Staines Child Sexual Abuser
In a case that has shocked the local community of Staines, Oleg Isakov, a 48-year-old IT worker, narrowly avoided imprisonment after authorities uncovered a staggering collection of more than 40,000 indecent images of children stored on his personal computer. The disturbing discovery was made during a police search that was initiated after Isakov attempted to delete these illicit files, but inadvertently revealed their presence.
On September 1, 2016, police officers arrived at Isakov’s residence on Northfield Road following a warrant issued based on evidence of peer-to-peer file sharing activity. The investigation was prompted by the use of specific keywords associated with child abuse material, which led authorities to suspect illegal activity on his computer. When the officers arrived, they were met by Isakov’s wife, who explained the purpose of their visit. She then went upstairs, only to return downstairs without her husband.
Subsequently, the police proceeded to search the upper floor of the property, where they found Isakov with his laptop open and attempting to access a remote hard drive. The officers quickly seized the device, and during their examination, they discovered numerous files that had been accessed over several months. These files bore names that clearly indicated they contained child abuse material. Interestingly, the files were on the verge of being deleted—had Isakov entered the correct login details, the files would have been permanently removed, the court heard.
In total, the police found a horrifying collection comprising 104 Category A images, which are classified as the most serious, 276 Category B images, and an alarming 40,403 Category C images. Among these, 88 of the Category A files were moving images, further emphasizing the severity of the material involved.
Oleg Isakov, who resides on Northfield Road in Staines, admitted to three counts of possessing indecent images of children. During his sentencing at Kingston Crown Court, Judge Andrew Campbell acknowledged the gravity of the offense but decided to suspend his 15-month prison sentence for a period of 18 months. The judge expressed his awareness of the harm caused to the children depicted in the images, stating, “I have seen a synopsis of what those images contained. You have to appreciate that those are real children and this does them immense and lifelong harm.”
Although Isakov denied any attempt to pervert the course of justice, the prosecution chose to drop that particular charge. As part of his sentence, he was also subjected to a rehabilitation requirement and ordered to pay costs amounting to £535. The court’s decision reflects the serious nature of the offense, balanced against considerations of his personal circumstances and the potential for rehabilitation.
