Richard Marshall

Richard Marshall (born 1980s) is a convicted sex offender.

In early December 2017, he was snared in a sting by Internet Interceptors after grooming what he thought was a 14-year-old boy called Jake. Marshall also tried to persuade "Jake" to perform a sex act on himself. In actual fact, "Jake" was nothing more than a profile of a fictitous teenager. Later, Marshall eventually confronted at his home by Matthew Gilbert and other members of Internet Interceptors. Marshall was later arrested

As a result of his actions in regards to grooming "Jake", Marshall was given a 2-year community order which entailed a sex offenders' programme, a rehabilitation activity requirement for 20 days, and 60 hours of unpaid work. In addition, Marshall was placed on the sex offenders' register for 5 years, and was made subject to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order. He was sentenced at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court by Recorder John Butterfield QC, and a man named Paul Spratt prosecuted during the trial.
