| Red Rose Database
Hemlington Child Sexual Abuser
In a case that has shocked the local community of Hemlington, Matthew Roach, a 25-year-old man, was found to possess an alarming collection of indecent images, including some classified as the most serious category involving children. Authorities uncovered hundreds of extreme pornography images, some depicting animals engaged in sexual acts with humans, highlighting the disturbing nature of his collection.
The investigation was initiated after police received concerns linked to an email address associated with Roach’s residence. Officers responded to his home in Hemlington, where they found him present along with his family. Recognizing the sensitive nature of the case, law enforcement decided that Roach should voluntarily attend the police station for questioning rather than being detained immediately.
During the police interview, Roach was cooperative but expressed that he was experiencing some personal difficulties. He chose not to have a solicitor present but admitted to having issues that contributed to his behavior. The police seized a number of items from his home, and Roach was interviewed under caution. He made full and frank admissions regarding the possession of the illicit images, which spanned from October 22, 2016, to August 22, 2017.
The court proceedings took place at Teesside Crown Court, where the judge, Sean Morris, addressed the case with gravity. It was revealed that Roach had developed a disturbing obsession with animal websites, which contributed to his offending. A psychiatrist had assessed him and advised that he would be extremely vulnerable in a prison environment, a factor that influenced the court’s decision.
Despite the severity of the crimes, Roach was spared a custodial sentence. Instead, he was handed a three-year community order, which requires him to complete 30 days of rehabilitation programs. Additionally, he was placed on the sex offenders register and issued a sexual harm prevention order that will remain in effect for five years. The court’s decision reflected concerns about his mental health and vulnerability, prioritizing treatment and supervision over incarceration.
