Robert Hawes

Robert Hawes (born c. 1961) is a convicted sex offender.

Circa 2017, he was snared in a sting by The Hunted One after chatting to what he thought was a 10-year-old and an 11-year-old online. In actual fact, Hawes was talking to The Hunted One.

He made arrangements to meet the purported 10-year-old, and a meeting was scheduled to take place on 7 April 2017. Ultimately, Hawkes did not go - instead he went with his son on a rugby tour. Although Hawkes did not turn up to the aforementioned meeting, The Hunted One tipped off police, and Hawes was later arrested.

As a result of his actions, Hawes received a 20-month prison sentence and was placed on the sex offenders' register for 10 years. He was also made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
