Timothy Evans Camberley, a convicted paedophile, has received an eight-year prison sentence for seeking to engage in sexual communication with a minor and facilitating sexual contact with a juvenile.
Timothy Evans, aged 43 (DOB: 11/02/1982), from Camberley, received his sentence at Chichester Crown Court on Friday, 14 February.
Timothy Evans was previously known to law enforcement due to a conviction in 2022 for engaging in sexual communication with a female minor under 16 and for organising or enabling the perpetration of a child sex offence.
Upon his release from incarceration for those charges in July 2024, he was mandated to comply with the Sexual charges registration requirements and was subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) that imposed stringent restrictions, including a prohibition on contact with children.
From September 2024 to October 2024, Evans participated in sexual conversation with a kid profile he presumed to be a 14-year-old girl named ‘Jess’.
On this occasion, the child profile represented an undercover officer assigned to engage with other users to identify those who solicit children for sexual activities.
Notwithstanding the evident fact that the account belonged to a 14-year-old girl, Timothy Evans persisted in messaging and proceeded to delineate various sexual actions he desired to perform.
Timothy Evans proposed to the child profile that he might journey to meet them and concurred that their meeting would take place at a train station. He additionally devised arrangements to visit the residence of the 14-year-old girl when her parents were elsewhere.
Shortly after his final contact with the account, Timothy Evans was arrested and remanded in custody before being subsequently charged on October 24, 2024.
Matt Wythe, from Surrey Police’s Paedophile Online Investigation Team (POLIT), said: “Once we received intelligence about Timothy Evans’ online activity, we took swift action to arrest him and seize his devices and the intended victim was never subject to any physical sexual offence.
“The behaviour shown was predatory, so I am extremely pleased with this outcome.
“I would like to thank officers and staff not only in POLIT, but also colleagues working on the Violent and Sex Offender Register and High Harm Perpetrator Unit, who have collaborated to bring a registered sex offender to justice.
“This is a clear demonstration of our policing response to the ever-present online threat posed by predators towards children.”
