A guy from Flintshire, Nicholas Cummins Shotton Paedophile, has been imprisoned for capturing sexualised photos of a minor. Nicholas Cummins, 39, of Hafan Glyd, Shotton, captured photos of the youngster in a state of partial undress at a dilapidated former hospital site in Denbigh, claiming that the images would be utilised to secure a competition victory.
Subsequent to police investigations, he was discovered to possess over 8,000 indecent photos of minors on his devices, including images of two additional victims.
Although he acknowledged the creation of obscene photos, he refuted the allegation of enticing a minor to participate in sexual behaviour; yet, he was convicted by a jury at Mould Crown Court in January.
Nicholas Cummins went before Mould Crown Court on Monday, 10 March, when he was sentenced to six years in prison, along with an 18-month period on licence.
Nicholas Cummins will complete two-thirds of his jail term prior to being eligible for referral to the Parole Board and will comply with the notification requirements of the sex offenders register. He was also subjected to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order.
Investigating officer, DC Catrin-Mai Jones from the Central Child Protection team stated: “I commend the victim’s courage in reporting to the police and her support throughout the entire investigation.”
“Nicholas Cummins exhibited no genuine remorse, no emotion, and no comprehension of the enduring consequences for his victim, which have been substantial.
This result demonstrates our dedication to prosecuting sexual offenders and safeguarding the voices and welfare of victims and children.
“I hope this case will motivate others who have experienced a sexual offence to come forward and serves as a reminder to offenders of these reprehensible crimes that they will face repercussions for their actions, regardless of the timing or circumstances of the offense.”
