Martin Kirkwood

Martin Kirkwood is a convicted sex offender. He has at least one daughter.

In 2018, he was snared in a sting by Guardians of the North after grooming and arranging to meet what he thought was a 14-year-old girl called Louise. Although Kirkwood organised to meet "Louise", Kirkwood subsequently cancelled the meeting and said that he and "Louise” would have to rearrange. Some time after Kirkwood cancelled the meeting, members of Guardians of the North confronted Kirkwood at his house.

As a result of his actions, Kirkwood was sentenced to six months in prison suspended for two years with rehabilitation. In addition, he was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register and was made subject to a sexual harm prevention order. He was sentenced by Recorder James Wood, and a person named Jolyn Perks prosecuted during the trial.
