Full Description

Peter Selby, a 71-year-old transgender individual from Newcastle, convicted as a paedophile, received a non-custodial sentence for the second time, citing identity factors. This case raises discussions on sentencing equity in sex offences.

Listed on 2025-06-03, Selby's prior and current offences involved child sexual material possession and attempts at contact. Northumbria Police monitored Selby post-first offence, leading to re-arrest after new evidence emerged. The court opted for community measures, considering transgender status and age.
