❗ Shocking News: Hospital Bed Antics Lead to Prison Sentence ❗
Adrian Sine, a man who sent sexually explicit messages while confined to a hospital bed, has been jailed. He thought he was chatting with teenage girls, but in reality, he was talking to decoys from a paedophile hunter group. Sine’s actions have left many incredulous, including the judge at Swansea Crown Court who called it “mindboggling.”
Between March 19th and 25th last year, Sine, from Swansea, believed he was contacting girls aged 13 and 14 through fake social media profiles. Instead, these profiles were run by adults specifically targeting offenders. Lying in a hospital ward, he shockingly discussed inappropriate topics and expressed shocking intentions while asking the decoys to keep their chats secret.
The court revealed that Sine, once thriving in the world of electrical engineering and theatre, has now lost everything due to the severity and shame of his actions. His barrister explained that the embarrassment and stigma surrounding his crimes led to his downfall, affecting his relationship, reputation, and home life.
During sentencing, the judge said the pre-sentence report was disappointing, given Sine’s lack of explanation and denial of a sexual interest in children. This led the judge to conclude Sine poses a risk that cannot presently be managed outside of prison.
The maximum sentence for his crime is two years, but thanks to a guilty plea, Sine received 12 months for each of the three offences to be served concurrently. He’ll serve half in custody and the other half on licence in the community. Additionally, he faces a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and must register as a sex offender for the same duration.
This case acts as a grim reminder of the dangers lurking even in unlikely places and shows the relentless work of groups and authorities in ensuring justice for vulnerable individuals. 📱📄
