Catfishing victim urges young people to 'tell someone about abuse'
A teenager who was catfished by a prolific sex offender has urged other young victims not to be "embarrassed" and to tell someone they trust about the which is not her real name, was tricked into befriending Max Hollingsbee online. He went on to threaten her into providing naked images. Now 18, she was the first person to report his crimes to the police. Detectives went on to uncover 13 other girls and young women who he targeted. Hollingsbee, 21, from Lurgan, County Armagh, was jailed for five years for a litany of offences including causing children under 16 to engage in sexual activity. His crimes fall into the broader field of online catfishing, where someone uses a false identity to gain the trust of a person before exploiting was 17 when he started his campaign of abuse. He pretended to be a younger boy or girl when contacting other young people before blackmailing them. Immy was 15 when she was targeted. She recalled the "immediate panic" she felt when she realised she was being catfished. She had been educated about catfishing in school but didn't think it could happen to her."In the moment you're so stressed. So my immediate thought was leg it to my mum's room. "I just shoved the phone straight into my mum's hands and I went: 'Help. What do I do?'"And she then phoned the police."Although catfishing is not a specific crime in Northern Ireland, suspects can be prosecuted under other laws. There are thousands of sexual offences against children reported in Northern Ireland every released to BBC News NI though a Freedom of Information request show the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) made 478 arrests for sexual communication with a child between 2019 and the same period, 175 people were convicted of sexual communications with a PSNI also recorded 799 offences in 2024 relating to the taking, possessing, sharing or publishing of indecent images of children. Alexander McCartney among NI 'catfish' cases Max Hollingsbee is not the only "catfish" to have appeared in Northern Ireland's young man from County Tyrone is awaiting sentencing on similar last October, Alexander McCartney was jailed for at least 20 years in what was described as the UK's largest catfishing case. He had abused thousands of children around the world and the extreme nature of his demands led to the death of a young girl in the United States. The case spurred the PSNI's new Trust Trap campaign, which uses footage from a BBC documentary on to PSNI Det Supt Jordan Piper "groomers like McCartney and Hollingsbee operate in a very similar way, concealing their identity online and pretending to be the same age as a child"."They use fake profile pictures, pretending to have similar interests to gain the trust of the child before steering the conversation to a sexual nature." Prosecutors said the availability of social media means the stereotypical image of a child sex offender is Kierans, acting director of the Public Prosection Service (PPS), said there had been a number of cases involving young males abusing children and young people online and that "trend seems to be continuing". "People have this image of paedophiles being creepy older men, but we are seeing younger and younger male offenders, perhaps because they have computer skills to follow through with their impulses."Ms Kierans urged parents to monitor their children's internet habits. Ms Kierans said Hollingsbee, McCartney and the case in County Tyrone were not connected – but the crimes had common were teenagers when they began seeking out younger victims, many of the children they targeted lived abroad and they also used popular social media apps to find and abuse victims, including Snapchat and Wizz. How does catfishing affect children? Marcella Leonard, an expert in the assessment and treatment of sexual trauma, said this type of offending has evolved over said that while the "recording of harm" is not new, the "diversity, breadth and capability of that technology, and how that has changed the type of harm" of the "biggest lessons from McCartney" was the impact on children "being made to do things, to harm themselves, by being blackmailed", she added."But also when an image is being taken of that, they think about: 'Where is that photograph, who has got that, how many copies have been made?'"Immy was diagnosed with anxiety after her experience with Hollingsbee and missed out on school during her GCSE year. What can parents do about catfishing? The issue doesn't just impact teenagers, according to online safety expert Wayne Denner."I'm in primary schools three or four times a week," he said."Three or four years ago, it would have been mostly secondary schools."Mr Denner said abusers use online games, such as Roblox, Minecraft and Fortnite, as well as messaging apps, with more children "getting access to technology from a younger age". He said using technology "in the bedroom, with the door closed, is not a good idea" and urged grandparents, as well as parents, to educate themselves. What can social media companies do about catfishing? The Online Safety Act came into force across the UK on 25 firms must now adopt measures including stricter age verification and identifying a person in their company "accountable for children's safety".A number of campaigners want to see even stricter rules for tech firms or social media bans for under-16s.A spokesperson for Wizz said the firm "takes the subject of catfishing very seriously and is fully committed to protecting our users". It referred BBC News NI to its online safety engagement said the sexual exploitation of any young person is horrific, illegal, and against its Kierans acknowledged it takes bravery for young people, like Immy, to come forward."This type of behaviour is very compulsive and these offenders seek bigger and bigger hits. "They leave a footprint online that police can follow."Immy said she was grateful to her mum for contacting police."Even with the relationship I have with my parents, it's still a very embarrassing conversation to have to have."If you don't tell someone who can think rationally in a situation like that, it could have ended very, very differently for me, 100%."If you have been affected by the issues raised in this story you can visit the BBC Action Line for support.

Minority Report-style map of Britain that aims to stop criminals before they strike by identifying local areas most at risk is being developed by experts
Experts are creating an AI-driven crime map of England and Wales that aims to stop criminals before they strike. The Government today announced a £4million investment in the futuristic project, which will use official data to identify local areas that are likely to see criminal activity, such as knife offences and anti-social behaviour. Police will then target these locations with extra resources, including patrols and visits to the homes of convicted criminals, in the hope of intervening before any offences take place. Peter Kyle, Science and Technology Secretary, said the project would draw on data from police, councils and social services, including criminal records, previous offence reports and the behavioural patterns of known offenders. The Concentrations of Crime Data Challenge will see experts from universities and businesses tasked with creating the model with the aim of making it operational across England and Wales by 2030. 'We want to identify areas that have a higher probability of experiencing crime,' Mr Kyle told the Daily Mail during a visit to the Met's central communications command centre. 'That means police can ensure officers are in the area and are able to prevent these crimes happening in the first place or respond before they escalate. 'The Met and other forces have an enormous amount of data on historic and emerging crime. By using that - and incorporating data from other authorities such as local councils - the model can become more accurate as time passes.' AI can identify patterns and links in evidence and sift through data more quickly than humans. Civil liberties campaigners have previously raised ethical concerns about the use of algorithms to try to predict crimes in advance. But Mr Kyle said the government's crime map would only use official data and not information from private sources, such as social media. He insisted any interventions police make based on the map's findings would be subject to 'human oversight' and insisted the system was merely an extension of traditional policing methods. 'Police forces throughout history have always looked at individuals who are committing crime and patterns of behaviour that indicate they will commit crime again - this is not new,' he said. 'But in an era where we are able to use digital technology and data to assist in that process we can't ignore the power of that technology to keep us all safe. 'This will be one tool alongside many others that crime fighters use. Human oversight and respect for the experience of senior officers will always remain at the forefront. 'We will not be using digital technology to blindly identify individuals on a vague probability. That is not what we are talking about.' The initial £4m investment aims to deliver a series of initial prototypes by April 2026. My Kyle spoke to the Daily Mail on a visit to the Met's Central Command Communications Centre in Lambeth, where he also viewed other tech innovations including 'first responder' drones. The gadgets, which will be deployed in London in October, can be sent to the scene of emergency incidents in minutes to give officers an overview of the situation and gather evidence. The Mail also saw a demonstration of a smaller device that can be used to search buildings for hazards, such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), before they are raided by armed police. Mr Kyle also viewed a van fitted with facial recognition cameras, which are already used in London and are now being rolled out across seven police forces – Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley and Hampshire. According to officials, the technology has already been used to make 580 arrests in London over the last year, including 52 registered sex offenders. Campaign group Big Brother Watch claimed the move 'represents a significant expansion of the surveillance state.' But the government maintains the technology will only be used to catch 'high–harm' offenders with rules to ensure 'safeguards and oversight'. 'What we are doing is ensuring that those people who are known perpetrators of crime are found, identified and brought to justice so they can't commit more crimes,' said Mr Kyle. 'People should be reassured that we keep people's digital information safe and secure and always act appropriately. Anyone who is not identified by these cameras has their data immediately and permanently deleted. 'There are criminals out there using data and digital technology to commit crimes. It would be absurd to suggest we don't use this technology to keep people safe.' This week, the Home Office said every community across England and Wales had now been assigned a 'named, contactable' officer to handle reports of crimes such as anti-social behaviour. Their details will be made available for residents on their local force's website, it is understood. The pledge was made as part of the Government's previously announced Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, under which forces have committed to respond to neighbourhood queries within 72 hours.

Police officers sacked after man dies in custody
Two police officers have been sacked for gross misconduct over the way they dealt with a suspected drunk driver who was arrested and later died. A disciplinary panel found the actions of Pc Grant Mackenzie and Pc Dean Hunkin, from Devon & Cornwall Police, amounted to gross misconduct – and they were dismissed without notice on Thursday, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said. It follows the death of Stephen Reardon, who was arrested on July 13, 2023 in St Austell, Cornwall, on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs and failing to provide a sample of breath. The officers had appeared before a misconduct panel accused of breaching the standards appropriate to the conduct of a police officer in respect of the exercise of their duties and responsibilities in relation to Mr Reardon. The IOPC said he was handcuffed and put in the back of a police van for the journey to Newquay Police Station. He became unwell during the trip. Officers gave him first-aid in the yard of the station after he arrived at the custody unit. He was taken by ambulance to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The incident was immediately referred by the force and an independent IOPC investigation was held, along with this week's misconduct hearing. The panel ruled that Pc Mackenzie be dismissed without notice and Pc Hunkin would have been dismissed without notice if had he still been a serving police officer. Assistant Chief Constable Glen Mayhew said: 'Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Mr Reardon who have our utmost sympathy. 'Through their actions, the officers undermined public trust and confidence in the force and did not fulfil their duties and responsibilities towards Mr Reardon. 'Devon & Cornwall Police made an immediate referral to the IOPC following this incident and has fully co-operated with the subsequent independent investigation. 'Due to Mr Reardon's forthcoming inquest, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.' Both officers are to be banned from policing as their details will be submitted to the College of Policing Barred List, the IOPC said.
