Crawley Paedophile Shain Hunt is out and about in your community, looking for baby rape images and more. Shain Hunt, a Crawley man, was issued a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order which is soon to run out.
Shain Hunt was convicted in court for uploading indecent photographs of minors onto various online sites.
Shain Hunt received a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) for acts perpetrated between June and September 2022.
The police got 26 referrals from firms such as Google, Snapchat, and Discord regarding uploading photographs onto devices linked to his related residences in Sussex, Warwickshire, and Suffolk.
Shain Hunt was apprehended and interrogated by all three agencies, although in each instance, he categorically refuted the accusations and asserted that he was a victim of hacking.
Officers confiscated and scrutinised his equipment, which spanned several months, necessitating multiple bailings for Shain Hunt to enable investigators to amass sufficient evidence to establish a viable chance of prosecution.
Shain Hunt appeared at each of his bail hearings with a Bible, and when the claims were articulated during the interview, he claimed to feel sick.
However, police recognised his ruse and endeavoured to terminate his criminal activities conclusively.
The troops collaborated to execute concurrent arrest attempts at all four locations, thereby guaranteeing the seizure of any equipment in Hunt’s hands.
Shain Hunt was apprehended at his residence on Ifield Drive, Crawley, on 17 July 2022 and discovered with an iPad adjacent to him. This comprised hundreds of Category A photos — the most severe – of young babies being raped, tortured and killed.
Shain Hunt, 24, was ultimately charged with the creation of 279 Category A, 246 Category B, and 957 Category C obscene photos of minors.
Given the compelling evidence, Shain Hunt entered a guilty plea and was sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on 10 August.
He received an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, along with a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). He was additionally mandated to remit £250 in expenses and a £156 victim surcharge.
