Rotherham Doncaster Buxton Child Sexual Abuser
In August 2015, a disturbing incident unfolded in the Maltby area of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, involving the notorious convicted sex offender Nigel Oldfield. The events drew significant attention from local residents and law enforcement alike, highlighting the ongoing issues surrounding Oldfield's presence in the community.
According to eyewitness accounts, a large and angry crowd, estimated to be around 100 individuals comprising parents and neighbors, gathered outside Oldfield’s residence late on a Friday evening. The gathering was fueled by outrage and fear, as residents expressed their disgust over Oldfield’s history and his recent activities. The situation escalated quickly, with reports indicating that graffiti was daubed on his front door, further symbolizing the community’s disdain.
Eyewitnesses described a tense scene where Oldfield engaged in heated exchanges with members of the crowd. The atmosphere grew increasingly hostile, prompting police to respond swiftly. South Yorkshire Police arrived at the scene and cordoned off the property to prevent further violence. During the chaos, Oldfield was escorted from his home by officers and placed into a police vehicle, which then drove him away from the scene. The house itself was subsequently boarded up, indicating the severity of the disturbance and the community’s desire to distance itself from Oldfield.
This incident was reportedly triggered by the revelation that Oldfield was residing in the area, information that had circulated on social media. Many residents expressed their frustration at being kept in the dark about his presence, especially considering his criminal background. A neighbor, who preferred to remain anonymous, stated, “The disgrace is not the public disorder but the fact that we were never told this man was living in the area. People around here are furious. He had been living under their noses for 18 months and they had no idea.”
South Yorkshire Police issued a statement confirming their response to the incident. A spokeswoman explained, “Police were called at around 9.20 pm on Friday 7 August to reports of a disturbance outside a property in the Maltby area of Rotherham. Damage is reported to have been caused to one property.” The police investigation is ongoing, with particular focus on the reported criminal damage and the circumstances leading to the crowd’s gathering.
Nigel Oldfield’s background is deeply troubling. Known for his pro-paedophile activism, Oldfield has a long history of criminal behavior and disturbing online activity. He has publicly debated controversial views, including on platforms such as BBC’s Newsnight, where he controversially suggested that sex with children should be legalized. His past includes a 2005 revelation by the Mirror that he was a former chemistry teacher who was jailed for downloading over 11,000 indecent images of children. During his incarceration, he operated a website from behind bars that provided advice to other sex offenders on how to evade detection while downloading child abuse material.
Oldfield’s criminal record is extensive. In 2002, he was arrested after a shopper in Sheffield’s Meadowhall shopping centre observed him taking pictures of children. Police subsequently discovered child pornography on his computers at his Doncaster flat. At that time, he was serving as the head of science at a school in Derbyshire. Over a three-week period, he engaged in multiple internet sessions totaling over 18 hours, during which he collected numerous indecent images. He served a 12-month prison sentence for possessing over 11,000 such images.
Despite his imprisonment, Oldfield continued his disturbing activities. He set up a website, which the Mirror chose not to name, that served as a platform for paedophiles. The site, which was shut down in May following a police investigation and probation order, was later reactivated. Oldfield remains in contact with fellow offenders through various online channels, including a mobile number and email address provided on his site, which offers “support” to other sex offenders. Law enforcement agencies have pledged to monitor his online activities closely.
Oldfield’s online presence is characterized by his aggressive and manipulative behavior. He has harassed victims of sexual abuse, stalked individuals, and engaged in online bullying. His interactions often involve attempts to intimidate and discredit those who oppose his views or expose his activities. His involvement in forums such as GirlChat has been marked by incidents of harassment, including the infamous “Fayla Incident,” where he and others bullied a teenage girl, forcing her to reveal personal details under duress. This girl, known by her nickname “Fayla,” was only 15 years old at the time, and the incident exemplifies the dangerous manipulation tactics employed by Oldfield and his associates.
In summary, Nigel Oldfield remains a highly dangerous individual whose past and recent actions continue to pose a threat to the community. The incident in Rotherham underscores the importance of vigilance and community awareness regarding individuals with such a troubling history, and law enforcement’s ongoing efforts to curb his online and offline activities.
