And ANOTHER prolific offender from the Isle of Wight, Liam Trott Shanklin PAEDOPHILE, who violated a seven-year restraining order, will spend his time in jail while awaiting sentencing.
Liam Trott, residing on Grange Road in Shanklin, appeared before the Isle of Wight magistrates on Tuesday, February 25.
A 32-year-old individual acknowledged violating a restraining order in Sandown on February 23.
Prosecutor Leah Dillon stated that Liam Trott had recently been released from jail when he violated a seven-year restraining order by including his victim—his ex-girlfriend—in a WhatsApp group discussion labelled “family.”
The court was informed that the victim received a notification, identified Liam Trott’s number, and this was sufficient to instill fear in her.
Ms. Dillon stated that Liam Trott’s restraining order is effective until 2032, prohibiting him from contacting her or her children.
Ms. Dillon stated that he had not ceased communication with his victim, having sent her cards during his incarceration, and she is now apprehensive about his release and his potential actions.
Nick Muir, in defence, stated that Liam Trott experienced an emotional breakdown at that moment, was contrite, and conveyed remorse.
He stated that when perusing his phone and reviewing old texts, he was overwhelmed by emotions.
Mr. Muir said the court that Liam Trott established the WhatsApp group for his personal emotional welfare, and although it was a foolish and juvenile choice, he did not seek to personally reach out to his victim.
The court was informed that he did not anticipate her receiving a notification and believed she had altered her phone number.
Liam Trott, with 25 prior convictions for 44 offences, had his hearing postponed to March 21 at the Isle of Wight Crown Court.
Liam Trott was refused bail and detained in detention till that day.
