In 2026, the Offender Register reported that four victims of John Huskinson, a sexual predator, had been commended by detectives for their bravery and resilience in the aftermath of his 21-year incarceration.
John Huskinson’s offending spans more than four decades and includes a series of non-recent sexual offences dating back to the 1980s.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Huskinson was accused of sexually assaulting the four victims.
All of the women are now adult women; however, they were abused by Huskinson when they were minors.
They came forward and provided accounts to specially trained officers, who were all concerned that Huskinson continued to pose a threat to minors.
In April 2022, Huskinson was discovered to have been engaging online with a member of an online activist group whom he mistakenly believed to be a juvenile girl. This was a more recent offence.
The ‘child’ was requested to provide him with naked images, and the police were notified.
Huskinson’s mobile devices were confiscated, and it was discovered that they contained numerous indecent images, including 13 Category A images that depicted the most severe forms of child abuse.
Huskinson, who is now 73 years old, was convicted of 15 sexual offences after a trial at Nottingham Crown Court last month, despite his continuous denial of his non-recent offending.
He was incarcerated for a total of 21 years at the same court on Friday, July 3.
He was found guilty of 13 counts of indecent assault and two counts of attempted rape.
Huskinson entered a guilty plea to three counts of creating indecent images of a child, one count of possessing extreme pornographic images, and engaging in sexual communications with a child.
