| Red Rose Database
Fishtoft Child Sexual Abuser
In a serious case that has shocked the local community, Troy Newton, a 26-year-old man residing on Clifton Road in Fishtoft, near Boston, has admitted to possessing and distributing explicit images involving children. The charges against Newton include multiple counts of creating indecent photographs of children, as well as distributing such material, with one particularly disturbing image depicting a man engaging in sexual activity with a girl approximately five years old.
Newton appeared before Boston Magistrates’ Court to face these grave allegations. The prosecution, led by Jim Clare, outlined that law enforcement authorities had received credible information indicating that Newton’s computer contained illegal images. Acting swiftly, police executed a search warrant at his residence on September 27 of the previous year. During the search, they seized Newton’s iPhone, which contained a collection of indecent images of children, along with a highly disturbing video classified as Level A, the most severe category. This one-minute video showed a man engaged in sexual acts with a young girl, approximately five years old.
According to the prosecution, Newton had been active on a chat site since 2016, and it was during this period that he received and stored the illicit images. The offences spanned from October 2016 to September 2017, indicating a prolonged period of illegal activity. Newton admitted to police that he was aware of the wrongfulness of his actions but explained that he found it easier to communicate with others through online chat platforms rather than face-to-face interactions.
During his police interview, Newton was described as being 'very emotional.' He expressed remorse, stating that he had 'let people down.' The court heard that Newton’s actions had caused significant concern, and the severity of the images found on his devices underscored the gravity of the case.
Following his admission, the magistrates decided to send Newton to Lincoln Crown Court for sentencing, with the date to be confirmed. They also ordered him to register as a sex offender within three days and granted him unconditional bail, allowing him to remain free until his sentencing hearing. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat child exploitation and the importance of vigilance in protecting vulnerable victims from such heinous crimes.
