An elderly man who referred to himself as “cheeky Tom” before s*xually assaulting a girl on two separate occasions has been jailed.

Thomas Catcheside, 81, was shopping in Ely on 2 June last year when he walked past the teenage girl at just after 3pm.

It was a busy bank holiday for the Queen’s 70th Platinum Jubilee and the girl was handing out free samples of food outside the front of a shop.

Catcheside approached her and at first made general conversation, telling her that people call him “cheeky Tom”. However, he then s*xually assaulted her by touching her inappropriately.

The teenager, clearly shaken and distressed, immediately told her manager and police were called.

Just over a month later, on 9 July, Catcheside approached her again in almost identical circumstances.

This time, the manager of the store chased after him and managed to take a photo of him.

The image was then released in a media appeal and Catcheside, of Fanshawe Road, Cambridge, was identified and arrested.

In police interview, he claimed he’d only thrown a bit of paper at the teenager and denied s*xually assaulting her.

He admitted telling his victim that people called him “cheeky Tom” but said that was because of the way he “has a laugh and a joke with people”.

Catcheside was later charged with two counts of s*xual assault and was jailed for eight months at Peterborough Crown Court on Wednesday (15 November).

His sentence comprised six months for the above offences and a further two for a separate s*xual assault and assault by beating of a woman in her 20s in Haverhill on 11 February last year.

Catcheside was also placed on the S*x Offenders Register for 10 years and given a restraining order banning him from the shop in Ely until 2030.

A couple who carried out multiple s*xual offences against children have been jailed.

Thomas Surtees and his partner Zoe Williams were brought to justice thanks to the bravery of the victims.

The extent of the offending came to light after victims of Surtees reported they had been s*xually assaulted by the 37-year-old.

This subsequently led specialist officers from our Safeguarding Department to uncover further offending, including by 30-year-old Williams.

Surtees, of Wallsend, was charged with 16 offences – 10 counts of s*xual assault, three counts of making indecent images, one count of taking an indecent image, s*xual activity in the presence of a child, and engaging in s*xual communication with a child.

Williams, of Widdrington, Morpeth, was charged with six offences – two counts of s*xual assault, three counts of making indecent images, and s*xual activity in the presence of a child.

Both appeared at Newcastle Crown Court earlier this year, where they pleaded guilty to all offences.

They were remanded in custody for sentencing.

Yesterday (Monday) they appeared at the same court, with Surtees receiving a 15-year prison sentence with a five-year extended licence.

Williams was handed a prison term of 10 years with a five-year extended licence.

Both were also handed indefinite S*xual Harm Prevention Orders and must sign the S*x Offenders’ Register for life.

A prolific pa******le who paid to watch the exploitation and abuse of children in the Philippines has been jailed.

Leslie Fletcher appeared at Newcastle Crown Court today (Monday) where was put behind bars for almost six years after previously admitting a string of s*xual offences.

The 76-year-old became the subject of a complex investigation after Google and Microsoft flagged the sharing of indecent images on their platforms.

Specialist officers from Northumbria Police’s Pa******le Online Investigation Team (POLIT) arrested Fletcher and seized his devices – which were then scoured by a team of digital investigators.

When forensic examination of his devices was completed, officers had a range of evidence which documented a pattern of dangerous offending between June 2020 and July 2021.

There were incriminating conversations in which Fletcher requested photographs and videos of babies and children no older than 11 years old, as well as receipts and records of calls with people abusing their children.

Fletcher, of Brancepeth Close in Washington, was later charged and previously pleaded guilty to a total of 13 charges, including three counts of making indecent images of children, four counts of arranging the commission of a child s*x offences and four counts of attempting to cause a child to engage in s*xual activity.

Seven of the offences related to Fletcher arranging the abuse of children abroad.

A judge sentenced him to a total of five years and nine months custodial and issued a S*xual Harm prevention Order and forfeiture of his electronic devices.

Fletcher must also sign the S*x Offenders’ Register.

A man who tricked vulnerable women into his car before driving them to secluded locations and ra**ng them has admitted his crimes.

Nazim Asmal lured the women into his vehicle as they made their way home from nights out by leading them to believe he was a taxi driver. He then drove them to remote locations before subjecting them to serious s*xual assaults.

The first incident happened on the 3rd of October 2021. The victim got into Asmal’s car in Preston city centre. He drove for about ten minutes, r**ed his victim in the car and then dropped her off back in the city centre. She flagged a member of the public down for help.

The second incident happened on 4th of March 2023. The victim had been on a night out in Darwen and ended up in Asmal’s car. He drove her to a secluded area on the outskirts of Darwen where he then r**ed her. Asmal managed to get the victims phone number and called her at the start of April. She did not answer the call on that occasion because it came up with ‘no caller ID’.

Asmal called her again on 8th of April 2023 and this time she did answer. The victim recognised the voice as the man who had r**ed her but did not know his identity. She ended the call after Asmal asked the terrified victim ‘If she wanted to do something?’

Asmal r**ed his third victim on the same evening he made that call. The victim got into Asmal’s car in Darwen town centre. Driving her towards Bolton, in the opposite direction of her home, Asmal said: “You don’t want to pay for this taxi, do you?”

He stopped in a secluded area and r**ed her. He then dropped her off at her home address.

We identified Asmal after his black Toyota Yaris was picked up on CCTV cameras.

Asmal, 34,now of no fixed address but formerly Balaclava Street, Blackburn, appeared at Preston Crown Court on Friday (17th of November 2023) where he pleaded guilty to four counts of r**e.

He was remanded into custody to be sentenced at the same court on the 13th of February.

A 43-year-old man who confessed to committing s*x offences against a girl in the 1990s has been sent to prison.

Robert Elliot Edward Kennedy, previously of Northampton, was serving a sentence for similar offences in February 2022 when, during a conversation with a prison officer, he confessed to further historic offences that he had not yet been convicted of.

An investigation was launched by Northamptonshire Police which involved tracing the girl, who was now an adult living in a different part of the country, and speaking to her about what Kennedy had done.

She bravely agreed to support the case and detailed how, for more than two years in the 1990s in Corby when she was under 10 years old, Kennedy had subjected her to numerous s*xual assaults.

Kennedy was eventually charged with three counts of indecent assault and one count of gross indecency, all four of which he pleaded guilty to at Northampton Crown Court on October 24.

He returned to the same court this month (November 2) where he was sentenced to six years in prison with an extended sentenced of two years.

A dangerous s*x offender has been jailed after sending explicit messages and arranging to meet a person he believed to be a 14-year-old girl.

Naveed Sultan arranged to meet the ‘girl’ – actually an adult posing as a teenager – at Sutton Lawn park in Sutton-in-Ashfield after sending her a number of s*xually explicit messages.

Sultan turned up at the location but the woman he had been speaking to never approached him and just watched from a distance.

Nottinghamshire Police launched an investigation after the information was passed to officers via the company which employed 38-year-old Sultan.

Detectives were also made aware of s*xually explicit voice messages, videos and screen shots which Sultan had sent the ‘girl’.

After a detailed investigation, officers discovered Sultan had also been communicating s*xually with two other teenage girls and had attempted to work out where they lived.

He sent messages to one of the girls, aged 13, threatening to r**e her and also sent messages encouraging her to meet him.

Detectives were able to charge Sultan with a number of offences and he eventually pleaded guilty to two counts of engaging in s*xual communication with a child and one of attempting to meet a child following grooming.

At Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday (16 November), he was given a total custodial sentence of eight years, which will include five years in jail and a further three years on licence.

He was also made the subject of a s*xual harm prevention order that will limit his online activities once he is released from jail.

Sultan, of Sophie Road, Nottingham, was also added to the s*x offenders’ register for life.

A s*x offender who served a prison sentence for assaulting a woman at a gym is back behind bars after breaching a court order.

Hernando Ferraro-Cordoba, of Thorleye Road, Cambridge, was handed a prison sentence in January after his actions in the city.

The 61-year-old was also handed a S*xual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) until 2030, prohibiting him from attending or loitering near any exercise classes and groups, sports or leisure centres, gyms, swimming pools, sporting events or arenas without prior permission from the force’s Public Protection Unit (PPU).

He was released from prison in March but, four months later, on 6 July, police were called after a man was seen speaking to teenage girls near the YMCA – which also has a gym as part of its facilities.

Investigations revealed Ferraro-Cordoba was loitering in his car and asking girls to perform s*xual acts on him in return for alcohol and a drive in his car.

He was arrested at his home in the early hours of the following morning. Officers from the force’s Management of S*xual Offender and Violent Offender (MOSOVO) Unit were able to piece together his movements.

Their work showed Ferraro-Cordoba passed car park banners clearly advertising a gym and visited the YMCA forecourt twice in less than five hours, including just a few hours before his arrest.

CCTV captured him dropping off three teenage girls at the location and enquiries also revealed he had brought one girl flowers and asked two girls to go to a hotel with him - an offer they declined.

In police interview, Ferraro-Cordoba gave a prepared statement stating that he denied all offences against him, including loitering outside a gym, and claimed one of the teenage girls had lied about her age and wanted to start a relationship with him. He answered no comment to all other questions.

He denied charges of breaching a SHPO by loitering outside a gym and breaching his S*x Offenders Register notification requirements by ordering, and not registering, a new bank card.

However, he stood trial at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court in August and was found guilty of both offences.

His case was committed to Peterborough Crown Court for sentencing, where he was handed one year and two months in prison. His SHPO was ordered to continue until 2030.
