A paedophile from Kidderminster, Lee Greenhill, has been incarcerated for a series of sexual offences. Lee Greenhill, 46, of St Cecilia Close, received a three-year prison sentence after admitting to six distinct offences.
Their actions encompassed efforts to initiate sexual communication with minors, possession of obscene photos of minors, and possession of images depicting sexual conduct involving animals. Lee Greenhill was apprehended on January 17 of this year following West Mercia Police’s receipt of information indicating his online interactions with two females, both under the age of 16.
Lee Greenhill utilised images of other young males and feigned being a wealthy businessman, according to West Mercia Police. He displayed images of opulent yachts and automobiles to the children, asserting that he would take them on such excursions.
The conversations included that Lee Greenhill intended to have sexual intercourse with the children and included the sending of explicit pictures and videos to them. Following his arrest, examinations were carried out on all his devices, which provided further evidence.
Lee Greenhill was charged on January 18, despite denying the offences during his police interview. He later pleaded guilty to:
Alongside his prison sentence, Lee Greenhill has also been added to the sex offenders’ register for life. He was shamed as he posed in his mugshot wearing a Wolverhampton Wanderers football shirt.
Detective Sergeant Dave Meyer, from the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Team at West Mercia Police, said: “I’m pleased that Lee Greenhill will now face the consequences for his actions, and will rightly be identified as a sex offender for life. There is no doubt that he poses a threat to young people and without our intervention may have gone on to groom others online, escalating his behaviour towards contact offending, something we work day-in and day-out to prevent.
“This case is testament to the fact that our close relationships with partners in regional organised crime units, children’s services and the charitable sector are paying dividends in our fight to protect children online.”
