| Red Rose Database
N/A Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the community, Ross Chesterton, a professional photographer and karate coach, was brought to justice after authorities uncovered a disturbing collection of nearly 2,000 indecent images of children on his computer. The investigation, which unfolded in February 2016, revealed the extent of his involvement in the possession of child exploitation material.
Chesterton’s actions prompted immediate legal action, leading to his being ordered to attend a specialized sex offenders' course. Additionally, he was subjected to a comprehensive ban from working with children, a measure designed to prevent any potential harm or further offenses. The images found on his device depicted young children in distressing and highly inappropriate situations, some of which involved children as young as two years old. The graphic nature of the material underscored the severity of the case and the potential risk posed by Chesterton’s possession of such content.
Initially, Chesterton attempted to justify his possession of the images by claiming he was investigating child pornography, perhaps suggesting a misguided attempt to rationalize his actions. However, this claim was quickly dismissed when he later admitted that the images were for his own sexual gratification, revealing the true nature of his intent and involvement.
As part of the legal consequences, Chesterton was subjected to a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order. This order not only restricts his contact with children but also imposes strict monitoring and restrictions to prevent any future offenses. The authorities’ actions reflect the seriousness with which such cases are treated, emphasizing the importance of protecting vulnerable children from exploitation and abuse. The case remains a stark reminder of the ongoing need for vigilance and robust legal measures to combat child exploitation crimes.
