In 2018, the Offender Database reported that Daniel Salisbury, then 31, of Rotary Gardens, Gillingham, Kent, was sentenced at Guildford Crown Court.
Daniel Salisbury was jailed for 16 months after being caught in a proactive police sting operation at Cobham Services on the M25. The court heard that Daniel Salisbury had arranged to meet what he believed was a teenage girl at the service station on November 16, 2017. Still, the individual he had been communicating with was actually an undercover police officer from the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU).
The investigation revealed that Daniel Salisbury was a repeat offender who was already subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) at the time of the meeting. This original order had been imposed following a 2014 conviction for the possession of indecent images of children, a restriction that Daniel Salisbury flagrantly ignored by attempting to solicit a minor for sexual activity.
Upon his arrival at the service station, officers pounced on Daniel Salisbury, arresting him before any real child could be harmed. He was subsequently found guilty of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence, as well as breaching his existing SHPO, with the judge ordering the 16-month sentences for both charges to run concurrently.
As a result of his continued predatory behaviour and disregard for court orders, Daniel Salisbury was placed on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely. He was also made subject to a further Sexual Harm Prevention Order to strictly monitor his activities and restrict his access to potential victims following his eventual release from custody.
