CLIVE RAMM FROM STANWAY FACES COURT OVER CHILD ABUSE IMAGE CONVICTION AND DECEPTION

In a case that has raised serious concerns about transparency and compliance with court orders, Clive Ramm, a resident of Longstraw Close in Stanway, was brought before Chelmsford Crown Court to answer charges related to his failure to disclose a past conviction involving child abuse images. The incident dates back to 2006 when Ramm was sentenced after being found in possession of indecent material on his laptop. As part of his sentencing, he was issued a court order that mandated full disclosure of his criminal history to any future partner, especially if they had children under the age of 16.

According to court proceedings, Ramm did not adhere to this requirement when he entered into a new relationship last year. The court was informed that his current partner, who is also the mother of two teenagers, confronted him after hearing rumors about his past and discovering that he was using the alias Clive Lipton at the time of his previous conviction. Despite her questions, Ramm denied any wrongdoing, leaving her shocked and distressed when the truth eventually emerged.

The court heard that Ramm had admitted to three violations of the court-ordered restrictions. As a consequence, he was ordered to participate in a three-year sex offenders’ rehabilitation program. The case also revealed that Ramm had been instructed to cooperate fully with police investigations, including providing access to any electronic devices such as computers and phones for inspection. However, he refused to disclose the PIN numbers for two of his phones, one of which was later found to contain no relevant data, while the other remains under examination.

It was also disclosed that Ramm had previously used the name Clive Lipton during his incarceration in 2006, when authorities discovered child pornography on his laptop. The court emphasized that his failure to disclose his conviction and comply with the court’s orders was a serious breach of the legal requirements designed to protect vulnerable individuals.

Ramm’s legal representative, barrister David Griffith, argued that his client would benefit from additional help and support, highlighting the importance of rehabilitation and proper management of his case. The court’s decision underscores the ongoing concerns about the management of offenders with a history of child exploitation and the importance of transparency in such cases.
