Labour Party shadow minister Eric Joyce pleads guilty to making indecent movie of child

Posted on July 8, 2020 by labour25

Labour Party shadow minister Eric Joyce was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register after admitting to making a sex movie with a one-year-old child.

The disgraced Labour MP was accused of making a movie in the most serious A category of indecency, on a device.

Judge Emma Peters said that the movie, found on a device, “depicts a number of children”.

“Some are very young, one is said to be 12-months-old,” she said. “Clearly a category-A movie.”

Joyce, 59, of Worlingworth, Suffolk was granted bail after pleading guilty at Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday and was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register.

Judge Peters also instructed that a report be prepared before the Labour Party shadow minister is sentenced on August 7.

She warned Joyce that the offence crosses the custody threshold, adding that the court “takes such incidents very seriously” as they “fuel the abuse of children”

Joyce was charged under the Protection of Child Act after being arrested on in Worlingworth on November 6, 2018.

He was then released under investigation until being summonsed to appear before magistrates this week.

The MP issued a statement about his charge on his website in June.

He said: “The matter of my charge, announced today, will be dealt with in the first instance on 7 July at Ipswich Crown Court.

“I will make no comment from now until all legal processes are at a close. At that point, I will make a full statement.”

The crime was said to have taken place between August 7, 2013 and November 6,2018.

Exeter city Labour councillor at centre of child pornography probe

Posted on May 4, 2018 by labour25

An Exeter Labour City councillor is under police investigation for child pornography offences.

Roger Spackman, 47, was arrested at a home address in Newtown for making pornographic photographs of children.

The Labour councillor had a 12-year career in Devon’s child protection services.

In 1998 he began working at Intervention Services for Devon County Council at a secure children’s home, occasionally working at other units. Before this, he was involved in the creation of Riverside Youth Café in Dawlish.

From September 2001 he worked full-time at a Secure Children’s Home until his role was axed in redundancies in February 2010.

Born in 1969, Spackman moved to Jamaica in 1972 before moving to Canada in 1974. After living in several Canadian towns and cities he returned to England in 1996.

Alongside being a Labour city councillor, in recent years he claims to offer ‘software support’ for a major UK retailer.

Between 2007 and 2010 he was Branch Secretary for the Devon County Council branch of UNISON – one of the largest in the UK.

He also chaired Exeter Labour Group between 2010 and 2014.

Cllr Spackman declined to comment when the allegations were put to him by a reporter.

Labour Lord Mayor jailed for child sex offences

Posted on July 23, 2017 by labour25

Leeds Labour lord Mayor Neil Taggart was jailed for 32 months on (Tues July 4) after admitting a string of child sex offences.

Police armed with a search warrant raided his home in Marlowe Crescent, Garforth, on September 23 last year while he was on holiday abroad with his family.

Computer equipment was seized including a desktop computer, hard drives and USB memory sticks.

Police discovered a total of 36,003 rape images and videos of children including 5,488 at category A – the most serious level.

Taggart served as Leeds Labour lord mayor, a Labour city councillor and chairman of West Yorkshire Police Authority.

Detective Superintendent Pat Twiggs, who led the West Yorkshire Police investigation, said after sentencing: “The crimes he pleaded guilty to represent a high volume of images – many of the most serious kind – and cover a significant period of time.”

The court heard that images featured children being sexually abused by adults – including children under five being violently raped.

Police also found 30 extreme images depicting sexual activity with animals.

Taggart, of Marlowe Court, Garforth, pleaded guilty to the offences.

Jailing Taggart for 32 months, judge Robin Mairs, said police had found a “library” of rape images of children on Taggart’s computer equipment.

Judge Mairs told Taggart: “I accept that both your personal and public reputation, that at one time stood high in the city, now effectively lies in the gutter.”

Another RISING Labour Party star appears in court over child sex offences

Posted on July 12, 2017 by labour25

Moray Labour councillor Sean Morton, 35, faces four criminal charges including photographing and distributing rape images of children some with animals.

Labour councillor and general election candidate Sean Morton appeared in court last Christmas Eve accused of a string of child sex offences.

Details of the case emerged as the Labour party launched their manifesto ahead of May’s council elections, when Morton, 35, was expected to stand again.

Insiders told how Morton, the party’s Moray spokesman on youth services and education, is a rising star in party ranks.

He is good friends with a host of senior Labour politicians and is part of the centrist movement behind the Leader of the Labour Party in Scotland Kezia Dugdale.

Both he and Kezia Dugdale were part of the Labour delegation that jetted to the US to support Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential bid last year.

Morton, whose mum Louise, 54, is a Labour activist, has posted snaps of himself and figures including Ms Dugdale, Mrs Clinton and her daughter Chelsea.

Morton, of Lhanbryde, finished third as candidate in both the 2015 Westminster election and last year’s Holyrood poll.

He made no plea or declaration as he faced four charges in a private appearance at Elgin Sherif Court.

One charge relates to taking indecent photographs of a child.

A second concerns possession of such photos, while a third relates to “distributing or showing” rape pictures of children to other party members.

The final charge relates to Morton being in possession of the most extreme child pornography.

No details have been made public but the offence surrounds images of “extreme acts” such as taking or threatening a life, sever injury, rape and sexual activity with animals.

The councillor — who declares himself a volunteer at bodies including Victim Support — was elected in 2012 to the Fochabers, Lhanbryde and Spey Coast ward, after working as a parliamentary researcher.

The Crown Office confirmed Morton appeared on petition and was committed for further examination and bailed.

No date for his next appearance has been set.

Drug dealing Labour councillor caught with thousands of rape images of children avoids jail

Posted on July 3, 2017 by labour25

A Labour Party councillor has not been given a jail sentence despite being caught with thousands of rape images of children and being a drug dealer – in his own ward.

Labour councillor Tom Neilson, 33 and his lodger supplied drugs from his home where wild parties were also held.

When police raided his property in November 2015 they caught his lodger, Brendan Evans, with a stash of illegal substences and drugs paraphernalia.

Neilson’s computers were seized and officers found thousands of rape images of youngsters some involving sex with animals.

The Labour councillor for North West Leicestershire District Council, representing Measham South ward since 2011, resigned following his arrest.

Neilson and Evans, 27, both previously admitted possessing drugs, with intent to supply.

Neilson, of Measham, Leicestershire, further admitted three counts of possessing rape images of children between 2008 and 2015.

Yesterday, he was given a three-year community order with a requirement to undergo an internet sex offender programme and carry out 180 hours of unpaid work.

Evans, also from Measham, who has previous convictions for drug offences, was jailed for 20 months at Leicester Crown Court.

Sentencing, Judge Nicholas Dean QC told Neilson: ‘You’re in a different position to your co-accused.

‘You’re a man of good character and your offending was carried out in a different way.

‘These offences are taken seriously by the court; if it happens again you’ll be going to prison.

‘Indecent images were found on your computer, a different form of offending which is as serious, if not more.’

He said he accepted the defendant looked at the images after ‘straying’ from mainstream adult pornography.

The judge said he also accepted the recommendation in the pre-sentence report that Neilson should receive ‘appropriate rehabilitation’.

Judge Dean told Evans he had previously been jailed ‘for precisely the same offending’ which could not be overlooked by the court.

The court heard Neilson allowed himself to be involved by allowing parties to take place and drugs to be used on the premises.

James Bide-Thomas, prosecuting, said the defendant also used drugs himself and passed on messages relating to dealing.

Nicola Moore, defending Neilson, said: ‘If he’s sent to prison he won’t receive any form of assistance.’

She said the indecent images offending was ‘combined with problems he had with his drug use’, which is now being addressed.

Vasanti Vaitha, for Evans, asked for credit for his guilty plea and said: ‘He knows there can only be one outcome today.’

Posted on April 28, 2017 by labour25

Labour Party city councillor Steven Bayes has been charged with making and hoarding rape images of children. The Labour councillor, who represents the Orchard Park and Greenwood ward, appeared at Hull Magistrates Court on the morning of Thursday 27 April.

Labour: PIE’s choice!

Posted on February 21, 2016 by labour25

Following Jeremy Corbyn’s election as party leader last September, homosexual Labour party member and former chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) Tom O’Carroll celebrated with fellow activists and Labour party MP John Woodcock at their Christmas party.

After a series of complaints from anti-paedophile activists a Labour spokesman said they had suspended his membership only last Tuesday. However, another spokesman for the Labour party informed us that “He could not be expelled immediately because party rules require an investigation by officials.”

Mr O’Carroll, 70, is the former chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange, Pie, which was formed in 1974 to campaign for sex with children including decriminalising intercourse with those as young as four.

In 1981 he was sentenced to two years in jail for “conspiracy to corrupt public morals” after police had seized more than a quarter of a ton of child abuse images. Some showed pictures of a man raping a one-year-old boy.

In 2006 he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for distributing child rape images. The BBC reported: ‘Children, mainly boys and some as young as six, had been filmed and photographed being raped and tortured.’

He re-joined the Labour party after his release and wrote a disturbing piece about the role of child mascots at sporting events.

He said they ‘must look the part… be lean, well-proportioned, athletic and good-looking’, with ‘every suggestion’ that they have ‘been favoured by the gods.’

Mr O’Carroll was on the NCCL gay rights subcommittee and had addressed its conferences. In 2014 he made headlines by revealing then Labour Deputy Leader Harriet Harman and former Cabinet minister Patricia Hewitt’s support for Pie by being affiliated to the National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL) in the 1970s.

Ms Harman refused to apologise for NCCL’s connection to PIE and for putting recruitment adverts in PIE’s house magazine.

Mr O’Carroll told reporters he had no comment on his relationship with the Labour party.

Deputy Labour party leader Tom Watson’s paedophile uncle

Posted on October 16, 2015 by labour25

It has now been revealed that Deputy Labour Party leader Tom Watson, an intriguing choice given that the current Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn seems sympathetic to perpetrators of child sex crimes, is related to a convicted paedophilic scoutmaster.

Mr Watson’s homosexual uncle, Peter Halliwell (78) of Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, was jailed last March for the rape of a nine-year-old boy that took place in the mid 1960’s when he was a scout leader in the Manchester area.

At that time, Steve Hoolohan the Senior District Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West only comment on this heinous crime was: “Peter Halliwell used his role as a scout leader to target a young boy in his care. This was a gross abuse of his position of trust in the Scouts and in the local community whereby he persistently exploited the boy for his own gratification.”

It was Labour MP Tom Watson who first tried to manage the very real Westminster paedophile scandal in October 2012, when he told the Commons that he had evidence of a child abuse ring with links to parliament and Downing Street. It is also possible that Tom Watson may have made some bogus paedophile accusations against certain politicians in order to damage the credibility of the paedophile investigation. In fact critics have claimed that Watson has used his campaign to keep the scandal pointing to the publicly perceived ‘right’ of the political spectrum. Indeed his name was conspicuously absent from a list of signatories calling for action against homosexual Jewish Labour peer Greville Janner in April 2015.
