ANOTHER caught again - Finally jailed for 44 weeks / Steve Lancaster from DURHAM ā Serving in the Army when we caught him in 2020, he then got a suspended sentence. He then broke his SHPO in October 2025 and got another suspended sentence and then AGAIN broke his SHPO in May 2026 and now been sentenced in September 2026 and gone to jail for 44 weeks.
This is how pathetic the legal system is.. no deterrentā when we caught him they found indecent videos of children in the ten to 14-year bracket, two each in the most serious categories, A and B, and one in C, along with an indecent image of a child, also in the C bracket. But he was only given a suspended sentence then. He has twice broken his SHP0 and only got 44 weeks. He will come out and reoffend as he still wonāt admit he has an attraction to children. He uses the fact that he has PTSD because of being in the Army that does not make you predator Steve! You have always been one.
We stung Steve in a closed group as he was part of a ring with numerous other predators that my decoy was in. One of the hardest thing I had to do and it took 2 years to get all the main players. Steve was one of the worst predators I had and seemed even worse as he was serving in the army. I believes he was based in the Catterick Garrison. He shared s*xual photos of his wife, numerous ones of himself and also other women. He shared sensitive photos of within the barracks, himself in uniform and also of the tanks he drove and in the barracks. He witness numerous other men talk s*xually to the child decoy and was in rooms where indecent images were shared. He also took her into numerous chat rooms. He admitted when I interviewed him that he had numerous indecent images he shared and was sent in whatsapp groups.
Glad heās in prison now!
One thing that is dreadful, when he was caught for our stuff he was allowed to resign from the army and given full pension! They should hang their heads in shame for allowing him to do that
Below is the recent newspaper article the screen shots are in the comment as you have to subscribe to see it .. I will also put the sting video up
