Louis Beagen

Louis Beagen (born 1993 or 1994) is a convicted sex offender.

In 2014, he was jailed for sexual activity with a child, rape, and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. In relation to the associated proceedings, the victims were all under the age of 16.

Circa 2018, he was snared in a sting by Dark Justice and Guardians of the North after he groomed what he thought were three underage girls (two of the "girls" purported to be 13, and the third "girl" claimed to be 14). Beagen also hacked his father's Facebook account and used said account to communicate with the "girls". Furthermore, Beagen used his father's iPad and mobile phone to communicate with the "girls".

In actual fact, those "girls" mentioned in the above paragraph were nothing more than fictitious profiles set up by members of Dark Justice and Guardians of the North. Although Beagen's father was arrested as a suspect, it later became apparent to police that said father was completely blameless.

As a result of Beagen's actions, Beagen was jailed for 18 months and received a 10-year sexual harm prevention order. He was sentenced by Judge Daniel Williams at Newport Crown Court, and a man called Gareth James prosecuted during the trial.
