A man from Rugby has been jailed for more than a decade after admitting multiple child sex offences.

Christopher Trezise, 46, was sentenced at Warwick Crown Court on Thursday, 7th May, to ten years and six months in prison.

Trezise was initially arrested in May 2024 after the Online Child Sexual Exploitation Team (OCSET) discovered potential distribution of indecent images online.

Forensic analysis of devices seized from Trezise revealed he actively participated in online networks and forums and regularly talked about abusing children and babies.

Investigators found more than 1,000 illegal images on his devices, along with evidence of sexual communication with a child and plans to meet an offender to sexually abuse another child.

Trezise was charged with:

  • Arranging/facilitating the commission of child sex offence – sexual assault of a child
  • Making indecent photograph of a child – Category A
  • Making indecent photograph of a child – Category B
  • Making indecent photograph of a child – Category C
  • Possessing extreme pornographic image
  • Distributing an indecent image of a child – Category A
  • Distributing an indecent image of a child – Category B
  • Distributing an indecent image of a child – Category C
  • Engaging in sexual communication with a child

Alongside his prison sentence, Trezise was identified by the court as a dangerous offender and given an extended licence period of four years.

He received a 15-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and is required to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for life.

Investigating officer, Detective Sergeant Jag Gill said: “Trezise is a prolific offender who thought the anonymity of the internet would mask the despicable level of his offending.

“The extreme level of content recovered from his devices was horrendous, and demonstrated a clear pattern of repeated and intentional behaviour and this severity was reflected in the length of his sentence.

“Our focus is the safety of children and the needs of victims. We will relentlessly pursue suspects like Trezise and anyone who uses the internet to groom, coerce, threaten, exploit or share abusive material involving children – working with partners and using all available investigative powers to bring offenders to justice.”
