This page provides a transparent, independently compiled record of UK court outcomes relating to child sexual offences recorded during this page.
Entries are grouped into two reference types: BF and PH.
BF (Be Frank) cases are verified court outcomes, cross-checked against official public sources such as police press releases, CPS statements, court reporting, or reputable media coverage.
PH (Paedophile Hunting) cases are compiled from publicly shared conviction / guilty-plea posters on social media by independent awareness and safeguarding groups. These outcomes may not always appear in mainstream media reporting, but can be included where a clear outcome is stated.
