SIMON WEBB PLEDGE OF VIOLENCE IN PERSHORE AND COVENTRY COURT TRAGEDY
| Red Rose Database
Pershore Child Sexual Abuser
In September 2010, the tragic death of Simon Webb, a notorious paedophile and biker from Pershore, shocked the community and the criminal justice system alike. Webb, aged 43, who had been incarcerated at HMP Wymott in Lancashire, succumbed to a heart attack just days before he was scheduled to appear in court on additional charges. His death marked the end of a disturbing chapter involving his heinous crimes against minors.
Webb’s criminal activities came to light after he was convicted in June of that year for inciting sexual activity among minors. The court heard that Webb, a well-known member of the Outlaws biker gang, had lured three teenage girls, aged 14, 15, and 16, into performing sexual acts on each other. The incident took place after Webb drove the girls to a remote field, where he filmed them kissing and touching each other on his mobile phone. The court was told that Webb had promised the girls £4,000 each if they participated in a fashion shoot, but instead, he took them to the secluded location and forced them into sexual acts.
During the trial at Coventry Crown Court, Webb admitted to three counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and one count of causing a child to watch sexual activity. The court also heard that Webb threatened to kill the girls and dispose of their bodies in a river if they refused to comply. His actions demonstrated a pattern of predatory behavior and intimidation aimed at vulnerable minors.
Webb’s criminal record and his physical presence—standing 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighing over 22 stone—added to the notoriety surrounding his case. His criminal conduct not only caused immense harm to the victims but also cast a shadow over the community of Pershore, where he was known.
On September 4, Webb collapsed in his prison cell at HMP Wymott. Despite being rushed to Chorley and South Ribble Hospital, he died shortly after arrival. His death occurred just before he was due to face further charges related to fraud, which could have extended his time behind bars.
Following Webb’s death, his estranged wife, Anne-Marie, 30, expressed her complex feelings about the situation. She revealed her intention to view his body, jokingly stating she wanted to give him a slap, and shared her concerns about informing their children. She also mentioned her plans to pawn her wedding ring, expressing a desire to move on from her marriage, despite her feelings of sadness that she never finalized a divorce before his passing. Anne-Marie also inquired about her entitlement to a widow’s pension, reflecting her mixed emotions about the loss.
Webb’s case remains a stark reminder of the dangers posed by individuals who exploit and threaten vulnerable young people. His death in custody closed a chapter of justice, but the scars left on his victims and the community of Pershore continue to serve as a sobering reminder of the importance of vigilance and protective measures against such predators.
