Police praise victims who helped arrest sexual predator

Published

Northumbria police praise courageous victims for their bravery which helped bring sexual predator to justice.

Kieran Kindley has been sentenced to 15 years, with an additional 5 years on license where he must serve at least 10 years of his sentence before being considered for parole.

The sexual predator targeted a woman and four girls in a campaign of sexual attacks in Ashington.

The 20 year old attacked his first victim on June 14 2020, sexually assaulting a woman in her home.

Police were able to quickly arrest and charge Kindley for the offense, which he pleaded guilty to.

However he continued his reign of terror.

In September 2020 he attacked and raped a teenager in an alley way in Ashington.

Only two weeks later, he sexually assaulted and raped another teenager, before leaving the scene and going on to assault two other victims in their teens.

Thankfully the brave rape victim reported Kindley to police straight away and they were able to apprehend him quickly.

The 20-year-old denied all the allegations put to him but was found guilty of two counts of rape and seven counts of sexual assault following a 10-day trial at Newcastle Crown Court in September last year.

On January 28 2022 Detective Constables Dan Anderson and Emma Hooker, who led the investigation, watched in court as the sentence was passed down.

The detectives hope this can give some closure for the victims.

Kindley of Lynn Street, Blyth, has also been ordered to sign the Sex Offender’s Register for life.

Police issue urgently warning following the brand new iOS update!

Published

Iphone warning - police warn of dangers!

While many are familiar with the swift file-sharing capability of Airdrop, Apple has introduced a new addition called ‘NameDrop’ in its latest iteration. Functioning similarly to Airdrop, this feature facilitates the rapid exchange of contact information among users, aiming to streamline the process of sharing phone numbers without manual input.

However, authorities have flagged serious safety risks associated with this new addition. They caution that this feature might make personal information incredibly accessible, raising potential security vulnerabilities.

Sharing your contact details does involve a confirmation step. Yet, there’s a risk of inadvertently sharing your information with strangers if you’re uncertain about the pop-up or its purpose. Moreover, providing a guaranteed and accurate contact could pose risks down the line.

For instance, a scenario could unfold where someone, wishing to avoid unwanted attention, offers a fake number. Unfortunately, if that falsified contact information is scanned, it wouldn’t serve its intended purpose.

Police have issued a warning regarding the default activation of ‘NameDrop’ in the new Apple update. They emphasized that with this feature enabled, anyone can swiftly acquire contact information including pictures, phone numbers, email addresses, and more by simply placing their phone near yours or your child’s unlocked screen.

The police provided instructions on how to deactivate this feature, advising users to navigate to General – AirDrop – and disable ‘Bringing Devices Together.’ Additionally, they recommended setting ‘contacts only’ in the Airdrop settings to avoid receiving unsolicited images from strangers.

However, some individuals countered the police advisory, suggesting it might be overly alarmist. One individual stated that it wasn’t a safety issue as both parties needed to acknowledge the exchange. Another pointed out the need for awareness about disabling the feature, even with consent to the exchange.

They highlighted the importance of being informed about managing these settings: “Done. Thank you for this PSA! Approval or NOT, thank you for sharing this information. Always helpful to know more than less!”
