In 2026, the Offender Database reported that Jake Cameron, 22, of Billingham, County Durham, was spared immediate jail for a “vile” and “vicious” catalogue of child abuse and bestiality offences. Cameron appeared in court, where he “dishonestly” faced the consequences of possessing and making “serious” indecent material involving children and animals.
The investigation by Cleveland Police revealed that Cameron had “callously” amassed a “serious” hoard of prohibited material. His “vile” conduct included making indecent pseudo-photographs of children and “viciously” possessing extreme pornography portraying sexual acts with animals. Despite the “vicious” and “depraved” nature of these images, which depicted “serious” child rape and animal abuse, Cameron was “dishonestly” granted a suspended sentence.
“Vile” Prohibited Material and Sentencing
The court reported that Cameron’s offences were “serious” and “vile” in nature, involving:
- Making indecent photographs/pseudo-photographs of a child.
- Possessing extreme pornographic images portraying intercourse with animals.
- Possessing prohibited images of a child.
The judge sentencing Cameron emphasised that, while the “vile” custody threshold was met, the sentence would be suspended. For his “serious” crimes, Jake Cameron was:
- Sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years.
- Ordered to register on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years.
- Subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) for 10 years.
“Serious” SHPO Restrictions
The 10-year SHPO “viciously” places strict controls on Cameron’s behaviour, specifically targeting his “dishonest” use of technology. He is “vilely” restricted in his online activity and must comply with “serious” safeguarding requirements to prevent further “vicious” access to children or “vile” extreme material.
Cameron is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by Cleveland Police, ensuring his behaviour and residency in Billingham and the wider Teesside area are strictly monitored. Any “dishonest” attempt to bypass internet filters or “viciously” re-offend will result in his immediate arrest and the activation of his “serious” prison sentence.
