Danny Patrick

Danny Patrick is a convicted sex offender.

On 5 October 2012, after admitting two offences of making indecent images of children, he was made subject to a Sexual Offender Prevention Order banning him from having any unsupervised contact with anybody under the age of 18.

Circa 2017, he was snared after grooming several underage girls online. One of the girls told her mother about the messages, and said mother alerted police, but the police could not respond until the following day. Because of this, the mother turned to Internet Interceptors for help and gave them access to her daughter's account so that Internet Interceptors could pose as the 14-year-old girl.

Patrick tried to arrange a meeting between him and the 14-year-old girl while the girl's account was being used by Internet Interceptors.

Patrick did not turn up to any meetings, but Internet Interceptors handed evidence to the police. Some time later, on 8 May 2017, Patrick was arrested at his home.

Ultimately, as a result of his actions, Patrick was jailed for 2 years and 5 months.
