flag Ben Kelly sentenced for stalking a boy, downloading child sexual abuse images, and grooming despite no prior record.

flag Ben Kelly, 31, of Eden Valley, was sentenced for stalking a young boy and downloading nearly 40 indecent images of children under 10, despite claiming his actions were innocent. flag He had initially been allowed by the boy’s mother to spend time with the child, offering gifts and lessons, but continued contacting the boy via TikTok and Xbox after being told to stop. flag Police found a kitchen knife under his mattress and recovered deleted images and explicit search terms from his phone. flag The mother reported severe emotional distress and harassment. flag Though Kelly had no prior record and sought counseling, the judge ruled his behavior constituted grooming. flag He received a suspended seven-month sentence, 20 rehabilitation days, and a 10-year sex offender registration with restraining orders.
