Description

A “dangerous” man who raped a woman in a late-night attack near a filling station has been jailed for seven years. 

Darius Andrulionis, 46, began speaking to the victim near the BP filling station, in Lynn Road, Wisbech, at about 3.45am on 4 April.

She had been on a night out with her sister, but the pair had become separated at the filling station, while Andrulionis was part of a group that had stopped at the same location. 

Earlier, he had tried to dance with the victim at a nearby pub but she rejected his advances. 

Andrulionis approached the victim and sat on a wall next to her, near the filling station, but then dragged her into nearby bushes.

The victim begged him not to rape her, but he placed his hands on her mouth and neck to stop her from screaming, leaving the victim in fear for her life.

She tried to reason with him, but he continued with the attack, and she only managed to get away once he had raped her.

Police were called and Andrulionis was arrested the following day.

On Tuesday (15 September), at Cambridge Crown Court, Andrulionis, of Balding Close, Wisbech, was jailed having pleaded guilty to one count of rape before the case went to trial. 

He was also ordered to spend six years on extended licence, handed an indefinate restraining order against the victim, placed on the sex offenders register for life and must pay a victim surcharge of £228. 

Sentencing, Judge Andrew Hurst described him as “dangerous”, that he was only “faintly familiar” with the concept of consent and a “substantial risk” to other women.

DC Michael Childs, who investigated, said:

“Andrulionis is a predator who preyed on a victim in a vulnerable state and the lengthy sentence handed down reflects this.

“I would like to pay tribute to the victim; her bravery in coming forward and supporting us with a prosecution is admirable and has led to a dangerous man being jailed for a long time.”

A convicted sex offender has been jailed after breaching a strict court order by meeting up with children.

Jason Baker, 36, flouted a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) by contacting two 15-year-old girls.

The order was imposed in 2017 when he was given a four-year jail sentence for a sexual offence on a girl under 13.

He breached the notification requirements of the order and received a two-year community order in June 2025.

However, in September that year, he also met up with the two girls near to where they lived in Soham on multiple occasions and offered them drugs.

Police were informed and Baker, of no fixed address, was arrested.

He was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison at Cambridge Crown Court on Tuesday (25 August) after admitting three counts of breaching a SHPO, two of supplying class A drugs and one of making an indecent image of a child.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Paul Evans, said:

“Baker is a dangerous and predatory individual and is clearly a risk to young girls.

“I would like to thank the victims for their bravery and courage in coming forward in this case. A thank you must also go to officers from the child sexual exploitation hub, who played a vital role in supporting the victims.

“Sexual harm prevention orders and notification requirements are there to manage risk and safeguard the public. Breaching them is a serious offence, and we will take robust action against anyone who fails to comply.

“I would encourage anyone who has concerns about someone’s behaviour, particularly where children may be at risk, to report it to us so we can take action.”

A drug dealer who exploited and raped a teenage girl has been jailed for more than 22 years.

James Conroy, 43, of no fixed abode but from the Ely area, was arrested in September last year following reports he had been grooming the victim.

During a police search of a property in Soham, officers found signs of drug use, along with the victim’s belongings. Conroy was arrested and released on bail with conditions not to contact the victim or anyone under the age of 18.

A month later, it came to light that Conroy had raped the victim. He was arrested again and further bail conditions were imposed, including not going near the victim’s home. Officers also found three bags of white powder and £330 in cash in his car.

However, just days later, Conroy was seen leaving a shop close to where the victim lived and he began sending the victim a series of abusive, degrading and threatening messages across multiple social media platforms.

The victim did not respond to the messages, which included threats to murder people known to her, describing himself as "a martyr". In further messages, Conroy offered the victim drugs if she met him before subjecting her to further abuse, calling her names, telling her to die and threatening her with a meat cleaver.

The next day, officers stopped Conroy in his car at a garage in Ely and arrested him. A search of the vehicle uncovered 12 bags of cocaine with a street value of about £1000, along with a mobile phone and cash.

Following a trial in April, Conroy was found guilty of rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, witness intimidation, offering to supply cocaine and supplying a class A drug, namely cocaine.

He had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply a class A drug, namely cocaine.

At Cambridge Crown Court on Wednesday (19 August), Conroy was sentenced to 22 years and five months in prison. He was also given a restraining order, placed on the Sex Offenders Register and handed a sexual harm prevention order.

Detective Constable Melanie Millar, who investigated, said:

"Conroy exploited and abused a vulnerable teenager for his own gratification before attempting to control, intimidate and manipulate her.

"Despite being arrested and placed on strict bail conditions, he continued to pursue the victim, sending her a barrage of abusive and threatening messages and showing a complete disregard for the law.

"I would like to commend the victim for the bravery and resilience she has shown throughout this investigation and court process. I hope this sentence provides her with some reassurance that Conroy can no longer cause harm.

Description

A paedophile who incited a young girl to engage in sexual activity has been jailed.

Anthony Woodberry, 67, of Harvey Street, Eynesbury, St Neots, abused the child during one afternoon in 2023.

After the offence, Woodberry told the girl not to tell anyone what had happened. However, later that day she disclosed the abuse to her parents, who contacted police.

Woodberry was arrested the following morning and officers seized electronic devices from his home. Examination of his phone uncovered extreme pornography.

During the investigation, Woodberry admitted possessing the extreme pornography but claimed he did not realise it was illegal and said he was "just curious".

Following a trial at Peterborough Crown Court in June, he was found guilty of causing or inciting a girl under the age of 13 to engage in sexual activity without penetration.

At Peterborough Crown Court on Friday (14 August), Woodberry was sentenced to two years and four months in prison. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years.

Detective Constable Alice Tasker said:

"Woodberry exploited and abused a young child in what was a deeply distressing offence.

"The victim showed great courage in speaking out about what had happened, and I would like to commend her bravery throughout the investigation and court process. Her actions ensured Woodberry was held accountable for his crimes.

"Child sexual abuse can have a lifelong impact on victims. We take all reports extremely seriously and will do everything we can to safeguard children, support victims and bring offenders to justice.”

A paedophile who sent sexual messages to an undercover officer, believing he was communicating with a 12-year-old girl, has been jailed for seven years.

Michael Richardson, 49, started messaging the officer on Kik, a social networking app, on 28 January.

He sent sexual messages requesting “she” touch herself inappropriately as well as asking her to send a photo of herself so he could “make a video.”

Richardson was arrested at his home in Money Bank, Wisbech, on 28 March and officers seized his phone, which was found to contain 48 indecent images of children.

On Monday (3 August), at Cambridge Crown Court, Richardson, was jailed, having pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children, attempting to cause/incite a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity (penetration), attempted sexual communication with a child and attempting to cause a child under 13 to watch/look at an image of sexual activity.

Richardson was also handed an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely.

Detective Sergeant Julia Boon said:

Description

A man who had collapsed from drink and drugs sexually assaulted a Good Samaritan who had come to his aid.

Brenden Clarke, 33, collapsed in Bourges Boulevard on 4 February this year.

Two women, who had spotted Clarke while driving past, pulled over to help and called an ambulance.

As he came round, one of the women helped Clarke to sit up against a wall and remained with him to keep an eye on him.

However, Clarke, who was previously convicted of a sexual offence in 2009, began making sexual gestures towards her and tried to kiss her.

The victim immediately stood up to create distance and told him to stop.

Clarke then made further sexual comments and unsteady on his feet, attempted to walk into the road, forcing traffic to come to a halt.

The victim encouraged him back onto the pavement.

Clarke said he did not want to wait for medical help and claimed he was going to the probation office.

Concerned he may walk into the road again the two women walked with him.

However, while walking, Clarke again approached the same victim, sexually assaulted her and attempted to kiss her.

She removed his grasp and loudly told him to stop and keep his distance.

He repeated this behaviour before the victim pushed him towards a wall and he stopped.

On Wednesday, 10 June, at Peterborough Crown Court, Clarke, of no fixed abode but from the Peterborough area, was sentenced to one year in prison and placed on the Sex Offender Register for ten years. He had pleaded guilty to sexual assault and failing to comply with notification requirements of the Sex Offenders Register.

PC Niamh Skipworth, who investigated, said:

“This was a distressing incident for the woman was trying to help someone she believed needed medical attention. Clarke’s behaviour was disgraceful and left the victim shaken.

“I would like to commend the victim for her courage in reporting what happened and for the support she provided to officers throughout the investigation.

“This case demonstrates that sexual offending of any kind will be taken seriously, and we will continue to work to bring offenders before the courts.”

Description

A man has been jailed for ten years after he groomed a 14-year-old boy online and lured him to his flat for sexual activity.

Darren Moore, 57, began communicating with the victim in early 2024, and despite being aware of his age, turned the conversation sexual in March of that year.

Moore sent explicit photos of himself to the victim and described what sexual acts he wanted to perform on him when they met up in person.

On 8 March 2024, Moore encouraged the victim to travel by train to his flat in Ely after he had finished school for the day. 

The victim obliged and spent the evening at Moore’s flat, where Moore sexually abused him.

When the victim didn’t return home from school, his mum became worried and reported him as missing to local police.

After returning home later that evening, the victim confided in his parents, and the police were informed.

At Peterborough Crown Court on Thursday (21 May), Moore, of Market Street, Ely, was jailed after admitting one count of inciting a boy aged 13-15 to engage in sexual activity, two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a boy aged 13-15, one count of grooming, and one count of engaging in sexual communication with a child.

DC Dan Knight, who investigated, said:

“Despite knowing the victim’s age, Moore took the time to build a relationship with him online over the course of a few months, before he lured him to his flat and sexually abused him.

“The distress Moore has caused to the teenager, and his family, has been unfathomable, and I would like to commend the victim for his courage in reporting Moore, and supporting the investigation throughout.

"Grooming and sexual exploitation can have devastating effects on young people’s emotional development, mental health and self-esteem which stay with them into adulthood.

“I hope this sentence provides some closure to the victim and his family and shows that predatory behaviour towards children will not be tolerated.”

A paedophile who sexually assaulted a young girl has been jailed for five-and-a-half years.

Robert Clark, 47, sexually assaulted the girl over a 12-month period between summer 2020 and 2021.

The abuse came to light after the girl told her mum what had happened and she went to the police.

Description

A registered sex offender has been jailed after he breached a strict court order.

Police visited Vincent Flemons, 53, after the team in charge of managing sex offenders discovered he was breaching orders in place around him.

Flemons was given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) in July 2025 following previous convictions for offences involving children.

The SHPO stated he must not install, download, or use any instant messaging service which does not save internet history without obtaining prior written consent.

Thanks to monitoring software on Flemons’ phone, officers received a notification in February that he had downloaded a social media app which does not record chat history, and without receiving prior consent.

The SHPO further stated that any device Flemons used must retain all internet history, and that he must notify police of any change of home address within three days.

A further search of Flemons’ device revealed that he had also deleted several apps, including Instagram and Twitter, from his phone, and been staying at a property in Waterbeach without alerting police, both further breaching the conditions of his SHPO.

On Thursday (7 May), at Huntingdon Law Courts, Flemons, of no known address, was jailed for one year for two counts of breaching a SHPO and one count of failing to comply with Sex Offenders Register notifications, which he admitted.

DC Sonia Kauser, who investigated, said:

“Flemons was well aware of the conditions of his SHPO, but decided to breach them anyway.

“I’m pleased that he has now faced justice, and I hope this case shows how committed we are to managing sexual offenders and ensuring they comply with court orders.”

An electrician has been jailed after cyberflashing three women.

Liam Brodie, 34, received an inquiry about electrical work from a woman in September 2024 and agreed to visit her to provide a quote.

However, he became reluctant when he learned it would be the woman’s husband who would be meeting him.

The woman then noticed he had changed his profile picture from his company logo to his genitals.

She challenged Brodie, who claimed he had been hacked. The profile picture then changed to different photos of him naked.

In November 2024, a different woman contacted Brodie and, while arranging a quote for a job, he sent several images and videos of his genitals to her. She blocked him and reported the incident.

During investigation it transpired he had also sent unwanted photos and videos, along with strings of messages, to a former partner.

Brodie, of Barkhams Lane, Littleport, pleaded guilty to three counts of sending a photograph or film of genitals to cause alarm, distress, or humiliation.

He was sentenced at Huntingdon Law Court today (9 March) to two years in prison.

PC Coralie Skillings said:

“Digital indecent exposure, or cyberflashing, is sometimes dismissed as 'funny’, but it's a form of sexual violence.

“Brodie maybe thought because he changed his profile picture rather than sending the image directly, he would get away with it. However, his intention for the women to see the photo was there and that is an offence.”

Description

Liam Dennis, 25, from Orchard Drive in Wisbech, has been jailed for five years for rape and sexual assault after forcing himself on a woman following a night of drinking.

He was found guilty after a trial at Leeds Crown Court for the 2021 offence, which occurred while he was a 21-year-old university student in Leeds. Dennis denied the charges and had no previous convictions.

Judge Robin Mairs sentenced him on Monday, February 16, with a £190 victim surcharge.

Description

A church volunteer who sent more than 8,000 pages of inappropriate messages to a teenage girl and took part in sexual activity with her has been jailed.

Nam Vu, 28, groomed the girl who he knew from a church in Cambridge - but it wasn’t long before her parents became suspicious.

They discovered deleted screenshots on her phone of a sexually explicit nature, and a WhatsApp chat between the pair but all messages had been deleted.

On speaking to their daughter the girl denied any hint of a sexual relationship and said she was just friends with Vu, of Linclare Place, Eaton Ford, St Neots.

However more evidence then came to light, including a handwritten note from the girl found in a book, which detailed sexual activity between them.

The girl then confided in police what had happened to her, saying that Vu had made sexual remarks to her in the messages and encouraged her to take part in sexual activity, as well as touched her inappropriately.

Vu was arrested and interviewed but answered no comment to all questions asked by officers.

His phone was seized and analysed where it was discovered that in six weeks during 2024, there were more than 8,000 messages between Vu and the teenager – most of them sexual in nature.

'Putting my entire life on the line'

The messages highlighted how Vu began grooming the girl, offered to buy her clothes and complimented her.

On multiple occasions throughout the chat Vu acknowledged the girl was under 16, added that she could ‘ruin him’, said how he could go to jail and how he was ‘putting his entire life on the line’.

Vu continued to deny any wrongdoing however, at Cambridge Crown Court in December, eventually pleaded guilty to six offences including:

• Engaging in sexual communication with a child
• Four counts of engaging in non-penetrative sexual activity with girl under 13-15
• Inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity

Vu was sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court on Thursday (19 February) where he was handed a total of three years and four months in prison.

He was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely and given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), with strict conditions to monitor any future offending and contact with children.

Vu was also given a restraining order, to run indefinitely, preventing him from contacting his victim in any way.

'Never able to truly see the danger'

Detective Constable Lara Wycherley, of the force’s Child Abuse Investigations and Safeguarding Unit (CAISU), said:

“Vu engaged in highly sexualised communication with the victim in this case, whilst acknowledging her age and that he was in a position of trust.

“He groomed a vulnerable child for his own gain and his behaviour was utterly disgusting. I would like to praise the parents in this case who realised something wasn’t quite right, and urge other parents and carers to speak to their children about exactly who they are communicating with.

“The magnitude of the effect of Vu’s behaviour cannot be underestimated. In a victim impact statement given to the judge, the teenager told how the persistent nature of the abuse meant she was never able to truly see the danger she was in.

“She added that Vu repeatedly told her to keep quiet and conditioned her to believe that his crimes were her fault.

"Also of importance, she told how the abuse had made her lose all trust in men, changed her perspective on people in a direction that isn’t pleasant, stripped her from her childhood innocence and left an irreparable scar.

“We will do everything in our power to protect children from predators like Vu and, as this case demonstrates, bring them to justice for their actions.”

A convicted sex offender who shared explicit messages with what he thought were children on social media has been jailed.

Christopher Bradshaw, 32, contacted an account in May, not knowing it was a decoy run by an online child abuse activist group.

Despite the “child” telling him she was only 13 years old and still at school, he proceeded to strike up conversations of a sexual nature before sharing his number and moving the conversations to WhatsApp.

He also contacted another decoy account around the same time, with the “child” explaining she was only 14. Again, Bradshaw continued his explicit conversations and shared his number so they could exchange messages on WhatsApp.

Despite not using his real name, officers traced the phone number shared with the decoy accounts back to Bradshaw and later arrested him.

Bradshaw, from March, pleaded guilty to inciting a girl aged 13-15 to engage in sexual activity and failing to comply with sex offender notification requirements. He was sentenced to six years in prison at Peterborough Crown Court on Tuesday (23 December).

Detective Sergeant Rob Hutchings, from the management of sexual or violent offenders unit (MOSOVO), said:

“Bradshaw is clearly a risk to children. Protecting young people from harm is one of our top priorities and we will do all we can to bring offenders to justice.”

Description

A man who repeatedly raped a child over an eight year period has been jailed for 20 years.

Christopher Rudd, aged 34, of Wisbech was sentenced at King's Lynn Crown Court today (Monday 17 November) following a week-long trial in August where a jury found guilty unanimously of 12 counts of raping a child, 2 counts of assault (ABH) and one of causing fear of violence.

The court heard how the offences took place in the King's Lynn area and came to light in January 2025 when the girl told her family what had been happening. The court heard that in addition to the sexual assaults the child had been choked, kicked and punched by Rudd and one occasion her fingers were fractured.

At today's hearing Rudd was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment and a further four years on licence. He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life and is subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and indefinite retraining order.

As Recorder Rouse KC handed down the sentence in court he described Rudd as a "manipulative predator void of empathy" whose offending was "exceptional in its gravity".

In a statement read in court the victim said:

"I have been hurting everyday, for as long as I can remember, and there's no way to stop the hurting, or to feel anything else.

"(Rudd) abused me in so many ways. No amount of healing will ever change that, and I'll never get my childhood back even if I tried.

"Despite all this, despite everything I've gone through and endured, I am in a better place now.

"I finally don't have to live in fear, and I finally have the freedom to truly be myself and figure out who I really am behind all the trauma. I'm finally free, and I have my whole future ahead of me".

In her statement the victim's mother referred to Rudd as a 'monster' and said "Since finding out what happened, I have asked myself over and over how to help my daughter recover from something no child should ever endure. 

"I am doing everything I can to help my daughter heal. But healing is a long road - and I know I will be walking it with her for years to come".

Following sentencing Detective Constable Stuart Sansbury praised the victim for her bravery.

"From the outset of this investigation, the victim has demonstrated steadfast courage and it is testament to her that justice has been served.

"She has experienced a terrible amount of trauma and I truly hope today's result helps her begin a new chapter in her life, where she can be safe and thrive.

"I also hope that today’s sentence sends a clear message to others who harm, or seek to harm children and vulnerable people.

"Norfolk Constabulary takes reports of abuse extremely seriously and if this has happened to you or someone you know, then please come forward and report it to us, no matter when it happened. You will be given help and support by our dedicated teams."
