PETER BREEZE FROM KINGS LYNN SENTENCED FOR CHILD SEX OFFENCES IN 1994

In May 1994, a volunteer social worker hailing from Kings Lynn was sentenced to six months in prison after admitting to a series of serious child sexual offences. The charges against him included the possession and distribution of indecent photographs of children, as well as indecent assault on a male victim who was under the age of 16. The police investigation uncovered a disturbing collection of illicit films, among which was a video depicting an 11-year-old boy, highlighting the severity of the offender's misconduct.

During the court proceedings, the judge imposed a sentence that reflected the gravity of each individual count, ensuring that justice was served for the victims involved. Additionally, the court ordered the confiscation and forfeiture of all illegal material related to the case, aiming to prevent any further distribution or possession of such harmful content. The case drew significant attention due to the nature of the offences and the offender’s role as a volunteer social worker in the community of Kings Lynn, raising concerns about safeguarding and the oversight of individuals in positions of trust.
