Bristol Child Abuse Network 1985 – 2000, Operations Panorama and Parallel
Posted on 2016, October, 4 by cathy fox blog on Child Abuse
This article is to briefly link together a couple of articles and various court appeals surrounding the Bristol abuse network that Nigel Tucker was associated with. I will probably add to this, but wanted to get the links out quickly for other researchers.
Tucker is reported recently, Oct 3, in the Mail, to be facing extradition from South Africa for child sexual abuse offences [2]. Tucker absconded on 2 Oct 2000 [3].
I have just published 4 court appeals, 3 relevant to abusers in the network [5] , [3] and [4]
as well as a precedent, mentioned in an appeal [6]
Alan Ernest Tanner 10th June 1983 Court of Appeal [5]
Lee Nigel Tucker 29th January 2001 Supreme Court [3]
Brian Stewart Greenroyd, Alan Ernest Tanner, Christopher Leek, Kevin Paul Warfield 30 Mar 2001 Court of Appeal [4]
Cedric Malcolm Armston 6th November 1981 Court of Appeal [6]
The original story about the Bristol abuse network, was written up by Nick Davies in October 2000 [1]. The Police Operation involved was Operation Panorama, then Operation Parallel [1].
What is clear is due to Home Office targets and hence lack of money and resources, prevented investigation of child abuse, and many of the 60 suspected child abusers were not brought to justice [1]. This is shameful.
Members of the child abuse network included [1]
Christopher Leek was jailed for 12 years. Leek worked on the TV series The Bill for ITV [HT @mwalkerdine]
Tony Stevens aka Mark Underhill, jailed for eight years.
John Gay aka Army John was jailed for 12 years
Lee Tucker aka Nigel Tucker was sentenced to eight years. He jumped bail just before the end of the trial
Alan ‘Elsie’ Tanner was jailed for nine years
Sean Roberts, 44, was jailed for four years
Kevin Warfield, aka Kevin the Gerbil, tried on his own [4], was jailed for eight years
Gerry Wilkins aka Gerry the Dog was given two years probation.
Peter Clarke was jailed for three years for indecent assaults
Brian Greenroyd who had previously been convicted of raping a woman in 1987, was jailed for 17 months
Rob Hutchings, who had been convicted of gross indecency in 1991, was given a 12 month conditional discharge for indecent assault.
Peter Purvis, probation for linked offences
Alan Williams aka Welsh Witch (?)
Rob the Van Man (could be one of the others)
a vicar called Tim (?)
