Child Sex Offender Spotted in Gravesend Sparks Outrage

A convicted child sex offender, recently released from prison, has been seen roaming Gravesend, leaving locals on edge.

Offender Billy Nutt, Now Dean Web, Caught Shopping

Billy Nutt, who now goes by Dean Web, was spotted shopping in Gravesend today. The 34-year-old was jailed for three years after being convicted of sexually assaulting a four-year-old boy—a crime that horrified the community.

He’s believed to be living around Dartford and Gravesend, though exact details remain unclear.

Community on High Alert

A photo previously released by Kent Police is circulating among residents, who are urging parents to stay vigilant and keep children safe.

  • Locals have flooded social media warning families.
  • Parents are told to exercise caution and report suspicious behaviour immediately.

“It’s deeply disturbing to see someone like this walking freely among families. People deserve to know who’s in their community — especially when it involves child safety,” said one resident who spotted him shopping.

Kent Police Responds Amid Rising Fears

Kent Police have not issued a formal public warning but confirmed that offenders released under licence face strict conditions. These include limits on their movement, restrictions on contact with children, and ongoing monitoring by probation services.

“We understand that members of the public may feel anxious upon learning of a convicted individual’s return to the community. We encourage anyone with concerns or information to contact us directly. Where appropriate, safeguarding measures are in place in line with legal frameworks,” a Kent Police spokesperson said.
