Norman Winduss - Hull

Norman Winduss, a Hull Paedophile sex offender, previously apprehended twice for possessing abhorrent photos of minors, has been cautioned that he is now a “marked man” due to his “perverted” conduct.

He narrowly evaded incarceration, despite subsequently assaulting a police officer after exhibiting aggression and possessing a knife, as reported by Hull Crown Court. Norman Winduss, 34, of Boothferry Road, Hull, refuted six charges of producing indecent images of minors and an additional charge of possessing an extreme pornographic image; however, he was found guilty by a jury following a trial.

Norman Winduss then confessed to charges of attacking a police officer in the capacity of an emergency worker and possessing a spring-lock knife as an offensive weapon. Recorder Anthony Hawks stated that law enforcement discovered indecent photos of minors, including those classified as Category A, during a search conducted at Winduss’s residence in January 2020.

More indecent images were discovered during a second visit in December 2020 after it was found that he had access to a second phone. There were “far more” Category A images in the second raid than the first one.

“What makes your position worse is that you would not accept your guilt and insisted on having a jury trial,” said Recorder Hawks. “That was your right.” Norman Winduss had been convicted by the jury on the “plainest possible evidence”.

Police searched the home of Norman Winduss in June this year. He had “no business” having the offensive weapon. “You became aggressive and assaulted a police officer, who was simply carrying out his duties,” said Recorder Hawks.

“The police are entitled to go about their lawful business searching premises and the like without being harassed and assaulted by people like you. You have been in some trouble with the police in the past.

“There is some light at the end of the tunnel because the probation officers think that you may be developing some insight into your perverted behaviour. You are lucky that she takes the view that you can be safely managed in the community.

“You are now a marked man. If you do anything like this again, you are going to go to prison for a significant length of time.”
