Nine Years Behind Bars for Liam Crosby
On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, Crosby was handed a nine-year extended sentence. That includes six years behind bars followed by a three-year extended licence period. The nightmare for Crosby isn’t over yet.
How the Case Unfolded
- The case kicked off in July 2022 when the National Crime Agency tipped off police.
- Evidence showed indecent images of a child uploaded from a Snapchat account linked to Crosby.
- Police seized his phone and found more sickening images plus numerous sexual chats with minors.
- West Yorkshire Police dug deeper and linked Crosby to offences involving a 15-year-old victim.
- A second arrest was made, uncovering even more damning evidence.
Strong Words from Police
Detective Sergeant Craig Stevens from Bradford’s Online Child Abuse Investigation Team blasted Crosby: “He has refused to cooperate with police or the justice system. He is a prolific offender who deserves to be behind bars for a long time.”
Police Call for More Victims to Speak Up
The police are urging anyone who may have been targeted or affected by Crosby’s online sexual offences to come forward and help bring justice.
