From a stalker who created 20 social media accounts to stalk a woman, to an Ipswich teacher accused of having conversations about sex with girls, here are all the criminals jailed in Suffolk this week.
1. Richard Cook
jailed for seven years after previously being found guilty of eight child sex offences.
A teacher from Ipswich has beenRichard Cook, of Lambert Lane in East Cowes, previously denied one offence of attempting to cause a child to watch a sexual act, three offences of attempting to cause a child to engage in sexual activity and an offence of arranging or facilitating a sex act he intended to do, namely engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl under 16.
The 48-year-old father of two allegedly committed the offences in July 2019 and the decoys were a mixture of police accounts and civilians from a paedophile hunter group.
Cook was eventually confronted by the paedophile hunter group after he had hoped to meet one of the decoy 13-year-old girls in Christchurch Park for penetrative sex.
Judge Talbot-Hadley sentenced Cook to seven years in custody and imposed a sexual harm prevention order for 15 years.
