KEITH PERRY FROM BARNES CAUGHT WITH HUNDREDS OF CHILD ABUSE IMAGES IN LONDON

In February 2014, a disturbing case emerged involving Keith Perry, a former teacher with ties to a highly regarded school, who was found to possess an extensive collection of child abuse images. Perry, aged 70 and an Oxford graduate, was discovered to have shared these illicit materials with other individuals involved in similar criminal activities through online chat rooms. His actions revealed a troubling obsession with minors, as he openly admitted to being 'obsessed with boys' during conversations on these platforms.

Authorities uncovered Perry’s illicit stash at his residence in Barnes, a neighborhood in south-west London. The files were carefully concealed on five separate memory sticks, which he had hidden inside an umbrella stored at his home. This method of concealment underscores the deliberate effort to hide the illegal content from detection.

The collection was alarmingly large, comprising nearly 600 indecent images. A significant portion of these images, almost half, were classified at levels four and five, indicating the most severe categories of abuse. These levels involved explicit content depicting bondage or torture, highlighting the disturbing nature of the material Perry possessed.

Despite the gravity of the evidence, Perry was able to walk free from court, a decision that has sparked concern and outrage among the public and authorities alike. The case continues to raise questions about the oversight and monitoring of individuals with such disturbing interests, especially those with a background in education and influence over young people.
