LGBT Pride Group Founder Sentenced for 'String of Sexual Offenses Against Children'

The founder of an LGBT “pride” group in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for what the BBC described as a “string of sexual offences against children.”

Stephen Ireland, 41, was sentenced to 24 years in prison by a judge last week for raping a child he met on a gay dating app.

Ireland met a 12-year-old boy online and became aware he was not of age, but told the child they could enter into a relationship as long as it was kept “secret,” the BBC reported.

The man took the young boy to an apartment he shared with another man he was involved with, 27-year-old David Sutton.

The boy told police Ireland raped him after the two smoked what turned out to be methamphetamine while also watching pornography together. Their interactions did not end there.

Police said Ireland later sent Sutton nude photos of the boy, whom he described as a “baby” and whose age he described as “naughty and kinky” in messages.

Ireland later sent the child graphic sexual images of him with Sutton and asked him to join them.

The convicted pedophile co-founded the Pride in Surrey organization in 2018. Sutton was a volunteer for the group.

Ireland was tried for rape, sexual assault, possession of “an extreme pornographic image,” and causing a child to engage in sexual activity.

Prosecutors said Ireland’s predatory behavior involved multiple other victims and took place over a number of years.

If he was a Muslim immigrant from Pakistan he wouldn’t even be under investigation.

Pride in what? That you are using men’s poop chutes in bizarre unbiblical ways, and vice versa? US State Department is infamous for flying pride flags at foreign embassies.

This is becoming more common by the day. There have been many cases of fags who adopted children who were abusing the kids in the news lately.

The most shocking part of this is that he was convicted and sentenced.

This is how they replicate themselves.

It’s who and what they are. Freaks that should be incarcerated or sent to Iran.

No mention of charges against his accomplice Sutton?
“Police said Ireland later sent Sutton nude photos of the boy, whom he described as a “baby” and whose age he described as “naughty and kinky” in messages.”
That statement alone, should have gotten him 15 years.

I don’t know which is worse. Child molesting LGBTQ sexual deviants or Mexican Human traffickers.

Involved multiple other victims and took place over a number of years.

Sounds like the United Kingdom courts are as lax as ours.

Unless your normal
