JARED LOGAN FROM CHESTERFIELD CAUGHT AGAIN WITH CHILD ABUSE IMAGES DURING POLICE RAID
In a disturbing development, Jared Logan, a man from Chesterfield with a known history of child exploitation offenses, was apprehended once more for possessing explicit images of children.The incident occurred during an unannounced police visit to his residence, revealing the ongoing nature of his criminal behavior.
Logan, aged 52, was found to have downloaded an application called “My Vidster,” which he used to view the illicit images.
However, in a move that suggests an attempt to conceal his activities, he deleted the app just as law enforcement officers arrived at his home in Chesterfield.
Despite this, investigators managed to seize his phone and conduct a thorough examination.
The court heard that at the time of his arrest, Logan was still under a five-year sexual harm prevention order (SHPO), which had been imposed after he admitted to creating indecent images of children in February 2019.
This order was meant to restrict his access to such material and prevent further offenses, but it evidently did not deter his continued misconduct.
During the hearing at Derby Crown Court, a prosecutor detailed the contents of Logan’s phone.
The device contained 15 images classified as Category B and four as Category C.
Some of these images depicted two boys, approximately nine years old, who were shown naked from the waist up, highlighting the disturbing nature of the material he possessed.
Logan pleaded guilty to making an indecent photograph of a child, acknowledging his involvement with the illegal images.
The court was informed that his actions were a breach of the existing SHPO, which was supposed to prevent him from engaging in such behavior.
Judge Shaun Smith KC addressed Logan directly, stating, “Back in 2019-2020, you had a problem with accessing disgusting and depraved images of children.
Your position is aggravated by the fact that you were in breach of a SHPO, the fact that you were shortly out of a community order, and that you deleted your history.” Despite the severity of his offenses, the judge noted that Logan would receive only minimal intervention in prison, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation and mental health treatment.
As part of his sentence, Logan was given a three-year community order, which includes a 12-month mental health treatment requirement, up to 43 days of treatment under the Horizon intervention programme, and 35 rehabilitation activity sessions.
Additionally, he was subject to a five-year SHPO to monitor and restrict his future conduct.
This case underscores the ongoing challenges law enforcement faces in combating online child exploitation and highlights the importance of strict legal measures to prevent reoffending by known offenders from Chesterfield and beyond.
