In 2020, the Offender Database recorded that then 51-year-old Christopher Ogier—of Guernsey—was scheduled for release from prison following his second custodial term for serial child abuse. The investigation established that Ogier was sentenced to five years in 2018 for five separate sexual strikes against a victim under the age of 13. The prosecution reported that these offences, which occurred between 2014 and 2016, included indecent assault, gross indecency, and incitement to commit acts of gross indecency.
The investigation established that Ogier is a dangerous recidivist who had previously served a prison sentence for a similar indecent assault against another young girl. The prosecution reported that during his most recent trial, Ogier prioritised his own self-preservation over the victim’s wellbeing by repeatedly calling her a “liar.” This calculated deception forced the young survivor to give evidence against him in court, though the jury ultimately saw through his falsehoods and delivered a unanimous guilty verdict.
RECIDIVISM AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
The court reported that Ogier’s behaviour identified a persistent pattern of predatory strikes against children. The investigation established that his refusal to admit his crimes and his history of repeat offending necessitated the highest level of judicial oversight. The prosecution reported that upon his 2020 release, Ogier would be subject to strict notification requirements to ensure the human rights and safety of children in Guernsey are protected from his “serial” predatory actions.
Judge-led proceedings in 2018 concluded that Ogier’s actions represented a total violation of the principles of human decency. For his actions in Guernsey and the nature of the serial child abuse reported, Ogier was incarcerated to serve his five-year term. The investigation established that his release in 2020 marks the beginning of a lifelong monitoring process, as his history of targeting multiple victims ensures he remains a priority for the island’s law enforcement agencies.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
Ogier is managed as a high-risk offender under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in Guernsey. Due to the nature of his behaviour—specifically his “serial” history of targeting multiple young girls and his aggressive denial of his crimes—he is a priority for intensive community supervision. Authorities reported that the 2020 release ensures Ogier is permanently flagged on national and local databases, meaning any attempt to hold a position of trust or interact with children in Guernsey or elsewhere will be blocked.
As a registered sex offender for life, his details are permanently logged on the police database. Authorities state that Ogier’s behaviour identifies an individual who prioritised his own perverted gratification over the safety and human rights of children. Any failure by Ogier to adhere to his notification requirements or his strict licence conditions upon release will result in immediate police intervention and a potential return to prison to ensure the ongoing safety of the public from a man who has repeatedly violated the principles of human decency.
QUESTION – Given that the offender “Repeatedly Called the Victim a Liar” to force her to testify, do you believe the law should legally mandate that any sex offender who uses such tactics should be automatically ineligible for early release or parole?
