DEAN DESILVA FROM BURNHOPE, SURREY CAUGHT WITH ILLEGAL VIDEO INVOLVING CHILDREN

In a disturbing case that has shocked the local community, Dean Desilva, a 45-year-old resident of Whitehouse Avenue in Burnhope, Surrey, has been found in possession of a highly illicit video featuring himself engaged in sexual acts with two young girls. The incident has reignited concerns about child exploitation and the safety of minors in the area.

Desilva’s criminal history is extensive, as he was previously convicted in 1993 for the heinous crimes of raping two girls aged 14 and 15. The assaults took place in Surrey in 1991, and his conviction followed a jury trial that resulted in an eight-year prison sentence. After serving his time, Desilva was released from incarceration, but his past actions continue to cast a shadow over his current circumstances.

It was in November of the previous year that authorities conducted a search of Desilva’s residence. During this search, officers uncovered a disturbing video hidden beneath a kitchen unit. The footage depicted sexual activity involving two young girls, and it was determined to have been recorded between June and October of 1991, predating his conviction by two years. The discovery of this material has raised serious questions about Desilva’s ongoing involvement in illegal activities.

Prosecutor Anne Richardson addressed the court, stating, “Under a kitchen unit they found a video depicting sexual activity involving two girls.” She emphasized the gravity of the evidence and its implications for ongoing investigations.

In his defense, Desilva claimed that the video had been returned to him just two days prior to the police search. He asserted that he was keeping the footage with the intention of using it in an appeal to clear his name, a statement that has been met with skepticism given the nature of the evidence and his criminal history.

The case has been brought before Newcastle Crown Court, where the proceedings continue to unfold. The community remains deeply concerned about the safety of children and the potential for further revelations as the legal process advances.
