This is the reprehensible and perilous paedophile, and child molester, Paul McGahey, who resided in leased premises in East Tilbury before being remanded.
Paul McGahey was convicted of two child sex offences before the magistrates’ court but was referred to the crown court due to its superior sentence authority.
The father of five, Paul McGahey, currently in custody, was scheduled to be sentenced yesterday (Thursday, 7 August 2025) but unexpectedly appeared via video link from prison.
The lawsuit is been postponed until 4 September.
Paul McGahey is guilty of the offences of:
- Arranging/facilitating commission of offence of sexual activity in presence of child / cause child to watch sexual act
- Engaging in sexual communication with a child
