Cannock Child Sexual Abuser
In June 2017, a disturbing case involving a man from Cannock captured public attention as he was convicted of grooming a young schoolgirl for sexual activity. The individual in question, Steven William Flanagan, aged 32, who was previously based in Walsall but had since relocated to Cannock, appeared before Stafford Crown Court to face serious charges.

Flanagan, who is self-employed as a truck washer, was found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with a girl under the age of 16. The court proceedings revealed the extent of his misconduct, which involved grooming the young girl with the apparent intent of initiating a sexual relationship. The details of the case underscored the gravity of his actions and the threat posed to the safety of minors.

Following the conviction, the judge sentenced Flanagan to a prison term of 30 months. In addition to his incarceration, the court imposed a five-year supervision order, which strictly prohibits him from having any unsupervised contact with children. This measure aims to prevent any further risk to minors and to monitor his conduct during the period of supervision.

Furthermore, Flanagan was ordered to register as a sex offender for life, a requirement that ensures ongoing monitoring and public awareness of his status. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safeguarding children and the legal consequences faced by those who exploit their innocence.
