Ryan Macer

Ryan Macer, 36, of Betteridge Close, Kingston Bagpuize, was jailed for five years at Oxford Crown Court on Friday, May 16, 2025, for multiple child sex offences. Described by the court as a 'dangerous predator', Macer had pleaded guilty in an earlier hearing to six counts of sexual activity with a child, three counts of possession of indecent images, one count of meeting a child following grooming, one count of sexual communication with a child, and one count of possession of extreme pornography.

The offences involved direct abuse and online grooming, highlighting Macer's exploitative behaviour towards minors. The prosecution detailed the evidence gathered, including digital records and victim statements.

Thames Valley Police's thorough investigation led to Macer's conviction, ensuring he was removed from society to prevent further harm. This case exemplifies the risks posed by individuals who target children both offline and online.
