In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Chris Webber, 36, avoided an immediate prison term after being caught discussing the rape of a six-year-old girl with another predator. On appearing at Nottingham Crown Court, the defendant—of Alvenor Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire—pleaded guilty to possession and distribution of indecent images, as well as possession of extreme pornography. It was reported that Webber, a university graduate who once aimed to join the armed forces, used the alias Pool Fun 23 on the messaging app Kik to share abuse material and propose starting an incestuous family.
The investigation established that Webber’s digital devices contained nearly 3,000 indecent images and videos collected over several years. Derbyshire Police reported that the haul included 616 Category A images—the most severe kind—some of which depicted sexual activity involving a child as young as six. The prosecution reported that detectives also uncovered internet searches for terms including “jailbait,” “Lolita,” and “incest,” despite Webber initially claiming to police that he had never seen indecent images on his laptop.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that the sharing of these images took place within private groups of like-minded individuals rather than on public forums. Nottingham Crown Court heard that while Webber presented a risk to the public, the four-year delay since his last recorded possession offence suggested a realistic prospect of rehabilitation. The investigation established that the defendant sobbed in the dock as his defence successfully argued for his sentence to be served in the community under strict supervision.
Judge Nirmal Shant KC described the case as unusual and unique, noting that the risk could be managed through rehabilitation sessions and unpaid work. For his actions in Derbyshire, Webber was handed a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years. The judge noted that the 35 rehabilitation sessions and 150 hours of unpaid work were designed to address his mindset and ensure he remains under the close watch of authorities.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Webber is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) within the Derbyshire area. Due to the nature of his conduct in Ilkeston, which involved the active distribution of infant abuse material and the verbalised desire to harm a six-year-old, his management is a priority for the Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that his 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) is a critical safeguard, allowing police to monitor his digital footprint and ensure he does not return to apps like Snapchat or Kik to engage with other predators.
As a registered sex offender, Webber’s details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that his history of seeking out “incest” and “jailbait” content in Derbyshire requires permanent vigilance by offender management teams. Any failure to comply with his rehabilitation sessions, unpaid work, or digital restrictions will result in his two-year prison sentence being activated immediately to ensure the safety of children in the community.
