Richard Oglesby

Richard Walter A. Oglesby (born 9 February 1991) is a convicted sex offender.

In August 2011, Oglesby was given a community order for having sexual activity with a 13-year-old girl.

On 12 November 2013, it was revealed that he was subject to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order and could not have unsupervised contact with children. While subject to the prevention order, Oglesby started a relationship with a mother-of-three from Sunderland and was welcomed into her house. He did not tell his then girlfirend about his criminal past at the time.

There were times when Oglesby's then girlfriend left her house and allowed Oglesby to be at home with her three children. As Oglesby did not leave the house during such times, he was breaching his Sexual Offences Prevention Order. In addition, he breached the requirements of the sex offenders' register by not telling the police where he was.

One day, the mother heard rumours about Oglesby's background and authorities became involved. This led to Oglesby being given a four-month prison sentence suspended for two years. This sentence came with supervision and programme requirements.

Towards the end of November 2017, Oglesby was snared by Dark Justice after grooming and arranging to meet what he thought was a 13-year-old girl called Hayley. As a result of actions, Oglesby was jailed for two years and was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for ten years.
