In 2018, the Offender Database reported that Damien Spratley, the Gateshead Paedophile Child Molester, a ‘relentless’ sex offender who exploited over 200 young girls nationwide through computer games and social media, was RELEASED and is now residing in Gateshead.
Damien Spratley created a fraudulent internet profile as an ‘appealing’ young lad to engage with girls through inappropriate conversations and solicitations for nude images.
Upon apprehension by the police, he was discovered in possession of obscene photos of children across many devices, following what a judge described as a calculated “campaign” of criminal behaviour.
Damien Spratley, from Gateshead, confessed to instigating sexual conduct with the 13-year-old.
He requested that two analogous acts concerning a 12-year-old and a 13-year-old be considered, and he pleaded guilty to 11 charges of creating and having indecent photographs.
In 2016, he was sentenced to three years and ten months in prison, required to register as a sex offender eternally, and issued a ten-year sexual harm prevention order.
