| Red Rose Database
Haydock Child Sexual Abuser
In a recent court hearing held at Liverpool Crown Court, John Draisey, a 68-year-old resident of Silver Avenue in Haydock, faced serious charges related to the possession and creation of indecent images of children. The case drew significant attention due to the nature and volume of the material involved.
Prosecutors presented evidence that linked Draisey to the possession and production of a total of 525 indecent images depicting minors. These images were categorized based on their severity, with 123 classified as the most serious Category A, 159 falling under Category B, and the remaining 243 designated as Category C. The allegations specify that these illicit images were stored and possibly created by Draisey over a period spanning from December 2015 to December 2016.
Following a detailed examination of the evidence, the court found Draisey guilty of the charges. Despite the gravity of the offense, the judge opted against imposing a custodial sentence. Instead, Draisey was handed a community order that will last for three years. Additionally, he is required to register as a sex offender for a period of five years, a measure intended to monitor and manage his potential risk to the community.
Furthermore, the court imposed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) that will be in effect for five years. This order aims to restrict Draisey’s activities and prevent any future offenses. As part of his rehabilitation, Draisey is mandated to participate in a sexual offenders’ treatment programme, which includes attending a series of sessions designed to address and manage his behavior. He is also required to undertake 20 days of rehabilitation activities, emphasizing the court’s focus on both punishment and reform.
Overall, the case highlights ongoing efforts by the justice system to combat the distribution and possession of child exploitation material, while also emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation and community safety.
