| Red Rose Database
Donnington Child Sexual Abuser
In a case that has shocked the community of Donnington and the wider Telford area, 19-year-old Haydn Page appeared before Shrewsbury Crown Court to face serious allegations involving indecent images of children. Despite the gravity of the charges, Page was spared immediate imprisonment, receiving instead a community order that reflects the court's cautious approach to his case.
Page, who resides on Townsend Croft in Donnington, was charged with six counts related to the creation and possession of indecent images, including one count of possessing extreme pornography. During the court proceedings, he only responded to confirm his identity, demonstrating a subdued demeanor as the proceedings unfolded.
The prosecution, led by Mr. Kevin Jones, detailed how the authorities uncovered the disturbing material. The images of children were discovered on a laptop that Page used for his employment. The investigation revealed that Page’s employers had requested his password to access the device while he was away from work. When asked, Page showed some resistance, claiming he was unsure of what was stored in the internet history of the computer.
According to Mr. Jones, the computer was used in a normal manner at times, but during the investigation, indecent images and videos were found. These illicit materials were viewed by several individuals, including Page’s foster mother, before being handed over to the police. The authorities also seized mobile phones and the laptop, which contained more than 200 indecent images and movies, highlighting the extent of the material involved.
Representing Page, lawyer Mr. Paul Smith, emphasized that his client was surrounded by diligent individuals and expressed hope that Page could move forward despite losing his previous employment. He stated, “He is surrounded by people who have acted extremely diligently. Unfortunately he no longer has the job he did have but he is hoping to move on to other employment.”
Judge Peter Barrie delivered the sentence, opting for a two-year community order and a fine of £250. The judge issued a stern warning to Page, stating, “Make sure you don’t come back to court,” underscoring the seriousness of the case and the court’s expectations for his future conduct.
