In 2019, the Offender Database recorded that Trevor Munday, 67, was jailed for seven years for a series of sexual crimes against a child. On appearing at Minshull Street Crown Court on Thursday, 12 September 2019, the defendant, formerly of Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, but now of Glebe Road, Sandbach, Cheshire, was sentenced after being found guilty of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and sexually assaulting a child. It was reported that the offences occurred over a five-year period between 2009 and 2014.
The investigation established a persistent pattern of predatory behavior. Derbyshire Constabulary reported that Munday targeted a vulnerable child in the High Peak area, subjected them to sexual assault, and manipulated them into illegal sexual activity. The prosecution reported that the investigation uncovered a sustained period of abuse that only reached the courts years after the initial incidents in Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Munday represented a significant risk to minors, necessitating a lengthy custodial sentence. Minshull Street Crown Court heard how the defendant’s actions involved the grooming and exploitation of a child during their formative years. The investigation established that Munday’s move from Derbyshire to Cheshire did not shield him from the historical reports brought forward by his victim.
The Sentencing Judge noted the severity of the harm caused by Munday’s actions and the impact on the survivor. For his crimes in Chapel-en-le-Frith, Munday was handed a seven-year prison sentence. The judge noted that the protection of children was paramount, leading to the granting of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), which strictly forbids him from having any contact with any child.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Munday is managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) at a high level of scrutiny. Due to the nature of his conduct in Derbyshire, which involved the long-term exploitation of a child, his management is a priority for the Public Protection Unit. Authorities state that his life-long registration and the strict terms of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) are critical tools to ensure he is subject to constant monitoring and is legally barred from any proximity to minors for the remainder of his life.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register for life, Munday must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of predatory aggression in Chapel-en-le-Frith and Sandbach necessitates permanent vigilance. Any future attempt to approach a minor, fail to disclose his location to the authorities, or breach the terms of his SHPO will result in immediate arrest and an instant return to the prison system.
