For those who weren't aware, the case involving Daniel Annis concluded yesterday with his sentencing hearing.

Whilst there'll be other enthusiast sites who'll be burying their heads in the sand, not wanting to report this for whatever reason, I feel those who deserve to be named and shamed, need to be named and shamed.

If anyone feels that this the inappropriate thread to post this, then please report me to any moderator who'll take the appropriate action by either moving or deleting the post.

Disappointing not to see a longer sentence, but at least it's a custodial.

I think this will naturally raise questions about vetting, DBS checks and how it was able to happen. I've seen posts suggesting that he was working contract services, right up to his first reported court appearance in late 2022.

On the latter point, I agree, and it surprised me when I read that he was able to attend Seaburn Rally in 2024 with a bus. Given it was commonly known then, if he wasn't turned away at the door, perhaps those around him should have strongly encouraged him to leave. It shouldn't have taken the Police to attend.
