    GRAHAM ROEBUCK SENTENCED IN HALIFAX AND HUDDERSFIELD FOR CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

    In November 2012, a disturbing case unfolded involving Graham Roebuck, a teacher with connections to Halifax and Huddersfield, who was ultimately sentenced to prison for heinous crimes involving child sexual abuse and the possession of indecent images of children.

    Roebuck, aged 58 at the time, was convicted after a jury found him guilty of sexually abusing two young victims nearly a decade earlier. The offences involved a girl and a boy, and although the crimes were not directly linked to his professional role as a teacher, they cast a dark shadow over his reputation.

    The investigation that led to his conviction began in 2010, during which authorities uncovered more than 2,500 indecent images of children stored on his computer. These images ranged from less serious to more severe forms of child pornography, with some depicting highly disturbing content. The discovery was part of a broader inquiry into his activities, which revealed a pattern of criminal behavior.

    Throughout the trial at Bradford Crown Court, Roebuck maintained his innocence, denying all charges. However, the jury was convinced of his guilt, and Judge John Potter sentenced him to a total of five years in prison. The judge also imposed a lifelong ban on Roebuck working with children and mandated that he register as a sex offender with the police for the remainder of his life.

    Roebuck, who resides on Ladyhouse Lane in Berry Brow, had no prior criminal record, and Judge Potter acknowledged his previously impeccable character. The judge expressed regret over the stark contrast between Roebuck’s past reputation and his current convictions, stating, “You are hitherto of impeccable character and I do recognise that your conviction in these proceedings of sexual assaults on children represents a dramatic and complete loss of good character and reputation in particular given your life pursuit of a career in teaching.”

    He was found guilty on five counts related to the sexual abuse of the two children, as well as 20 additional charges concerning the possession and distribution of child abuse images. While most of the images were classified as less serious, the presence of more severe material was also confirmed, highlighting the gravity of his offenses.

    Judge Potter emphasized that such images not only offend through their content but also contribute to the ongoing abuse of children. He remarked, “If people like you did not wish to seek sexual gratification in looking for images such as these on the internet and thereafter view them, the images may not be created in the first place.”

    During the trial, Roebuck attempted to undermine his victims by forcing them to testify and be cross-examined, claiming they were not truthful. The court rejected this defense, with the judge stating, “The verdicts in this case show that the jury rejected that argument. That you, in fact, lied. That you lied to the jury about how the images came to be on your computer and what happened (in relation to the abuse matters).”

    The sentencing comprised four and a half years for the sexual abuse charges, with an additional six months for the child pornography offences. Roebuck’s legal representative, Sophie Drake, highlighted that her client had served as a teacher for many years without prior complaints and expressed her client’s remorse and the personal toll of the conviction. She noted that Roebuck was deeply affected by the loss of his career, which he loved, and expressed concern for his family, including his elderly mother and partner, fearing the impact on their stability.

    DC Emma Summerscales of the Child Safeguarding Unit commented on the case, stating, “We welcome the conviction of Roebuck today for historic offending which has betrayed the trust of others and caused real harm to his victims. He chose to put them through the ordeal of giving evidence and concocted a defence for his possession of indecent images which was dismissed as ‘absurd’ by the court. I want to praise the bravery of Roebuck’s victims in coming forward to help secure justice and hope seeing him put behind bars will give them some closure.”
