Paedo who avoided jail due to transgender status is hauled back to court for breaching sex order
SICK CRIMES Paedo who avoided jail due to transgender status is hauled back to court for breaching sex order A PAEDO who avoided jail due to their transgender status has been hauled back to court for breaching a sexual prevention order. Peter Selby was handed a suspended sentence after being caught with a sick stash of material of children as young as three. 2 Peter Selby previously dodged jail because of his transgender status Credit: NNP At the time, a judge told the 71-year-old: "You are someone who identifies as transgender and the impact of custody would be significant for you in the circumstances." Selby has now been dragged back to the court for breaching a sexual harm prevention order just nine months after it was imposed. The fiend, who was referred to as "he" in court, pleaded guilty to the offence. But Selby once again avoided jail and was handed a ten month sentence, suspended for 18 months. Judge Robert Adams said: "You would undoubtedly be at risk of physical or sexual assault in custody because of your presentation in a male prison." Newcastle Crown Court heard police had gone to Selby's home to carry out a risk review in March 2023 and his internet enabled devices were inspected. Prosecutor Rachael Glover said: "During a search of the laptop, the officer found VPN software downloaded to the device and set up with the name of the defendant along with his email address. "A further search by the officer in relation to the settings showed the VPN was activated and the defendant was arrested." The court heard no illegal activity or images were detected on the device but a VPN can be used to mask IP addresses. There was no mention of Selby's transgender identity at today's hearing but Judge Adams told him: 'You have been wearing women's clothing for the last 30 years. "Your family have distanced themselves from you as a result." Selby, who was born male, admitted three charges of making indecent images of children and one of possessing extreme pornography in June 2022. He was found to be in possession of more than 125,000 child abuse images, which he found using sickening search terms. The judge at the time said he was assessed in a pre-sentence report as being "manageable in the community". She added: "You identify as transgender and that has caused issues for you and anxiety for you in how you would cope with that if you were sent immediately to prison.'

Transgender paedophile dodges jail AGAIN after breaching a court order - three years after avoiding prison over cache of 125,000 abuse images
A sex offender whose transgender status helped him stay out of jail after being caught with 125,000 child abuse images has avoided prison time again. In June 2022, Peter Selby received a suspended sentence for amassing a vile collection of pictures and videos featuring children as young as three. The paedophile, who was born male, admitted three charges of making indecent images of children and one of possessing extreme pornography, which involved an adult engaged in bestiality. Making indecent images of children carries a maximum ten-year prison sentence but Selby was given a 14-month sentence, which was suspended for two years. A judge told him at the time: 'You are someone who identifies as transgender and the impact of custody would be significant for you in the circumstances.' The judge said she was suspending the sentence because Selby had sought counselling since being arrested in 2019, and was assessed in a pre-sentence report as being 'manageable in the community'. Selby was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register and abide by a sexual harm prevention order, which prevents him using private browsing or VPN software for ten years. The 71-year-old, was back at Newcastle Crown Court today after he admitted breach of the sexual harm prevention order just nine months after it was imposed. Selby, who was referred to as 'he' in court, has shoulder length hair, a bust and was wearing lipstick during the hearing. Prosecutor Rachael Glover said police had gone to Selby's home to carry out a risk review in March 2023 and his internet enabled devices were inspected. Miss Glover said: 'During a search of the laptop, the officer found VPN software downloaded to the device and set up with the name of the defendant along with his email address. 'A further search by the officer in relation to the settings showed the VPN was activated and the defendant was arrested.' The court heard no illegal activity or images were detected on the device. Judge Robert Adams told Selby: 'A VPN had been downloaded, which was active and could be used to mask internet identity or IP address when accessing sites on the internet. 'For obvious reasons, bearing in mind your previous convictions, that was a requirement of the SHPO, to make it difficult, if you were tempted, to re offend in the way you had before.' Judge Adams said Selby also has convictions for two offences of indecent assault in 1992, for which he was jailed for four months. There was no mention of Selby's transgender identity at today's hearing but the judge told him: 'You have been wearing women's clothing for the last 30 years. Your family have distanced themselves from you as a result. 'You have no history of drug use and no drinking since 2013.' Judge Adams said there has been no offending in the last two years and told Selby: 'You would undoubtedly be at risk of physical or sexual assault in custody because of your presentation in a male prison.' Selby was sentenced to 10 months suspended for 18 months with programme and rehabilitation requirements plus a £100 fine. The court heard Selby, who has expressed remorse, has health difficulties, including memory problems and claims to have no recollection of downloading the software, which the judge said he was sceptical about.
