A Lichfield Paedophile, Andrew Wilson, has been incarcerated for many offences, including inserting smoke bombs into his neighbor’s letterbox, threatening them with a baseball bat, and severing their internet access amid a quarrel.
Upon his arrest, officers discovered lewd photographs of youngsters on his cellphone.
Andrew Wilson, aged 53, of Lichfield, was jailed for two years and four months at Stafford Crown Court last week (Thursday 19 June) after admitting a number of offences including:
Two counts of stalking involving alarm and distress – this involved him throwing stones, smoke bombs and eggs at a neighbour, threatening them with a baseball bat and interfering with their wi-fi and CCTV cameras
Three counts of making an indecent photograph of a child relating to category A, B and C images.
As part of his sentence, Andrew Wilson was handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a notification order for 10 years. He has also been made the subject of a restraining order indefinitely.
Andrew Wilson was ordered to forfeit the internet tampering device and mobile phone to police as well as pay a victim surcharge of £228.
The court heard how Andrew Wilson had taken a dislike to the neighbour merely because they had a dog who they would play with in the garden.
An officer who lead the case from Lichfield local policing team, said: “Andrew Wilson’s conviction and sentence sends a clear message that those who engage in such disturbing and harmful behaviour will be prosecuted and brought to justice.
“The safety and wellbeing of our community is our absolute priority, and we remain committed to protecting residents from those who pose a threat – whether through stalking or any other form of abuse.
“We continue to work closely with partner agencies to support victims and ensure Lichfield remains a safe place for everyone.”
