A vile sex offender from Gillingham has been locked up for five years after forcing an underage girl to send him explicit photos.
Offender Caught with Internet Phone Despite Ban
Tobias Dadswell, 21, was visited by police at his May Road home on 16 June 2025. Officers suspected he breached a Sexual Risk Order by possessing an internet-enabled phone – strictly forbidden under his terms.
On Monday 19 January at Maidstone Crown Court, he was sentenced to five years behind bars and will face a Sexual Harm Prevention Order on release.
“Dadswell’s offending despite his order shows him to be a persistent danger to children,” said PC Areolito Gashi. “His cruel actions have caused serious harm to a young person. This case is a stark reminder to stay alert and vigilant online.”
