Description
A Rugby man has been jailed for more than ten years after he admitted carrying out multiple child sex offences.
In May 2024 we arrested 46-year-old Christopher Trezise and seized multiple devices after work by our Online Child Sexual Exploitation Team (OCSET) found he had been potentially distributing indecent images online.
Subsequent forensic analysis revealed Trezise was an active member of online networks and forums and regularly talked about abusing children and babies.
We also discovered he had more than 1,000 illegal images on his devices, and he had been sexually communicating with a child as well as arranging to meet an offender to sexually abuse another child.
He was charged with:
- Arranging/facilitating the commission of child sex offence – sexual assault of a child
- Making indecent photograph of a child – Category A
- Making indecent photograph of a child – Category B
- Making indecent photograph of a child – Category C
- Possessing extreme pornographic image
- Distributing an indecent image of a child – Category A
- Distributing an indecent image of a child – Category B
- Distributing an indecent image of a child – Category C
- Engaging in sexual communication with a child
Having pleaded guilty at a previous court appearance, Trezise was jailed on Thursday (7 May) at Warwick Crown Court for ten years and six months.
He was given an extended licence period of four years having been identified as a dangerous offender by the courts.
Trezise was also handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) for 15 years and ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.
Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Jag Gill said:
“Trezise is a prolific offender who thought the anonymity of the internet would mask the despicable level of his offending.
“The extreme level of content recovered from his devices was horrendous, and demonstrated a clear pattern of repeated and intentional behaviour and this severity was reflected in the length of his sentence.
“Our focus is the safety of children and the needs of victims. We will relentlessly pursue suspects like Trezise and anyone who uses the internet to groom, coerce, threaten, exploit or share abusive material involving children – working with partners and using all available investigative powers to bring offenders to justice.”
