In 2020, the Offender Database reported that Neil Cainey, the Weston-Super-Mare Paedophile Child Molester, evaded incarceration following exposure by paedophile hunters.
Neil Cainey, then 50, from North Somerset, appeared at the Crown Court and confessed to multiple sexual offences against minors.
The court was informed that Neil Cainey had reached out to multiple online personas he presumed were associated with young schoolgirls.
Neil Cainey transmitted several sexually graphic messages while impersonating a paramedic.
Nonetheless, the purported children were nonexistent and were, in fact, adult members of two paedophile hunting organisations named ‘Totnes Justice’ and ‘S.T.O.P.,’ who masquerade online as minors to apprehend sexual predators.
The ‘Totnes Justice’ crew identified the perpetrator and were astonished to learn he was employed at a nearby Pontins Holiday Park.
Neil Cainey was apprehended, and his devices revealed access to the dark web, where he had obtained category A and B obscene photographs of children depicting severe sexual assault, rape, and torture.
The judge imposed a rehabilitative activity requirement consisting of 100 hours of community service.
A sexual harm prevention order was enacted for a duration of five years, and Neil Cainey was mandated to register as a sex offender for ten years.
