In 2026, the Offender Database reported that Gerard Kendrick, then 32, of Barmouth Way, Vauxhall, Liverpool, remains incarcerated serving an 18-year prison sentence. Kendrick, a “vile” and “dangerous” sexual predator, was convicted of a “disgraceful catalogue” of 16 sexual offences, including rape and the distribution of child abuse material. His crimes, which spanned two decades, were only uncovered after Merseyside Police utilised innovative GPS technology to trace indecent images found on another paedophile’s computer back to his home in Vauxhall, Merseyside.
The court heard horrendous details of Kendrick’s “sickening” nappy fetish, which he used to degrade his victims. He forced young boys and girls to wear nappies during “vicious” and “violent” sexual assaults, some of which he photographed and shared with fellow predator Trevor Howard. One survivor bravely reported how Kendrick had thrown him against a bed before raping him, while a female victim detailed how he covered her mouth and threatened her while forcing her to “play the baby” in a depraved and “vicious” display of control.
During the sentencing at Liverpool Crown Court, Judge Robert Warnock reported that Kendrick had “stolen the innocence” of his six victims, who ranged in age from six to 12 at the time of their abuse. Despite Kendrick’s “deplorable” claims of remorse and his attempt to shift blame by claiming he was “hacked,” forensic evidence revealed over 3,400 indecent images on his devices. The prosecution emphasised that his “vile” behaviour was entirely for his own “selfish and sexual enjoyment,” with no regard for the lifelong scars inflicted on his victims in Liverpool.
As a result of his convictions for rape, sexual assault, and the distribution of indecent images, Gerard Kendrick was jailed for 18 years with an extended six years on licence. He was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for life. He is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) by Merseyside Police, remaining under the highest level of supervision. He will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 12 years of his sentence, and any future presence in Vauxhall, Liverpool, or the wider Merseyside area will be strictly monitored to prevent further predatory harm.
