Louis Large Salisbury Paedophile

A Salisbury Paedophile Louis Large has received a sentence of six years and six months in jail for attempting to orchestrate a child sex offence.

Louis Large, 25, from Salisbury, was jailed at Reading Crown Court on December 18.

An indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order was issued, and he was permanently registered on the Sex Offenders Register.

From June to July 2024, Louis Large was discovered to be in contact with another individual, Damien Saunders, 40, from Pewsey, coordinating meetings with youngsters to perpetrate sexual offences via social media and instant messaging.

Saunders received a two-year prison sentence on November 4 at Swindon Crown Court.

DS Toni Nugent said: “We know that it can be daunting to report incidents of sexual abuse, but I want to reassure anyone affected that we take all reports of this nature incredibly seriously.

“Our message will always be that we’re ready when you are, that you’ll be listened to, and taken seriously.

“I’m pleased with these sentences, putting two men who pose serious risk to children in prison for some time. Luckily in this circumstance no-one was assaulted.

“SHPOs are put in place by the court to protect the public from sexual harm. The conditions assist in managing sex offenders, and may restrict things such as;

  • Erasing of search history
  • Procurement/destruction of devices
  • Contact with certain demographics
  • Type or number of devices owned

“We will continue to manage these orders robustly and undertake more work that goes unreported.”
