In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Peter James Morris—originally of Crumlin, County Antrim—has taken up residence in Coolacrim, Killersher, County Fermanagh. Morris is a convicted sex offender with a documented history of possessing extreme material, including child rape and bestiality. It was reported that the investigation into his conduct began after he inadvertently left a computer disc containing child rape images in an internet cafe, which was subsequently handed over to the authorities.
The investigation established that following the discovery at the internet cafe, police conducted a raid on his home address. Officers uncovered a prolific collection of child sexual abuse images stored across multiple computer discs and on his personal hard drive. The prosecution reported that further forensic searches revealed a series of bestiality images depicting humans engaging in sexual acts with various animals, including dogs, cows, and chickens.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Morris was a former swinger who exhibited a highly manipulative and narcissistic personality throughout the legal process. During his trial and sentencing, it was noted that he was a narcissistic liar who refused to accept any wrongdoing for his actions, despite the overwhelming forensic evidence found in his possession. The investigation established that his pattern of behavior involved the active consumption of the most extreme forms of illegal imagery available.
Due to his convictions being repeatedly made public, Morris has frequently moved locations across Northern Ireland. For his actions in County Antrim and beyond, he remains a subject of lifelong notification requirements. The judge noted at the time of his conviction that his refusal to acknowledge the harm caused by his interest in child rape and bestiality made him a significant and ongoing risk to the public.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Morris is managed as a high-risk registered sex offender within the Killersher area of County Fermanagh. Due to the nature of his conduct—specifically his “high-risk digital habits” and his documented residence just two minutes from a primary school—his management is a critical priority for the PSNI. Authorities state that his manipulative nature and total lack of remorse require the most intensive level of supervision to ensure he does not attempt to access further illegal material or approach children.
As a registered sex offender for life, the defendant’s details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that his notification requirements are mandatory, and any change of address must be reported immediately. Any future residence in County Fermanagh will be subject to Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA). Any failure to notify police of his movements, any attempt to access unauthorized digital hardware, or any proximity to schools will result in immediate arrest to ensure the ongoing safety of the public from his demonstrated pattern of extreme sexual deviancy.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was found with images of child rape and bestiality and is now living two minutes from a primary school, do you believe that “Exclusion Zones” around schools should be a mandatory, lifelong condition for all offenders convicted of possessing Category A images?
