over a period of several years.
The court heard that Williams continued to search for and download these disturbing images despite being under investigation by police and despite a court order designed to prevent him from accessing such material. This court order, a sexual harm prevention order, was imposed following his previous conviction in 2008 for possession of indecent images. It explicitly required him to inform authorities if he possessed any devices capable of recording or storing images of children. However, Williams blatantly disregarded this legal obligation.
Prosecutor Nardeen Nemat explained that Williams admitted to police that he began accessing images of child abuse on the internet in 2011, which was three years after his initial conviction. Although the digital records from a computer recovered from his residence in New Ferry did not show activity from 2011, they provided clear evidence that he had been downloading such images from at least March 2016. At that time, he was still bound by the sexual harm prevention order, yet he failed to disclose the existence of any devices capable of storing or recording illicit images, as required by the court.
Despite the court order, Williams continued his illicit activities until it expired, amassing a staggering collection of images. The images were categorized by severity: over 4,000 fell into Category A, the most serious, nearly 4,000 were in Category B, and almost 52,000 were classified as Category C. Additionally, police discovered more than 13,000 “prohibited” images, which included computer-generated images and cartoons depicting children in sexual contexts. These images were uncovered following a tip-off and multiple police raids on Williams’ home in New Ferry.
During interviews, Williams admitted to officers that he had downloaded these images himself. He later pleaded guilty to charges of making and possessing indecent images of children, as well as breaching the sexual harm prevention order. The court was told that Williams showed a lack of understanding of the harm caused by his actions. Judge Anil Murray remarked that Williams did not grasp the damage inflicted on children depicted in the images he had collected. The judge emphasized that Williams acknowledged being sexually attracted to children but failed to comprehend the seriousness of his conduct or the harm it caused.
As a result, Williams, of Winstanley Road, was sentenced to a total of 20 months in prison, reflecting the gravity of his offenses and the ongoing danger posed by his actions. The case has raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of monitoring and enforcement of court orders related to online child exploitation, especially in cases involving individuals with prior convictions.
