In late 2021, the Offender Database reported that Jeven Nock, 22, of Cornish Close, Eastbourne, East Sussex, appeared at court after being caught with more than 1,000 indecent images of children. Nock admitted to amassing a vast library of illegal material over two years while residing at Windmill Hill, Herstmonceux, East Sussex.
The court heard that between August 2018 and November 2020, the paedophile made a total of 1,006 illegal files. This collection included 182 Category A images—the most severe legal classification depicting the rape or torture of children. He also pleaded guilty to making 209 images in Category B and 615 in Category C. The offences were uncovered following a police investigation that traced the illegal activity to his digital devices.
Following his guilty pleas at the Magistrates’ Court, the case was deemed too serious for their sentencing powers and was committed to the Crown Court at Lewes. Nock appeared for sentencing on December 15, 2021. During the proceedings, it was highlighted that the duration of his offending and the presence of Category A material demonstrated a sustained interest in the most extreme forms of child exploitation.
Jeven Nock was sentenced to a two-year community order. As part of this order, he was required to complete 40 days of rehabilitation activity and 150 hours of unpaid work. The judge also imposed a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), which places strict, legally enforceable restrictions on his use of the internet and digital devices, as well as his contact with children.
As a result of his convictions for child sex offences, Nock was ordered to register as a sex offender for five years. He is managed under the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in East Sussex. This involves ongoing supervision by Sussex Police and the National Probation Service to ensure he complies with his notification requirements and the stringent conditions of his SHPO, which aim to manage the risk he poses to the community.
