Dean Cassell

Dean Cassell is a convicted sex offender.

Circa 2017, he was snared in a sting by pedophile hunters after grooming and arranging to meet what he thought was a 13-year-old girl called Erica. Cassell arranged to meet "Erica" four times, but he did not go through with the meetings and was reported to police.

Although Cassell claimed that he had no intention of meeting "Erica", Cassell was convicted at Nottingham Crown Court in November 2017 and received a 3-year prison sentence.

In 2018, his lawyers appealed against Cassell's sentence, but the appeal was dismissed by three of England's top judges (namely Mr Justice Stuart-Smith, Lord Justice McCombe, and Judge Clement Goldstone QC) at the Court of Appeal in London after said judges ruled that Cassell's sentence was fair.
