PAEDOPHILE WHO BOASTED ABOUT HIS OFFENDING ONLINE HAS BEEN JAILED
Ian Campbell threatened to share indecent photographs of one of his victims online if she did not follow his orders, and his abuse lasted over a two-year period.
In March 2021, he unwittingly bragged online about his abuse to an undercover officer and was subsequently arrested by Northumbria Police’s POLIT department, a dedicated team working to protect vulnerable children.
Campbell, 34 of Laburnum Crescent, Kettering, Northamptonshire, was arrested in October 2021 and later charged with nine sex offences committed when he lived in the North East, including two counts of sexual assault and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Due to the overwhelming evidence against him, Campbell pleaded guilty to all charges at Newcastle Crown Court in August 2024.
On Wednesday, February 12, Campbell was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment and a further four years on licence following his release.
He will also be subject to a lifelong Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
