Ipswich Crown Court Sentencing Results

Kieran Hibble was riding a motorcycle over the speed limit in Queen Street, Colchester, in May 2024, when he collided with an 84-year-old pedestrian, causing serious injuries that required urgent hospital treatment. Witnesses reported him reaching out to strike other road users during the incident. Additionally, he was found to have breached multiple court orders, including using multiple devices to contact prohibited individuals and riding motorcycles without a licence in restricted areas.

Mark Ling, a former police officer, used false personas to engage in explicit online conversations with children as young as 12 between March 2021 and February 2023. He tricked victims into sending sexually explicit pictures by posing as teenage girls and conducting 'loyalty tests' on the girls' boyfriends, using a phone belonging to a young family member and a photo of a real female. He was caught and sentenced for his actions.
