A man has been jailed for 24 years for raping an "extremely vulnerable" 12-
year-old boy after the pair met on a dating app.

Stephen Ireland, 41, who co-founded Pride in Surrey in 2018, raped the child at
the flat he shared with his then-partner and co-defendant David Sutton, 27, in
Addlestone on 19 April 2024 after messaging on Grindr.

Ireland was also sentenced to a further six years on extended licence, while
Sutton was jailed for four-and-a-half years for making indecent photographs of
children and possession of an extreme pornographic image.

Stephen Ireland, who targeted me with endless abuse on here because I
oppose the chemical castration of children and the removal of protected
spaces for women and girls, has just been sentenced to 30 years in jail for child rape.

The court heard the boy had initially told Ireland he was aged 17 – but when
he later claimed to be aged 13, Ireland replied: "OK – we just have to keep it
a secret."

"Your response was telling," Judge Lees told Ireland, who sat in the dock
dressed in a large red T-shirt and showed no emotions throughout the
hearing.

"Far from finding that repugnant, you found that exciting, and sought to do it again."

On the same day, Ireland asked the boy if he would have a threesome and
sent the child pictures of himself and Sutton.

Jurors heard that Ireland sent a picture of Child A to Sutton, describing him
as a "14-year-old baby" who "wants to play with men's bodies", and the pair
exchanged messages about the child.

One could be forgiven for thinking there is a connection between men who are
anti-safeguarding and men who are predators...

J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling

Are you suggesting sexual predators would stampede to embrace a movement
intent on removing protections for women and children? Can't see it, myself.

It's not normal for 12 year olds to be on hook-up apps, it's a safeguarding red flag. I hope the investigation looked into the victim's life beyond his joining the app.

To think all those people would be free to adopt a young child.

Marion Harding, right, and partner Cathy were not the only people to raise
the alarm over Stephen Ireland

One is Louise*, herself part of the LGBTQ community, who says she felt “an immediate sense of unease” when she stumbled upon a Pride in Surrey social media post in 2021, “celebrating” International Fetish Day.

“The image was striking,” she says. “It was Ireland holding a leash, with someone in a dog mask on all fours. As a bisexual woman I don’t feel that ‘fetish’ is part of my ‘community’, and my instinct told me that there was something deeply unsettling about this organisation.” On further investigation, the person in the mask appeared to be a 17-year-old girl, says Louise.

“I was stunned. Where was the safeguarding? Given that my workplace had previous sponsorship of Pride in Surrey’s annual event, I decided to voice my concerns, only to be swiftly shut down and accused of transphobia. It was one of the worst times of my life.”

Undeterred, Louise also wrote to other Pride in Surrey sponsors, including Surrey County Council and the district and borough councils, to express concern about their support for Pride in Surrey.

“Over four years, I must have written over a hundred emails in the hope that someone might look into the organisation and check the safeguarding,” she says. “It wasn’t just that one image. I noticed that they were visiting schools, and I worried that their message wouldn’t simply be that it’s OK to be gay or have two mummies, but might carry a more sinister message.

“Then they began a campaign to have Surrey’s Police & Crime Commissioner Lisa Townsend removed from office because they decided she was ‘transphobic’, after she said that male-bodied people were not women. Wholly inappropriate given she is a democratically-elected official.

“But the response was always the same. Most didn’t reply, or they said whilst they were taking my concerns seriously, they were committed to showing how inclusive and diverse they were.”

Imagine responding to persons explaining their issues with fetish-themed events by accusing them of being transphobic... at best, it means "question nothing"... but yikes.

I never thought that I would say this.

But I feel sorry for the ex-Villa player who shares the same name as this lunatic.

In 2019 Surrey Police were chauffeuring Steven Ireland around in their "Pride Car"...

Who knew that David Smith would be the friendliest on that list.

…it’s good to see a sentence that fits with the crime, sadly so often we don’t see that so much…David Sutton only being sentenced to four and a half years, though…
