| Red Rose Database
Alvaston Child Sexual Abuser
In June 2018, a serious case involving a man from Alvaston, Derby, brought to light disturbing allegations of child exploitation. Paul Spencer, aged 49, was found to have committed a grave offense by creating indecent images of a child, with the incident occurring in Burton. The court proceedings revealed that Spencer had been involved in this illicit activity over a span of more than two years, from January 1, 2015, to June 29, 2017.
Following his admission of guilt to a charge of producing five indecent photographs of a child classified as Category C, Spencer faced a series of legal sanctions aimed at preventing future offenses. His appearance at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court marked a significant step in addressing the case, which drew attention to the ongoing issues of online child exploitation and the importance of stringent monitoring.
As part of his sentencing, Spencer was subjected to a two-year community order, which includes a three-month curfew, restricting his movements during certain hours. Additionally, he was ordered to pay court costs amounting to £85, along with a victim surcharge of the same amount. The court also imposed a sexual harm prevention order lasting five years, which introduces a series of restrictions designed to prevent him from reoffending.
The order enforces strict limitations on Spencer’s internet usage. During the five-year period, he is prohibited from using or possessing any device capable of accessing the internet unless it meets specific criteria. The device must be able to retain and display his internet search history, and he must make it available for police inspection upon request. Furthermore, he is barred from deleting any internet history from devices he owns or has used, and he is not permitted to install or use any software capable of deleting or encrypting internet data. Additionally, Spencer is forbidden from possessing any device capable of storing images unless he makes it available for police examination if requested.
These measures aim to ensure that Spencer’s online activity remains transparent and monitored, reducing the risk of further offenses. The case underscores the ongoing efforts by authorities to combat online child exploitation and enforce strict controls on individuals convicted of such crimes, especially those residing in areas like Alvaston and Burton where these incidents have taken place.
