Carl Andrews

Carl Andrews, residing on Charles Street in Arnold, Nottinghamshire, has been sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court for a series of serious sexual offences. The case, reported by the Mansfield and Ashfield Chad on 31st October 2025, highlights the severity of crimes involving sexual violence and the possession of child exploitation material.

Andrews pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including rape, inciting a person to engage in sexual activity, assault by touching, and three counts of making indecent images of children. These offences demonstrate a pattern of predatory behaviour that exploited vulnerable individuals and involved the creation and distribution of illegal material depicting child abuse. The court proceedings underscored the profound impact of such crimes on victims, with the judiciary emphasising the need for stringent measures to prevent reoffending.

• Rape: Andrews was found to have committed this grave offence, violating the victim's consent and autonomy.
• Inciting sexual activity: He coerced or encouraged engagement in non-consensual sexual acts.
• Assault by touching: This involved unlawful physical contact of a sexual nature.
• Making indecent images of children: Three counts confirmed his involvement in producing or possessing category-specific child sexual abuse material, as classified under UK law.

In sentencing, the judge at Nottingham Crown Court imposed an extended sentence of 13 years' imprisonment, reflecting the extended licence period typical for dangerous offenders. Andrews was also added to the sex offenders’ register indefinitely, subjected to a sexual harm prevention order to restrict his activities post-release, and issued with a restraining order prohibiting any contact with his victims. Nottinghamshire Police, who investigated the case, provided evidence that led to these convictions, ensuring accountability for the harm inflicted.

The case serves as a stark reminder of ongoing efforts to combat sexual exploitation in the UK, with authorities continuing to prioritise the protection of vulnerable persons from such perpetrators.
