Kendal Online Groomer
In a disturbing case that has shocked the community of Kendal, Ryan Goulding, a 37-year-old man residing in Town View, was found guilty of engaging in inappropriate and illegal online communications with an individual he believed to be a teenage girl. The incident unfolded when Goulding sent a friend request on Facebook to a profile that was falsely presented as a 14-year-old girl, with the apparent intent of initiating a sexual conversation.
According to court records, Goulding’s online exchanges with the profile quickly took a lewd turn. He described the girl as "sexy" during their initial messages, revealing his inappropriate interest. When the supposed girl disclosed her age as 14, Goulding responded with a startling remark, claiming he was a decade younger than his actual age, which was intended to suggest a level of familiarity or shared youthfulness. This exchange indicated his attempt to normalize or justify his inappropriate interest in the minor.
The case was brought before Carlisle Crown Court, where Goulding faced serious charges related to attempted sexual communication with a child and attempting to incite or cause a child to engage in sexual activity. His actions were deemed a clear violation of laws designed to protect minors from exploitation and abuse.
Goulding admitted to the charges, and after a thorough legal process, he was sentenced to 45 months in prison. The court’s decision underscores the severity with which such offenses are treated, especially in cases involving online predation and the exploitation of minors. The community of Kendal, and indeed the wider region, has been left to grapple with the implications of this case, which highlights the ongoing dangers posed by online predators and the importance of vigilance in protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
