Stephen Greaves

Stephen Greaves, of Norfolk Park, Sheffield, was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison at Sheffield Crown Court on 31 July 2026. Greaves admitted to five charges, including attempting to meet a child under 16 following grooming, attempting to incite a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity, attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, and two counts of making indecent images of children. The offences followed an incident on 26 July 2021 where Greaves travelled to Sheffield Station believing he was meeting a 14-year-old girl. Forensic examination of his phone also revealed child sexual abuse material. Three other similar charges were ordered to remain on file and were not subject to conviction.

In addition to the custodial sentence, the court imposed a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and a requirement for Greaves to register as a sex offender for life.
