Offence Summary

Ian Strickland, a paedophile with a significant history of convictions, was jailed after admitting to a spate of child sex offences involving online chats.

Full Description

Ian Strickland, of Lesh Lane, Barrow, has been deemed 'dangerous' to the public and received an extended jail sentence for child sex offences. The paedophile, with a 'significant and worrying history' of previous convictions, admitted to a series of online child sex chats at Preston Crown Court.

On 23 October, Strickland was sentenced following his guilty pleas to the offences. The court highlighted his ongoing risk, leading to the extended custodial term designed to protect the public. This case was covered in The Mail's roundup of South Cumbrian criminals jailed in October.

The proceedings at Preston Crown Court emphasised Strickland's pattern of behaviour, with the judge noting the severity of his actions in targeting children online. His admission to the charges facilitated the sentencing, but his history underscored the need for an extended sentence.
