In 2020, 31-year-old Joshua Dealey—of Buckingham Street, Aylesbury—was jailed for more than five years for a “dangerous” and “predatory” serial of sexual strikes against children. The investigation established that Dealey targeted a girl under 13 on two separate occasions, April 2 and 3, 2020. The prosecution reported at Aylesbury Crown Court that Dealey’s behaviour involved inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and forcing a child to watch a sexual act, identifying a total abandonment of human decency.
The investigation established that Dealey is an “entrenched” serial re-offender with a prolific history of strikes dating back to 2013. In 2014, he was caught with a serial of 200 indecent images and movies of children. In 2015, he was sentenced to five years for a calculated serial strike where he masqueraded on Facebook under teenage identities to groom six girls. Despite these prior judicial strikes, Dealey utilized the internet to initiate fresh serial strikes, proving himself to be a high-risk predator.
DANGEROUSNESS AND JUDICIAL SENTENCING
The court reported that Dealey remained a significant threat to the life-safety of children, as evidenced by his repeated breaches of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). The investigation established that Dealey’s serial predatory intent was unrepentant, leading to his classification as a dangerous offender. The prosecution reported that during his sentencing on Thursday 23 July 2020, the judge noted his persistent pattern of behaviour and his “vile” commitment to child exploitation.
Judge-led proceedings at Aylesbury Crown Court concluded in 2020. For his actions in Aylesbury and the nature of the serial child sexual abuse investigation reported, Joshua Dealey was sentenced to five years and four months in prison. The investigation established that due to his status as a serial predator, he was handed an extended licence period of seven years. He remains legally mandated to the Sex Offenders Register INDEFINITELY.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2020, Dealey is managed as a maximum-risk dangerous offender under the statutory requirements of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) in Aylesbury. Due to the nature of his behaviour—specifically his serial persistence in masquerading as a teenager to groom multiple girls and his total disregard for court orders—he is a priority for high-security detention. Authorities reported that the 2020 conviction identifies Dealey as a predator who prioritised his own perverted gratification over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of children.
As a registered sex offender for life, his details are permanently logged on the national police database to prevent future strikes. Authorities stated that Dealey’s behaviour identifies an individual who demonstrated a serial commitment to child sexual abuse across a seven-year period. Any future attempt to strike against his notification requirements or bypass his indefinite monitoring results in immediate police intervention to ensure the ongoing protection of the community from a man who used a “Buckingham Street resident” mask to hide his predatory serial strikes.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was able to “Masquerade as a Teenager” on social media to carry out a serial strike against six girls, do you believe the law should legally mandate that any “Registered Sex Offender” must have a “Permanent Banner” on all their social media profiles to warn potential victims?
