JACK BUTLER CHILD AND ANIMAL PORNOGRAPHY SCANDAL IN NORWICH AND DERBY
| Red Rose Database
Norwich Animal Abuser
Jack Butler, born around October 1997, has been convicted of possessing and distributing highly illegal and disturbing images involving children and animals. His criminal activities came to light after police investigations linked him to the possession of these vile materials, which included photographs and videos depicting sexual acts between humans and animals, as well as exploitative images of children.
At the time of his arrest, Butler was residing on Beechwood Drive in Thorpe St Andrew, Norwich, but his previous address was on Stanley Street in Derby. The police raid on his Derby residence uncovered a disturbing collection of indecent images stored on his MacBook. The analysis of his device revealed a total of 16 extreme pornographic images involving humans and animals engaged in sexual activities. Additionally, authorities found 44 images classified as Category A, which are considered the most severe, showing young children involved in sexual acts with adults. There were also 60 images categorized as Category B and 43 as Category C, indicating a range of severity in the illegal content.
During the court proceedings at Derby Crown Court, it was revealed that police had traced Butler’s IP address to his Derby address, which led to the discovery of the illicit materials. The prosecution, led by Lauren Butts, stated that Butler himself had disclosed the location of the images, which facilitated their seizure. The court was not informed about the ages of the children depicted in the images, but the nature of the material was described as highly disturbing and illegal.
Butler was arrested in October 2018 and subsequently pleaded guilty to four counts of possessing illegal images. His legal counsel, Gareth Gimson, highlighted that Butler had lost his university place following his arrest. Gimson also mentioned that Butler was actively seeking help through a charity called ‘Stop It Now’ and was undergoing counseling to address his issues. The defendant expressed remorse, acknowledging the shame his actions had brought upon himself and his family, including his parents who attended the court hearing.
In sentencing, Butler received a 10-month prison sentence, which was suspended for two years. He was ordered to sign the sex offender register for a period of 10 years and was subjected to a sexual harm prevention order that restricted his access to computers and the internet. Additionally, he was mandated to complete 100 hours of unpaid community service and attend 20 rehabilitation sessions with the probation service. The case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat the distribution and possession of such heinous material, as well as the importance of rehabilitation for offenders.
