MATTHEW PEACOCK FROM MELBOURN BREAHS BAIL NEAR PRIMARY SCHOOL

In a concerning development, Matthew Peacock, a convicted sex offender with a history of indecency-related convictions, has been granted bail to reside in close proximity to a primary school in Melbourn. This decision has sparked alarm among local residents and authorities alike, given the potential risks associated with his new living arrangements.

Peacock’s recent breach of his court-imposed restrictions has brought his supervision into question. He was discovered living in a residence that overlooks a school playground, raising serious concerns about whether his supervision and monitoring are sufficient to prevent any further risk to children in the area.

Peacock’s criminal record includes convictions related to indecency, and he had previously pleaded guilty to charges involving the creation of indecent images of a young girl. Additionally, he was found guilty of inciting her to engage in sexual activity. As part of his sentencing, he was subjected to a community order and was required to register as a sex offender for a period of five years.

Despite these restrictions, police are now investigating whether Peacock has violated the terms of his court order. His recent placement near a primary school has intensified scrutiny over the adequacy of the supervision measures in place and whether further legal action or restrictions are necessary to ensure community safety.
