Guilty on Multiple Child Sex Offence Counts

The Sick Plot Exposed
The court heard how Anderssen used social media to discuss paying for sex with the supposed seven-year-old daughter of the person he was talking to. A meeting date was set but Anderssen later cancelled, doubting whether the child was real.
Wiltshire Police swooped on Anderssen at his home on December 9, 2021. They seized multiple electronic devices, uncovering evidence he had searched for and downloaded child abuse material.
Police Urge Public to Report Child Exploitation
Wiltshire Police continue their fight to protect vulnerable children and bring offenders like Anderssen to justice. They urge anyone with information about child exploitation to come forward and report it immediately.
