@offenceregister: DAVID WINKLEY-BALMER PENRITH PAEDOPHILE JAILED FOR TWENTY-EIGHT MONTHS In 2026, David Winkley-Balmer, 30, of Mill Street, Penrith, was jailed for a total of two years and four months at Carlisle Crown Court after targeting a child online for explicit sexual communication. The investigation revealed that the dangerous offender systematically targeted a minor victim over the internet. Winkley-Balmer used social media applications to execute an online grooming campaign, sending explicit messages and attempting to force the completely defenceless child to look at and watch live sexual activity. Owen attempted to hide his illicit internet activity from law enforcement, but cyber forensic units intercepted his profiles, along with an active property burglary charge. Public protection units deprived him of his freedom, and the judge combined his criminal counts to ensure an immediate, substantial prison sentence. The Offender Database UK confirmed that David Winkley-Balmer was convicted at Carlisle Crown Court: Attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child (2 counts). Attempting to cause a child to watch sexual activity. Commercial or residential burglary. David Winkley-Balmer remains subject to: An immediate 2-year and 4-month custodial prison sentence with zero community service alternatives. A strict 10-year court-enforced Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) restricting all digital hardware. Active 10-year registration on the civilian Sex Offenders Register. Is this justice?
