PREFACE

THIS BOOK IS A DIGEST OF GLOBALLY REPORTED SEX CRIMES for the year 2023, published to spotlight the increasing rate of crimes sexual in nature as well as the effort of the State to investigate, prosecute, convict and imprison these set of criminals in the interest of justice and to serve as deterrent to others. It is in essence a sort of CRIME REPORTAGE JOURNAL; an honourable aid and important part of an open justice system (practiced in most modern democracies), wherein justice can be seen to be done.  Above all other reasons, the book is a powerful REMINDER to criminal minded individuals who are closet sex crime perpetrators that JUSTICE will eventually catch up with them and a big encourager to the victims of sex crimes to seek for justice at all costs.

Every year, the court systems all over the world deal with sex attackers, people who have groomed children into committing abominable acts and many more who find themselves convicted of online offences such as downloading child abuse images or pornography, requesting of sexual images from minors, rape, assault and more. A catalog of these crimes as reported in the news is displayed in these pages – not to glorify the act and actors but more to VILIFY the act and urge for true repentance and redemption. For propriety sake, the names of affected persons (convicts) and victims have been hidden or initialed as appropriate.

While lawyers, journalists, sociologists, psychologists, detectives and other researchers will find the content to be interesting, poignant and visceral (expected of such topic), the book profiles in layman’s language what constitutes SEX CRIMES all over the world so that ordinary reader can stand enlightened and be guarded so as not be found in the DARKNESS where convicted culprits and aspiring ones get to be deposited after their heinous act.

Court records from the Greenup case show N was reported in April 2020 by Facebook to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that he was talking to a minor over the internet. The Kentucky Internet Crimes Against Children unit picked up the case and launched an investigation.

According to the records, N asked a minor to expose themselves and attempted to meet up with said minor.

Evidence turned up in a search by authorities uncovered child sexual abuse material and information leading police to believe N had sexual contact with a minor inside the bathroom of a local restaurant.

Court records also show N coaxed a victim into exposing themselves in their front yard to him, as he sat in his car across the road.

Prior to the current legal cases against him, N was convicted in Elliott County of automobile theft in 22008.

A former Coquitlam church youth therapist has been sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison for multiple historical sexual assaults.

The BC Prosecution Service confirmed the sentence for R. G, who is now 78, was handed down Friday.

G was initially sentenced to 12 years and 11 months, which was reduced to 78 months due to his advanced age under the totality principle, which requires a sentence not to be crushing, a spokesperson for the prosecution service said.

G was convicted on 11 counts including sexual assault and sexual exploitation.

The charges relate to offences involving young men and teenage boys who attended several Coquitlam-area churches between 1993 and 2007.

When Coquitlam RCMP announced charges against G in July 2020, they said he had been associated with multiple churches, including Hillside Community Church, Austin Avenue Chapel, and Evergreen Evangelical.

At the time, police said G also went by the name Dr. RG and offered therapy sessions at his home to young people whom he met primarily through their parents at church.

Last week, Z pleaded guilty in court to two counts of sexual conduct with a minor and three counts of attempted sexual conduct with a minor.

He had originally been indicted for 29 felony offenses. The crimes involved multiple victims and took place between 2019 and 2021, records show.

Many of the sexual acts would take place in a minivan parked in a Chandler parking lot, court records show.

The terms of Z’s plea agreement state that he shall spend at least five years in prison, register as a sex offender and be placed on lifetime probation.

Investigators have said that the students abused by Z looked up to him as a mentor and father figure.

He violated the trust given to him by students and parents, investigators wrote in court filings.

Z's scheduled to be sentenced in Maricopa County Superior Court on March 29.

B.D, 78, of Wells Road, described allegations that he sexually abused a girl as a load of bloody nonsense, Bristol Crown Court heard.

But a jury convicted the former RAF man of a plethora of sexual assaults on the girl when she was aged eight to 17. D was convicted of eight counts of indecent assault, three counts of rape and two counts of buggery.

The Recorder, Mr James Bromige, sitting via video link, jailed him for 20 years. He told D: You are not in good health, you have a diminished life expectancy and the prospect is you will die in prison.

D was told to register his whereabouts to police indefinitely. He was handed an indefinite restraining order banning him from both direct and indirect contact with the complainant.

Speaking behind a screen, the complainant said the abuse left her with anxiety and depression for which she has had counselling and therapy. She said she had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

She told the court: "I smell his cigarette smoke every day. I don't feel like getting up, I don't eat properly, I don't sleep properly.

He knows he is guilty. I want him to remember every day what he did to me. He ruined my life.

Nikke Coombe, prosecuting, said D forced the child to commit sex acts on him and he forced himself on her on multiple occasions. The court heard she was a vulnerable youngster who felt unable, at the time, to report him to her loved ones.

Virginia Cornwall, defending, urged the judge to impose a determinate sentence. She told the court: "There is no issue of dangerousness. The risk of further offending is minimal.

A man who sexually abused a vulnerable teenage girl in a park has been jailed. G. G chatted to the 15-year-old girl in Bath city centre.

Bristol Crown Court heard that after telling her she was pretty he kissed her before they went to Royal Victoria Park. After groping her on a bench he took her to a bush and molested her, the court heard.

G, 29, of East Street in Warminster, pleaded guilty to three charges of having sexual activity with a child. Judge James Patrick jailed him for four-and-a-half years.

The judge told G: You saw in her a sexual attraction. You very quickly became aware she was 15 and you decided to take advantage of her in a very severe way.

G was handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning him from living with or having unsupervised contact with females aged under 18. He was banned from working with children and vulnerable adults and told to sign the sex offender's register indefinitely.

James Haskell, prosecuting, said the vulnerable youngster was in Bath city centre when G approached her, asking her if she knew where he could buy cigarettes. He said he was 25 and told her she was pretty, the court heard.

Mr Haskell said: She has said it was nice to be complemented. They went to a park, the defendant asked her age and she said she was 15.

After they went to a shop G kissed the child on her lips, the court heard, which surprised and confused her.

Mr Haskell said: "The defendant asked her if there were any parks nearby. She told Mr G there was a small park nearby.

He said he liked her and maybe they would fall in love.

The girl told G about her troubled background, the court was told, before they went to Victoria Park. When they sat on a bench G put her on his lap and groped her before directing her to a bush, where he had sexual activity with her.

The judge told M: "The jury found you showed her no mercy and abused her sexually. They found no consent, and you knew there was no consent.

"There is an element of a predator about you and I find that very disturbing.

You waited for her friend to be out of the way. You were cold, calculating, cruel and callous in what you did. I think you are dangerous.

M was told to register his whereabouts to police indefinitely. He was barred from working with children and vulnerable adults.

The court heard M trespassed into the complainant's home, where he sexually assaulted and raped her. She pretended to be asleep, hoping her would leave her alone, the court heard.

Edward Hetherington, prosecuting, read an impact statement from the complainant in which she described how she shut off emotionally after the assault. She was left feeling dirty, her relationship suffered and it had a massive effect on her life.

She stated: I want him to acknowledge what he's done to me. I want him to know he's ruined my life.

Ian Morrell, defending, said his client had not had an easy life, having suffered bereavement of his mum and siblings. Mr Morrell said M had sought to deal with trauma by counselling and medication.

But he told the court: "Unfortunately neither worked. He ultimately turned to the drug Spice, it allowed him to block out the trauma of earlier years.

He had an addiction. He smoked it all day and all night.

Mr Morrell said M, a father-of-free, was unsure what to do on his release from prison. On remand he had compiled an impressive dossier of design work, the court heard.

Won Eun-ji was working on her laptop in a café when she clicked on a video so horrifying that she slammed the screen shut again.

The university student had been investigating a disturbing network of online chatrooms, where thousands of men would pay for access to photos and videos of women and girls coerced into performing sexually explicit and depraved acts.

The victims were as young as 12.

Eun-ji had been exposed to the footage on an almost daily basis since she began looking into the chatrooms with her classmate, Park Ji-hyun in 2018.

But this particular video seared into her memory.

A teenager was using a knife to engrave the word slave onto her body.

I couldn't believe it, Eun-ji said.

I was so surprised that I got goosebumps all over my body and closed my laptop right away.

What began as part of an online journalism competition snowballed into an all-consuming project for the students who, together, adopted the moniker Team Flame.

Their work set in motion what would become a major police and
