Ronald Barton Otley Paedophile

An Otley Paedophile, Ronald Barton, boasted that he will be “back in HMP Armley next month” while attempting to engage a teenage girl in conversation.

Ronald Barton, 57, connected with an individual he believed to be a 14-year-old girl on Facebook and had sexualised discussions with her.

On Monday, Leeds Crown Court was informed that Ronald Barton had been incarcerated for analogous offences in 2022.

He was also subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which he subsequently violated with these charges.

The court was informed that Ronald Barton operated his own gardening business for 25 years but is currently incapacitated from doing so due to exposure in his residential and professional environment as a paedophile.

Ronald Barton was incarcerated for two years.
