Lincoln Sexual Abuser
In a serious legal development, Simon Wells, a convicted sex offender from Lincoln, has been sentenced to 12 months in prison after breaching a court-imposed restriction that prohibited him from having any contact with young children.

Despite the restrictions, Wells concealed his legal status from the group he was staying with. His cover was blown when someone who was aware of his past recognized him at the caravan park. A subsequent telephone call from a concerned member of the public led police to act swiftly. The caller informed authorities that Wells, a known sex offender, was present at the site.
Police officers responded promptly, but Wells had already left the caravan park. He claimed to have returned to Lincoln because his mother was
