| Red Rose Database
Whitehaven Rapist
In a case that has shocked the community of Whitehaven, Paul Bonner, a 51-year-old security guard residing on Tomlin Avenue in Mirehouse, faced serious allegations related to the creation of indecent videos involving a child. The charges stem from incidents that occurred on or before December 19 of the previous year, with authorities uncovering material classified as Category A, indicating the most severe level of indecency.
Bonner appeared before West Cumbria Magistrates Court on a recent Friday, where he was formally charged with two counts of producing indecent photographs of a child. Demonstrating remorse, he pleaded guilty to both charges, acknowledging his involvement in the creation of these highly inappropriate and illegal videos. The case drew significant attention due to the gravity of the allegations and the nature of the material involved.
Following his plea, Bonner was scheduled for sentencing at Carlisle Crown Court, with the hearing set for November 4. In the interim, he remains on unconditional bail, allowing him to avoid immediate detention while awaiting the court's decision.
During the sentencing hearing in November 2016, Bonner was handed a suspended prison sentence, a decision that drew mixed reactions from the public and legal observers alike. The judge emphasized the severity of the content involved, stating that the sexual abuse depicted in the videos was so indecent that it was inappropriate to disclose the details in court. As part of his sentence, Bonner is required to register as a sex offender and complete 80 hours of unpaid community service.
In a related development earlier that year, it was reported that Bonner, a security guard from Whitehaven, was due to be sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court after admitting to the charges. The case highlighted the disturbing nature of the crimes and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to address such serious offenses within the community of Whitehaven and beyond.
