Ben Newman, a 32-year-old Animal Rising activist, ran onto the track at the Epsom Derby on June 3, 2023, as the race was about to start, forcing police and security to intervene and remove him to avoid danger. This was part of an organised protest against the event, despite an injunction banning the group from intervening, and he was one of 31 people arrested that day.

Pleaded guilty. Judge Mark Ockelton criticised him for endangering police and security guards who had to remove him from the track with horses approaching.

Rupesh Seth

Facilitating child sex offence

March 1, 2023

Sentence: 39 months imprisonment

Rupesh Seth, a GP from Wareham in Dorset, travelled approximately 100 miles to Egham in Surrey in 2020 to attempt to abuse a 10-year-old girl. He used encrypted chat programmes to discuss child sex abuse and arranged the offence with a man he met online, who was actually an undercover officer. Subsequent searches of his phones revealed 41 indecent images of children, including 27 at category A level. There was no real-life victim, as the investigation involved law enforcement.

Admitted to trying to arrange and facilitate the commission of a child sex offence and three counts of making indecent images of children. His actions were described as deplorable and fundamentally incompatible with being a doctor, leading to him being struck off the medical register.

Christopher Cox

Inciting Prostitution for Gain

May 10, 2022

Sentence: 12 months imprisonment

Christopher Cox advertised a free room on Craigslist in exchange for sexual services from young women, expecting them to cook, clean, and provide sexual favours. Undercover researchers from ITV's Kyle Files posed as interested parties and documented his offers, including demands for women to wear bikinis and engage in sexual acts. Police investigations revealed messages confirming these arrangements, and a victim reported a 'sex for rent' setup where she was required to sleep in his bed and provide sexual favours. The incidents occurred around 2018-2019, leading to his arrest and conviction.

Pleaded guilty to two counts of inciting prostitution for gain and one count of controlling prostitution for gain.
