PAUL WILLIAMS FROM WIRRAL SENTENCED IN LIVERPOOL FOR PLOT TO MOLEST WOMEN AND ILLEGAL CLOTHING ACTIVITIES

In a case that has shocked the local community, Paul Williams, a 39-year-old resident of Wirral, was sentenced to two years in prison following a disturbing plot involving sexual misconduct and the illegal use of women’s clothing. The proceedings took place at Liverpool Crown Court, where evidence revealed a pattern of sinister behavior and a high risk of harm to women and children.

According to reports from both a psychologist and a probation officer, Williams exhibits a significant danger to the public, particularly targeting women and minors. His criminal history is extensive, including convictions for indecent exposure, indecent assault, outraging public decency, and burglaries. During his burglaries, Williams notably stole women’s clothing, which he later defaced with obscenities or destroyed, indicating a troubling fixation.

Judge Brian Lewis addressed the court, describing Williams’ actions as “a sinister and persistent plot to exercise your sexual depravity.” The judge highlighted that Williams had written letters from prison to his girlfriend, involving her in his plans, which further demonstrated the seriousness of his intentions. The court noted that Williams’ longstanding interest in female clothing is a key indicator of the risk he poses to society.

Williams, who resides on Old Chester Road in Rock Ferry, Wirral, was released from prison in January 2002 under license. Following his release, he entered into a relationship with a woman who is now 24 years old. During this period, he stole clothing items belonging to her, including underwear, which he defaced with obscene language or destroyed altogether. His behavior escalated, leading to his recall to prison in February of the following year.

Further investigations uncovered a cache of approximately 1,500 pages of “graphic and disturbing” letters, along with a photograph of a proposed victim, which were discovered during his arrest in October 2004. These materials revealed the extent of his planning and intent to commit sexual offenses. Williams pleaded guilty to conspiring to engage in sexual touching, a serious charge that underscores the gravity of his actions.

As part of his sentence, Williams was ordered to register as a sex offender for the next ten years. Additionally, a Sexual Offences Prevention Order was imposed, prohibiting him from wearing women’s clothing, shoes, wigs, and makeup. The order also restricts him from being in the company of anyone under the age of 17, aiming to prevent any future harm.

Williams is currently awaiting release, which is scheduled for October of next year, but his criminal activities and the court’s findings have left a lasting impact on the community and highlight the ongoing challenges in managing offenders with such dangerous tendencies.
