Maryport paedophile admits new offences while awaiting sentencing

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 06:09 · Archive

A 25-year-old man from Maryport has admitted to new child sex offences committed while awaiting sentence for earlier crimes.

Elliott Thompson, 25, from Maryport, has admitted to new child sex offences committed just a month after being prosecuted for earlier sex crimes. The offences occurred between September and mid-October while he was on bail and awaiting sentence at Preston.

Thompson pleaded guilty to the new offences, which include sexual communication with a 15-year-old girl in which he discussed sexually abusing her. He also admitted breaching his Sex Offender Register obligations by failing to declare three online accounts—TikTok, Telegram and PayPal—which he had opened without notification.

Following his August conviction for sexual communication with a child, child abduction and engaging in sexual activity with a child following grooming, Thompson was placed under strict conditions. He was banned from unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18 and required to declare all online accounts. During a police visit on 22 September to his home in Gilmour Street, Maryport where he was living with his mother, officers discovered the undeclared accounts and explained the importance of complying with notification requirements.

Thompson is now awaiting sentencing at Carlisle's Rickergate court for both the earlier offences and these new breaches.
