In 2021, the Offender Register confirmed that a police officer was struck in the face by a paedophile who had barricaded himself in his chamber at his parents’ residence.
Liam Perkins was apprehended for sharing his repulsive collection of child rape photographs with other perverts on the internet.
However, the THEN 30-year-old was released under investigation and subsequently caused a disturbance at his family’s residence in St Helens.
In a subsequent violent outburst, the father, who currently resides on Meredith Street in Garston, broke the front door of his ex-girlfriend’s.
When he was ultimately incarcerated at Liverpool Crown Court, he delivered a foul-mouthed tirade directed at a judge.
On March 18, 2020, police conducted a raid on Perkins’ residence in St Helens, based on intelligence.
According to Cheryl Mottram, the prosecutor, officers confiscated his two Samsung mobile phones, both of which contained indecent videos and photos.
A total of 17 Category A files, which are the most severe category and depict child rape, 17 Category B files, and 89 Category C files, as well as two animal pornographic images, were present.
The phones’ analysis revealed that Perkins had utilised Kik Messenger to disseminate six Category A, six Category B, and 19 Category C files.
Another paedophile responded to a Category A image sent by Perkins by saying, “Damn man, your stuff is great.”
The court was informed that the children’s ages ranged from 5 to 15, with the preponderance between 9 and 13.
According to Ms Mottram, Perkins conducted searches for “young baby pornography,” “very young,” “young pornography,” “young feet,” and “teen boy boy.”
During his interview, he acknowledged that the devices were his and provided a prepared statement. However, he denied having a sexual interest in children.
He was released under investigation; however, his mother contacted the police at approximately 3:30 a.m. on January 2 to report that he was intoxicated and causing a disturbance at their residence.
Ms Mottram reported that the police discovered him in his bedroom. She stated that he was “extremely aggressive” and “could not be reasoned with.” When he was placed on the ground, he kicked out at an officer, causing the victim’s nose to bleed.
He stated that he was unable to recall the attack and had a drinking problem during the interview.
He was once again released under investigation, only to return to his ex-partner’s residence in St Helens on February 1.
She closed the front door on him, and he repeatedly banged on the door, causing a glass panel to break. He later informed the police that he had been drinking again.
In addition to possessing extreme pornography, assaulting an emergency worker, resisting arrest, and causing criminal damage, Perkins admitted to three counts of downloading, three counts of distributing, and one count of possessing indecent images of children.
He had three prior convictions for four offences, including larceny in 2017 and public disorder and criminal damage in 2012.
The Kik Messenger conversations, according to Judge Gary Woodhall, demonstrated that Perkins was “fully aware” of the content he was sharing online. The child abuse images depicted girls and boys between the ages of five and fifteen.
Perkins confessed to being attracted to young adolescents, declared Judge Woodhall.
The judge issued a five-year restraining order to safeguard his ex-girlfriend and instructed Perkins to sign the Sex Offenders Register and adhere to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for a period of ten years.
Perkins shouted from the jail, “Bulls***!” The other day, you permitted an individual to walk around with 32,000 images.
He interrupted his rant to shout “love you, dad” to his father, who was seated in the public gallery. He then continued to rant, saying, “As for that five-year-old, I have never seen photos like that, fing Dhead!
“I did not send it; they did, Fing c.”
