THOMAS EDESON'S SHOCKING CRIMES IN HULL: DANGEROUS SEX OFFENDER BREACHES COURT ORDERS

A man with a disturbing history of sexual offenses has been officially classified as a dangerous sexual offender following a series of violations and new criminal behavior in Hull. Thomas Edeson, aged 26 and residing on Franklin Street, has a criminal record that dates back to a previous conviction for sexually abusing a young girl. In 2021, Edeson was sentenced to two years in prison after he was found guilty of touching a girl inappropriately and taking explicit images of her without her consent. During that investigation, authorities uncovered that he had stored these images for his own sexual gratification, further illustrating the severity of his misconduct.

Despite serving his initial sentence and being subject to a stringent 10-year sexual harm prevention order, Edeson did not adhere to the court’s restrictions. He deliberately breached the order by posting sexualized images online and publicly asserting, “I don’t need anybody’s permission to post photos.” This statement was made in a context that clearly indicated his intent to circulate the images across the internet, a move that was carefully planned to evade police detection. Edeson went as far as deleting messages and online communications to avoid scrutiny from law enforcement agencies.

The court proceedings revealed that Edeson has a longstanding sexual interest in pre-pubescent girls, a fact that has caused significant fear and confusion for his victims. Prosecutor Michael Masson emphasized that Edeson admitted to the new offenses, which included disclosing private photographs and breaching the court order he was legally bound to follow. His actions demonstrated a blatant disregard for legal restrictions and the safety of others.

Judge Alexander Menary described Edeson’s conduct as deliberate and malicious, underscoring that he remains a dangerous individual with a propensity for harm. As a result, Edeson was sentenced to a nine-month prison term, suspended, meaning he will not serve time immediately but will be under strict supervision. Additionally, he continues to be required to register as a sex offender and comply with the existing sexual harm prevention order.

Further investigations into Edeson’s activities uncovered electronic devices containing illicit material, as well as unwashed children’s underwear, which was part of the evidence used to establish his ongoing sexual interests. It was also revealed that he had sent sexual messages involving the girl from his previous offense, highlighting a pattern of predatory behavior. The court was informed that Edeson’s sexual interest in pre-pubescent girls has persisted over several years, leading to a traumatic and distressing experience for his victim. The case underscores the ongoing threat posed by individuals like Edeson and the importance of vigilant law enforcement and judicial oversight to protect vulnerable members of society.
