šŸ’„ANNIVERSARY REMINDERšŸ’„ SOLDIER - PAUL HARKNESS from Chester but based in Hull ā€“ sentenced to 2 years and 8 months in prison.

We stung him on the 18th June 2022, this is the case where we stung him in June and then the police stung him 5 months later. They only used the police evidence and didnā€™t bother to submit ours, then when the judge was sentencing, the judge only knew about the police evidence and said ā€˜since he was caught he hasnā€™t done this againā€™ and based the sentencing on that BUT didnā€™t know that he had been caught in June then reoffended in November. Pathetic example of our justice system.

Paul was in the army when we stung him, sending numerous photos of him in uniform in the barracks. He used this to try and impress children. He asked what he thought was a 13 year old children for indecent images. We also witnessed him going live on an app talking to loads of children and arranging to meet them.

Police went to the barracks in Hull where he was still based after we had stung him and they found 34 images in the most serious Category A, 27 in Category B and 39 in Category C. There were 102 videos in Category A, 37 in Category B and 132 in Category C. There was evidence of deliberate searching for sexual images of children.

On the 18th November 2024 at Hull Crown Court he was sentenced as follows:

2 years and 8 months imprisonment

10 years SOR

10 years SHPO

He will be out now.

MARK MORSS from Sheffield who we stung on 20th September 2026 and he was arrested for s*xual communications with a minor.

MARK had been speaking with who he thought was a 13 year old girl for a long time. He totally love bombed her sending her love poems and voice notes of him singing made up love songs about her. In the beginning his wife found out they were chatting and made him block her but he had saved her number under another name and after a while continue to message her on other apps. He told her he kept deleting everything so he wouldnā€™t get found out.
MARK kept asking for photos of her in her pjs, her school uniform, in a towel and in her swimming costume. He wanted to meet her and have a shower with her, show her what a naked man looks like, go swimming with her and hug and kiss her in bed.

The grooming was so intense and he was so manipulating, especially in the way he was justifying her sending him photos of her in her swimming costume and also making her feel bad if she didnā€™t reply to him quick enough. Horrible man.

Big shout out to him neighbours who were great. Also the quickest sting for us ever. Soon as Gary was off the phone they were there . Great response from 2 lovely officers from South Yorkshire Police .

Big well done to security and admin

MATTHEW Oā€™KELLY from Bushey - Teacher - sentenced to 10 and a half years imprisonment and 20 years SHPO and SOR.

He was my childrenā€™s teacher šŸ˜” he was a PE teacher at Bushey Meads School then head of sixth form then went back to being a PE teacher and was still working there when he got arrested.

He had been doing this since 2009, swapping images and videos of children being abused, some as young as 12 months old. He then was talking to who he thought was a woman who had a 10 year old daughter and arranged to meet her so he could r*pe the 10 year old in front of her mum. Infact the lady was an undercover police officer. Huge well done to them! I hope he has a very uncomfortable time in prison and with the amount of children he taught he will find it hard to disappear when he is out šŸ˜”

REBECCA COOPER from DUDLEY finally sentenced! She got 1 year and 8 months imprisonment and 5 years SHPO and s*x offenders register.

Back in December 2023 REBECCA COOPER was going online and visably committing s*x acts on herself whilst talking s*xual about children and trying to get children to message her. She even said what she was going to some poor well known manā€™s children, actually naming them. Jo, Izzy and flick worked tirelessly recording all the lives and it wasnā€™t an easy job trying to get West Midlands Police to act, but after numerous phone calls made from Jo and Izzy and numerous emails sending the evidence finally a great OIC was assigned that jumped on it which resulted in REBECCA COOPER getting an actual prison sentence. Just shows it pays never to give up which we all certainly didnā€™t! REBECCA COOPER is an attention seeking woman with an obsession for children. A real danger!

Great team work from TOOK and INNOCENT VOICES šŸ’–šŸ’–

STEWART KENNEDY from COSHAM, PORTSMOUTH arrested on the 27th August 2026 after we handed him in to Hampshire Police, so there is no live.

He was absolutely vile to who he thought was a 13 year old girl, sending her s*xual videos and photos of himself. He begged for indecent images. One time sending 41 messages in a row!

We handed him in to Hampshire police, and then we located him thanks to the amazing Yin and Yang but Hampshire Police located him at the same time and arrested him.

Decoy - Izzy, thank you to Yin and Yang for their tracking šŸ’–šŸ’™@

šŸ’„ANNIVERSARY REMINDERšŸ’„ā€“- ā€“ CHRIS GRIMSDALE from Aylesbury who we stung 5 years ago on the 5th June 2021 on behalf of Aira and Poppy Decoy who were in Fleetwood Enforcers at the time. He was arrested for s*xual communications with a child. He spoke about meeting who he thought was a child, sent s*xual photos of himself and constantly asked her to send indecent images of herself.

He was charged and pleaded guilty to

2 x Adult attempt to engage in s*xual communication with a child

Yet AGAIN Thames Valley Police have not used the charge of an adult sending s*xual photo to a child?

On the 22nd June 2023 CHRIS GRIMSDALE was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court to :-

24 months community order

35 programme days

20 rehabilitation activity requirement days

5 years SHPO

5 years S*x offenders register

šŸ’„ANNIVERSARY REMINDERšŸ’„ā€“- CLIFF DARE from Chester - sentenced to 3 years 8 months imprisonment!

We stung him 3 years ago, on the 4th June 2023 and he was arrested for breaking his bail conditions and sexual communication with a minor. He had been stung TWICE before, (other teams involved on those stings were - Childrens Voices, Solo Sistaz, Aftermath and UK database).

One of the stings he turned up to meet two 12 year olds and when he was arrested by us the 3rd time he was still not remanded

At Chester Crown court on the 5th January 2024 he was sentenced as follows:-

Three years and eight months imprisonment

S*x Offenders Register ā€“ Life

S*xual Harm Prevention Oder - Ten years

Court costs - Ā£228

So glad he finally got a prison sentence but his attraction to children is strong so he no doubt will be back at it on his release.

Well done to all teams and decoys involved

ANDREW SETCHFIELD from Wellington, Somerset, who we stung 16th August 2026 and he was arrested for s*xual communications with a minor.

When the police turned up he said he had been previously arrested for similar offences

ANDREW started talking to the child last year when she had just turned 14 he blocked as was worried her parents would find out and then started talking to her a year later and said now she is 15 he can talk to her s*xually. He asked over and over for indecent images and said he would bang her shyness out of her. He told her what he wanted to do s*xually to her when he meets her. Not a nice man at all.

Well done to security and admin šŸ’™ā¤ļø and a great response from Avon and Somerset police
