Man sentenced for indecent image offences after police raid
David Seccull appeared at Warwick Crown Court on Friday
A 68-year-old man has been sentenced for indecent image offences.
It follows an investigation by Warwickshire Police, with David Seccull appearing at Warwick Crown Court on Friday (23 May 2025).
It follows a warrant which took place at his address in August last year, where evidence of making indecent images of children was found.
His devices were seized and a forensic examination took place which resulted in the following charges:
- Making and Distributing Category A, Category B and Category C images
- Possession of Prohibited Images
- Possession of Extreme Images
- Possession of a bladed article (due to a separate incident where he turned up answering bail with a knife)
Seccull pleaded guilty to the offences and was remanded in custody.
On Friday he was sentenced to three years and two months imprisonment.
Following the sentence, investigating officer PC Naomi Radford said: “Seccull had almost completed his time as a managed sex offender, when we received valuable intelligence that he was continuing to offend.
“Our Sex Offender Management Team secured a warrant, which secured the evidence. Hopefully this case shows that even when offenders think we are not watching them, we are always there and if you continue to engage in illegal activity online then we will work hard to prosecute you.
“I hope prison serves as a reminder to Seccull of the harm his behaviour has caused to his victims. He will now be on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and will also be subject to a robust Sexual Harm Prevention order.”
