Paedophile Steven Pearson, 42, violated his bail conditions by being in the company of a female reported missing, whom he encountered online.
In October of the previous year, a little girl’s family expressed anxiety that she was meeting a stranger and could be in imminent peril. Police officers acted swiftly upon receiving information of a missing vulnerable kid in Colchester last year, locating her alongside the A120.
Local authorities promptly arrived at the site and identified Steven Pearson, who was reported to have been trailing the victim. The 42-year-old stated that he was merely traversing the countryside and assisting the girl.
Nevertheless, a prompt examination disclosed that Steven Pearson was violating bail restrictions related to other child sex charges, and upon inspecting his mobile phone, officers discovered messages on social networking applications that raised their apprehension. Steven Pearson, residing on Somerfield Road in Finsbury Park, London, was apprehended on allegations of sexual grooming.
