OMAR FEEHEEM FROM MORDEN SENTENCED FOR CHILD ABUSE IMAGES IN BRIGHTON AND SURREY

In a case that has garnered significant attention, Omar Feheem, a 46-year-old man originally from Morden in Surrey, has faced serious legal consequences for his involvement in possessing and creating indecent images of children. It is now believed that Feheem has been residing in Brighton since April 2020, a detail that has come to light during the ongoing investigation.

Back in May 2016, Feheem was found guilty of multiple charges related to child exploitation. The court sentenced him to a combination of prison terms and suspended sentences, reflecting the severity of his offenses. Specifically, he was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison, but this sentence was suspended for 18 months, meaning he would not serve time unless he committed another offense within that period.

Additionally, Feheem was convicted of making an indecent photograph of a child. For this particular offense, he received a concurrent sentence of 18 weeks, also suspended for 18 months. The court further ordered him to pay a victim surcharge of £80 and legal costs amounting to £85. These financial penalties are part of the broader effort to hold offenders accountable and provide some measure of restitution to victims.

In a more severe aspect of his sentencing, Feheem was also committed to serve an additional 26 weeks in prison, this time consecutive to the previous sentences. This sentence was also suspended for 18 months. The reason for this additional imprisonment was his possession of a staggering 230 indecent images, which depicted a person engaging in sexual acts with an animal. Such material is classified as particularly heinous and underscores the gravity of his offenses.

Furthermore, Feheem faced charges related to the possession of prohibited images. He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison for possessing 11 such images of a child, with this sentence running concurrently and also suspended for 18 months. To prevent any future harm, the court imposed a sexual harm prevention order on Feheem, which will remain in effect for five years. This order restricts his activities and access to certain materials, aiming to protect the public from potential reoffending.

Overall, the case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement and judicial authorities to combat child exploitation and ensure that offenders face appropriate consequences, even when sentences are suspended. The community in Morden and Brighton remains vigilant, knowing that individuals like Feheem have been held accountable for their actions.
