DAVID FELTHAM CAUGHT IN WOKINGHAM BY PAEDOPHILE HUNTERS: SEXUAL PREDATOR AVOIDS JAIL

In a recent case that has drawn significant attention, a man from Wokingham named David Feltham was caught in a sting operation conducted by vigilant paedophile hunters. The incident took place in February 2018, when Feltham engaged in online conversations with what he believed were two young girls, aged 13 and 14, with the apparent intent of initiating sexual activity.

Feltham faced serious charges, including two counts of attempting to incite or cause sexual activity with minors aged between 13 and 15. Despite the gravity of these allegations, he was not handed a prison sentence. Instead, he received a sentence of 18 weeks, which was suspended for a period of 24 months, meaning he will not serve time in prison unless he commits another offense within that timeframe.

Furthermore, a Sexual Harm Prevention Order was imposed on Feltham following his conviction. This order remains in effect until further notice, restricting his activities and monitoring his behavior to prevent any future offenses. Additionally, Feltham has been placed on the sex offenders register for a period of seven years, requiring him to regularly update authorities about his whereabouts and activities.

The operation involved decoys aged 13 and 14, who posed as potential victims to lure Feltham into the illegal exchanges. The sting was carried out by local authorities and community members committed to protecting minors from sexual predators. The case was notably influenced by the efforts of Totnes Justice, an organization dedicated to combating online grooming and child exploitation.

Overall, this incident underscores the ongoing risks posed by online predators and highlights the importance of vigilant community efforts to safeguard vulnerable minors from exploitation and abuse.
