Still on catch up - SENTENCE ANNIVERSARY REMINDER –STEVE KIRKWOOD FROM HAYNES, BEDFORD who we stung on the 22nd October 2021 and arrested for s*xual grooming of a child. He was finally sentenced on the 30th June 2023

He received a video from a 13 year old performing a s*xual act on herself which he admitted. He really didn’t think he did anything wrong by speaking s*xually to children.

His family (not all of them) did not believe he was guilty and made various threats around the area they live… well………….

He was charged and pleaded guilty to the following:

11 counts of speaking s*xually to minors

3 counts of indecent images

Possession of extreme s*xual images

Possession of prohibited images

On the 30th June 2023 at Luton Crown Court he was sentenced as follows

2 years suspended sentence

10 years on the S*x Offenders Register

10 years SHPO

Seeing as real children were involved in this case, it is a shockingly low sentence!

Anniversary reminder - Noel Thompson from Camber Sands and Kent who we stung 4 years ago on the 28th June 2021 on behalf of Strike Uk and he was arrested for online s*xual grooming of a child. STILL NO UPDATE

He was initially handed into police on the 8th May 2021 but he had not been stopped and was still working and living on a holiday park. He had sent s*xual photos and video recording of himself to who he thought was a child and had a particular fe**sh regarding toilet activities. It turned out his mate knew he had been talking to children and that Noel had been talked to in the past about a real child he had been contacting. Staff from the holiday park also turned up and acted in a shocking manner that didn’t put their company in a great light.

Huge well done to Strike Uk

Lets start with this one -- SENTENCE ANNIVERSARY REMINDER – SENTENCE ERKIN ELIBOL from London – ELEVEN YEARS in prison!!!

He was stung by us on 25th June 2022 and arrested for meeting a child following s*xual grooming. He first arranged to meet who he thought was a 13 year old child after vile s*xual chat, sending her s*xual photos of himself and other people, but he never turned up. It was infact Connie who was in the group C&C at the time. He then started talking to our 14 year old child, and arranged to meet her and this time he actually turned up to the meet. His main objective was to meet a child and he used different methods to get to meet one.

ERKIN was remanded for a few months then released on bail. On going through his devices sadly a real pr***en child was identified, and he was arrested and remanded again. He then dragged all this through court, including the real child. Our hearts broke at what we heard in court and no amount of sentence will take away what the real child went through.

On the 28th July 2023 at St Albans Crown Court he was found GUILTY on ALL FIFTEEN counts. He will be sentenced in September and we will all be there to see him. In court he sat there all smug staring straight at whoever was in the dock giving evidence trying to intimidate with his smug face. Well not so smug now and I will enjoying staring at him whilst his sentence is given.

On the 13th November 2023 at St Albans Crown Court ERKIN ELIBOL was sentenced as follows:

11 years in prison

Life on SHPO

Life on SOR.

There is so much more that unravelled that we cannot reveal, I am so glad I did not know all this when we stung him or I am not sure I would have been able to keep it together.

All our love goes to the real child and her family. She is one strong little girl 💖 Our love also goes to other survivors of him. I heartbreaking case and one I will never forget. day and we all love you
