    GORDON COLCLOUGH OF KIDSGROVE SENTENCED FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY OFFENSES IN STOKE-ON-TRENT

    In April 2016, a disturbing case emerged involving Gordon Colclough, a 65-year-old man from Kidsgrove, who was found to have downloaded and stored over 400 indecent images of children on his personal computer. The investigation revealed that Colclough had been accessing such material over a span of approximately eight years, raising serious concerns about ongoing abuse and exploitation.

    Staffordshire Police’s child exploitation team initiated an operation at Colclough’s residence in Kidsgrove after receiving information about the presence of illicit images. When officers arrived at his home, they confronted him with their purpose, and he cooperated fully by indicating the specific computer where the images were stored. This cooperation led to a search warrant being executed at his property on September 20, 2014.

    During the subsequent analysis of the computer, authorities uncovered a disturbing collection of images and videos. The digital content included 47 still images and 171 videos classified as Category A, which is designated for the most severe and explicit material. Additionally, there were 50 still images and 27 videos categorized as Category B, along with 101 still images and 24 videos falling under Category C. In total, the device contained 420 images, with a significant portion—218 images—classified as Category A, indicating the extreme nature of the material.

    Colclough admitted to police that he had been downloading this material for approximately seven or eight years and that he viewed it quite frequently. His actions, as detailed in court, reflect a prolonged period of engagement with illegal content involving minors.

    Representing Colclough, Hamish Noble highlighted that the defendant had no prior criminal record. Mr. Noble expressed that Colclough felt a deep sense of shame and disgust regarding his conduct, acknowledging that at the time, he had closed his mind to the impact his actions could have on the victims depicted in the images.

    In sentencing, Judge David Fletcher emphasized the gravity of the offense, noting that Colclough, as a grandfather of ten, had viewed images of children who were, in fact, the grandchildren of someone somewhere in the world. The judge condemned the acts as “disgusting and vile,” underscoring that the children depicted in the images would carry the trauma of their exploitation for the rest of their lives. The judge pointed out that such behavior is driven by a perverse sexual pleasure derived from the exploitation of innocent minors.

    As part of his sentence, Colclough was ordered to complete a three-year community order, which includes participation in an internet sex offender treatment program. He was also placed under a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and registered as a sex offender for the same period. Additionally, he was ordered to pay costs amounting to £800. The court’s ruling reflects the serious nature of his crimes and the ongoing risk posed by individuals involved in the possession and distribution of child abuse images.
