The Offender Database has reported that Anthony Crozier, a Seaham Paedophile and Child Molester, who conspired to exploit two children sexually, has been sentenced.
Anthony Crozier has received a prison sentence after communicating online with an individual he believed may facilitate his abuse of two children.
