| Red Rose Database
Beeston Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through Nottinghamshire, Michael Kinnear, a 28-year-old man from Beeston, has been sentenced to three years and nine months in prison after being caught in a covert operation targeting online grooming and child exploitation.
Authorities revealed that Kinnear had engaged in a series of disturbing communications with five young girls, whose ages ranged from 12 to 15 years old. According to police reports, Kinnear not only contacted these minors via social media but also extended invitations to his residence for parties, where he attempted to engage them in sexual activities. One particularly alarming incident involved a 14-year-old girl who stayed overnight at his house, during which she was subjected to sexual acts, further highlighting the severity of his misconduct.
The investigation was significantly aided by a sting operation conducted by a group known as Totnes Justice, a self-styled paedophile hunting organization. This group managed to record Kinnear grooming what he believed were underage girls, specifically targeting individuals he thought were 11, 14, and 15 years old. These interactions took place during a CCTV sting, which ultimately provided crucial evidence leading to his arrest and subsequent prosecution.
Following his arrest, Kinnear, who resides on Broughton Street in Beeston, pleaded guilty to multiple charges. These included attempting to meet three girls for sexual purposes, engaging in sexual activity with a minor, and attempting to meet another child following grooming efforts. The police confirmed that Kinnear had been persistently contacting young girls on Facebook between 2014 and 2016, often pretending to be 16 years old to mask his true intentions.
Further details revealed that Kinnear would often supply alcohol to underage girls at his home and would give gifts and cigarettes to others, in an apparent attempt to manipulate and groom his victims. His actions have been described as deeply troubling and indicative of a pattern of predatory behavior.
At Nottingham Crown Court, Kinnear was sentenced to a total of three years and nine months in prison. In addition to his incarceration, he will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, a measure intended to protect the community from any future risk he might pose. The case has drawn widespread condemnation, with Totnes Justice publicly stating on Facebook, “What Michael Kinnear got was nothing compared to the life sentence the survivors had to deal with. All of you are so brave,” acknowledging the courage of his victims and the gravity of his crimes.
