In 2026, a young girl in Coventry was groomed by Leon Beckham, a paedophile, who was imprisoned.
During the course of several months in 2024, Leon Beckham abused the child by taking her on day trips across the nation.
Beckham was detained and questioned when the girl courageously came forward to share her account, and he then moved around the nation several times to evade capture.
He was discovered hiding beneath a bed at a residence in Hastings, Sussex.
Beckham was found guilty of having sex with a child and abusing a position of trust.
He was sentenced to five years in prison and a lifetime ban from dealing with minors on June 26 of this year.
Additionally, he will be permanently listed on the National Sex Offender Register.
